The French Riviera is undoubtedly one of the best locations for luxury yacht charter with a degree of glamour guaranteed. From Nice to Cannes, or Antibes to Saint Tropez, from the famous french names like Dior, Yves St Laurent, Boucheron and Louis Vuitton to the Italian houses of Dolce & Gabana, Ferragamo or Versace, 'haute couture' is everywhere.
An abundance of luxury welcomes every tourist: from the glorious hotel palaces of Cannes and the famous Michelin starred restaurants situated along the coast or in the nearby countryside, to the ultimate shopping and an infinite choice of leisure activities.
You can charter the best luxury yachts in the world on the French Riviera. Why not sail to the calanques of Marseilles, the islands of Port Cros and Porquerolles, the islands of Lerins near Cannes, or some unique ports such as Saint Jean Cap Ferrat or Villefranche sur Mer. And you are at the heart of some of the best nightlife too, all in abundance in Saint Raphael, Saint Tropez, Cannes, Juan les Pins or Monaco.
Not forgetting of course that this coast hosts the famous Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix and voile de St Tropez, a perfect time to take advantage of the vast choice of luxury yachts available to charter from Cannes, Monaco and the surrounding ports.
