Begin your French Riviera charter in Monaco, the sovereign city-state synonymous with prestige and power. Wander the yacht-filled Port Hercules, admire the Prince’s Palace, and explore the old quarter of Monaco-Ville. In the evening, dress to the nines for an unforgettable night at the legendary Casino de Monte-Carlo, opened in 1863 and renowned for its Belle Époque architecture and global clientele. Monaco also offers fine dining at Michelin-starred restaurants and panoramic views from Le Rocher, making it the perfect introduction to Riviera luxury.

Sail a short stretch to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, an isthmus of refined villas and lush gardens resting above the sea. Anchor in a calm cove and dive into clear water. Later, tender ashore to roam the famed Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, built between 1907 and 1912 by Béatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild, with nine themed gardens and one of the “Notable Gardens of France.” Follow coastal paths that lead through cypress shade and hidden viewpoints.

One gentle mile brings you to Villefranche, a harbor beloved by captains for its depth and charm. Settle in, then step ashore to explore the pastel village, local markets, and framing hillsides. At sunset, return to your yacht where the sea whispers against the hull and dinner glimmers under Riviera skies.

Cruise toward Antibes with coastline views that alternate between rugged outcrops and cultivated slopes. Dock near the old town beside historic ramparts. Visit Musée Picasso at Château Grimaldi, stroll through the bustling Marché Provençal for fresh olives, soaps, local produce, and soak in a timeless port where fishing-village roots still resonate beside luxury yachts.

Cruise to the Îles de Lérins, a serene pair of islands off Cannes. Anchor off Île Saint-Honorat, home to Cistercian monks who have tended vineyards here since the 5th century. Explore its ancient chapels, stroll along forested trails, swim in sheltered coves, and enjoy a picnic with local Provençal produce before returning aboard for a tranquil evening surrounded by the scent of sea pine and the sound of gentle surf.

Cruise southwest to Saint-Tropez, the Riviera’s enduring emblem of glamour and coastal charm. Anchor off Pampelonne Beach, a five-kilometre stretch renowned for its chic beach clubs and crystalline waters. Spend the day swimming, lounging, or indulging in seaside dining at iconic spots like Club 55. As twilight sets in, the town transforms—cobblestone lanes hum with live music, candlelit terraces glow, and Provençal ease flows effortlessly into the jet-set rhythm that defines Saint-Tropez.

On your final morning, take a quiet swim or wander the shoreline before setting course for Monaco. The return cruise traces the Riviera’s most scenic stretch, revealing the coastline’s layered elegance—from hidden coves near Cap Taillat to the sparkling marinas of Cannes and Antibes. Arrive in Monaco for a relaxed brunch on deck, share final toasts with your crew, and linger along Port Hercule as the week’s memories settle into the rhythm of the harbor.
