French Riviera Yacht Charter – The Mediterranean in all its splendor

Sail in the heart of the French Riviera, a symbol of luxury yachting

French Riviera, a legendary yachting destination

From Cannes to Monaco, from Saint-Tropez to the Hyères Islands, the French Riviera is the world's leading destination for luxury yachting. Its turquoise waters, iconic ports, and unique lifestyle make it an unparalleled destination. Here, each stop combines glamour, culture, and spectacular natural landscapes.

From our base in Cannes, the Nautibliss rental agency, a subsidiary of the Santarelli Marine group since 1959, opens the doors to an exclusive Riviera. Thanks to our local expertise and our international network, we help you discover the most preserved anchorages, confidential addresses, and iconic beach clubs. Your yacht charter on the French Riviera thus becomes a tailor-made odyssey, designed down to the smallest detail.

Imagine sailing between the Lérins Islands, dining on board facing the illuminated Croisette, docking in Saint-Tropez for a legendary evening, and then admiring the sunrise off Cap d’Antibes. With Nautibliss, every moment of your cruise is designed to combine comfort, elegance, and exclusivity.

The treasures of the French Riviera

Unmissable maritime stopovers

The French Riviera is a jewel of contrasts where each stop reveals a unique atmosphere. Sailing along the Riviera means going from wild creeks to legendary ports, from Provençal charm to cosmopolitan effervescence.

  • Cannes & the Lérins Islands: Just a stone's throw from the Croisette and its glamorous atmosphere, the Lérins Islands offer a peaceful retreat. With pine forests, turquoise waters, and protected seabeds, they are ideal for swimming or diving away from the hustle and bustle.

  • Antibes & Cap d’Antibes: A symbol of the Golden Age of the Riviera, Antibes is attractive with its Port Vauban – one of the largest in Europe – and its timeless charm. Cap d’Antibes, with its rocky coves and secluded beaches, offers a spectacular view of the Alps plunging into the Mediterranean.

  • Monaco: The capital of luxury and glamour, Monaco embodies absolute exclusivity. Haute couture shopping, Michelin-starred restaurants, legendary casinos, and unforgettable evenings at Port Hercule make every stopover a unique moment.

  • Saint-Tropez: A timeless myth, the village combines the refinement of its private clubs in Pampelonne with the Provençal authenticity of its old port. Between celebration and lifestyle, Saint-Tropez remains an essential stop on the world yachting scene.
  • Hyères Islands: Porquerolles and Port-Cros offer a wilder side of the Mediterranean. Preserved nature, intimate coves, and crystalline waters make it a paradise for snorkeling and tranquility enthusiasts.

Flavors & culinary experiences

The French Riviera can also be discovered through the senses and flavors. Between Michelin-starred cuisine, festive clubs, and colorful markets, gastronomy is an essential part of the journey.

  • Michelin-starred restaurants: Dining at Louis XV – Alain Ducasse in Monaco, at Mirazur in Menton (voted best restaurant in the world), or at Palme d’Or in Cannes means tasting the quintessence of Mediterranean gastronomy.

  • Emblematic beach clubs: A festive lunch at Bagatelle, the iconic atmosphere of Club 55, the energy of Nikki Beach, or the elegance of La Réserve à la Plage: each establishment tells its vision of Azurean chic, between sophistication and bohemian spirit.
  • Provençal markets: From Nice to Antibes, via Saint-Tropez, the markets are full of authentic flavors: fragrant olives, tapenade, cheeses with character, sun-ripened fruits, and local sweets such as tarte tropézienne.

The Mediterranean art of living

The French Riviera is not just about its landscapes: it is above all a way of life.
A stroll on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, a glamorous evening at the Monaco Yacht Club, a shopping session on the Croisette in Cannes, or a relaxing day in Pampelonne… Every moment becomes a celebration of refinement.

Between Provençal authenticity, cosmopolitan elegance, and a festive atmosphere, the French Riviera cultivates an unequaled art of living, which makes each cruise a memory etched forever.
