Let us organise your perfect French Riviera yacht charter itinerary.

Our expert brokers know the cruising grounds intimately, both personally through first-hand experience and in real time through contacts on the ground. Your itinerary will be tailored specifically for you to deliver the holiday you want.

New to charter?

The Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is due at the time of the final charter payment. Under MYBA terms, this sum is usually equivalent to 30 per cent of the total charter fee, but may be up to 40 per cent in some cases.

Intended to cover the operating expenses of a charter as explained under Charter Terms, such as fuel, food, drinks, port fees and ad hoc incidentals, the APA will be given to the captain before the start of your charter. The Captain will ensure that the yacht is fully fuelled and provisioned when you step on board. While an up-to-date summary of accounts can be requested at any time during your charter, a full set of accounts will normally be submitted by your captain at the end of the cruise. If, during the charter, the expenditure exceeds the sum already paid, additional cash funds will be required at once.

All outstanding bills from the yacht charter should be settled in cash or by bank transfer before your final disembarkation. Of course, any remaining credit at the end of your charter will be reimbursed to you in full. On request, transfer arrangements to and from the yacht can be made by Burgess or by the yacht’s captain, payment for which will be deducted from your APA.

Tips for Yacht Charter on the Côte d’Azur

To make your rental easy and your boat trip successful, pay attention to these tips:

  • Ensure that the boat you rent suits your needs, considering the purpose of your vacation. For instance, ensure there is enough room for you to be secure and comfortable if you want to soak up the sun.
  • Ensure that you understand and are comfortable with the terms and conditions set by the individual or company you are renting from by thoroughly reading them.
  • It’s advisable to familiarize yourself with the yacht’s itinerary and nearby attractions beforehand. You may add variety to your daily life on a yacht in this way, and you might even find your calling as a guide.
  • A yacht vacation is fantastic, but as with any vacation, you need to be ready for everything. It’s best to talk to the crew ahead of time about any organizational concerns and potential complications. Seasickness is the primary issue, to which no one is immune, and it can develop suddenly and subtly. Ensure you have the appropriate anti-motion sickness medication in your first aid kit to prevent being caught off guard.
  • Delicious cuisine is an indispensable part of a trip. Take advantage of this unique chance and plan ahead for breakfasts and lunches on your yacht. They are sure to be memorable. To learn more about the boat’s amenities, such as kitchen appliances, space, and other facilities already on board, feel free to get in touch with us for detailed information.
  • Regardless of the yacht’s size, avoid overpacking; bring only what is essential for your trip. Depending on the season, consider wearing loose-fitting clothing like a T-shirt, swimsuit, or fleece is it’s cold. Wearing closed-toe shoes while traveling on board can help reduce the chance of stubbly toes and slipping.

Finally, make sure to reserve the boat charter on the French Riviera for a sufficient duration to complete all your planned activities.

Frequently Asked Questions About Boat and Yacht Rentals

How much does it cost to rent a boat with a captain for a whole day?

The cost of renting a boat depends on the type and size of the boat, its newness, the level of comfort, and the season (low or high). Therefore, below are only examples of starting prices.

  • Sailing yachts: from 400 euros per day + captain services + fuel;

In most cases, the minimum boat rental order is one day during the high season, while in the low season, it is possible to rent a boat for half a day. However, it should be noted that there are always exceptions to the rule, so if you need a boat for half a day during the high season, this option can also be found, although such options will be significantly fewer.

How far in advance do I need to book a boat?

During the high season, we recommend booking a boat as early as possible, ideally a month or even earlier, if feasible. In the low season, booking a week in advance is usually sufficient.

What are the popular boat rental routes on the French Riviera?

  • Nice – Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat – Monaco:  This route takes you from the bustling Nice through the picturesque coasts of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat to the luxurious Monaco. Along the way, you can enjoy magnificent views and exquisite seaside restaurants.

Saint-Tropez – Pampelonne: Set off from the glamorous Saint-Tropez to the famous Pampelonne beach, known for its chic beach clubs and crystal-clear waters.
  • Antibes – Juan-les-Pins – Sainte-Marguerite Island:  This route includes visiting the scenic bays of Antibes and Juan-les-Pins, as well as a stop at Sainte-Marguerite Island with its secluded beaches and historical landmarks.
  • Monaco – Nice – Antibes – Cannes – Saint-Tropez:  Start your yacht route in Monaco, admiring the majestic Port Hercules and the Monte Carlo Casino, then head along the coast to Nice to enjoy views of the Promenade des Anglais from the sea. Continue sailing to Antibes, where you can see the historic old town and the Vauban port. Next up is Cannes with its famous Boulevard de la Croisette and luxurious beaches, perfect for water sports. Finish your journey in Saint-Tropez, enjoying the glamour of famous beach clubs and the picturesque old port, with the option to anchor in the Pampelonne bay.

When does the boating season start on the French Riviera?

Thanks to the amazing climate and nearly year-round sunny weather, the sailing season starts in April and lasts until October. The peak tourist season is in the summer, which is considered the high season on the French Riviera.

Can I host a private event on board, such as a birthday, bachelorette party, or wedding?

Our boats can accommodate any private or corporate event.

What is the maximum number of passengers a boat can accommodate?

The majority of boats can accommodate between 10 to 12 people. However, our fleet also includes yachts and catamarans that can accommodate 15, 20, 30, 60, 80, and even up to 200 people for events with a large number of guests.

Are there any restrictions on departure and return times?

Typically, most boat trips start at 10:00 and end at 18:00, but alternative start and end times can be arranged if necessary.

Is fuel included in the boat rental price?

Generally, fuel costs are not included in the basic boat rental price and are paid separately. The cost of fuel depends on the fuel consumption of each specific boat model. Whether fuel costs are included in the rental or paid separately is indicated in the pricing description on each boat’s page.

When is the best time for a France yacht charter?

The best time to enjoy a yacht charter along the French Riviera is from May to September when the weather is hottest and the Mediterranean Sea is welcoming – ideal for making the most of your yacht’s water toys. The peak season runs from June to the end of August and is the busiest. May and September are considered the shoulder seasons and are great months to escape the crowds but enjoy wonderful weather.

Motor or sailing yacht charter in Southern France?

Whether you opt for a  motor boat  or  sailing yacht charter  in Southern France depends on your preferences. A motor yacht typically offers larger volume, more onboard amenities, and enhanced comfort levels than a comparatively sized sailing yacht. On the other hand, sailing yachts are desired for the romance they offer and the enhanced connection charterers enjoy with the ocean. Of course, sailing yachts are more sustainable than motor yachts, using less fuel as they instead harness the power of the wind.

Northrop and Johnson have a superb fleet of sailing yachts and motor boats for charter in Southern France, from  30 meters  (98-foot) to more than 100 meters (382-foot). Contact our charter experts for the best selection of charter yachts on the French Riviera. 

What must I know about the wind and sailing in the French Riviera?

The French Riviera is one of the most popular sailing destinations in the Mediterranean, thanks to its superb sailing conditions, refined ports-of-call, picturesque coastline, and world-class marinas and service providers. The South of France boasts a minimal tidal range and calm winds from May to September, making it an excellent sailing destination.

Northrop & Johnson has access to a spectacular selection of sailing boats for charter in the French Riviera, including the world’s finest vessels. Contact our team today. 

Which places do I want to be seen at on the French Riviera?

The French Riviera has long been the favored destination for celebrities, VIPs, royalty, and tech titans. The most exclusive destinations to see and be seen during a  superyacht charter  include: 

  • Les Caves du Roy (St. Tropez)
  • Club 55 (St. Tropez)
  • La Guérite (Ile Sainte Marguerite, off of the coats of Cannes)
  • Club Dauphin (Cap Ferrat)
  • Jimmy’z Monte Carlo (Monaco)
  • Monte Carlo Beach (Monaco)

What are the best events to attend on a South of France yacht charter?

Some of the best events to attend during a South of France yacht rental include:

  • Rolex Masters Monte Carlo
  • Cannes Film Festival
  • Monaco Grand Prix
  • Les Voiles d’Antibes
  • Monaco Red Cross Ball
  • Cannes Yachting Festival
  • Monaco Yacht Show
  • Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez

The best yachts are in high demand during these sought-after events, with many hosting extravagant parties. Contact Northrop & Johnson’s team to reserve your vessel if you want to attend any of these events. 

What do I have to consider when chartering a yacht in the South of France?

As one of the most sought-after cruising destinations in the  Mediterranean , the best charter yachts are typically booked months in advance. Marina berths are also often booked months in advance, especially around key events such as the F1 Monaco Grand Prix, the Cannes Film Festival, and the Monaco Yacht Show. To be sure that you take advantage of the best selection of yachts and marina berths, especially those in the most exclusive such as Port Hercules and St Tropez, be sure to reserve your yacht rental in advance. Contact the team at Northrop & Johnson and let us curate a holiday of a lifetime along the Cote d’Azur.

How much in advance should I book a South of France yacht rental?

It’s best to book your South of France boat rental as far in advance as possible to ensure the best selection of charter vessels and marina berths. Typically  crewed luxury yachts  are booked around six months in advance. However, some  charter yachts  do have last-minute availability, although itineraries might be more limited in their scope. If you want to rent a luxury yacht in the South of France, contact the charter experts at Northrop & Johnson. 

How do I get a mooring in St Tropez?

Berths in the St. Tropez Port are booked months in advance. The best way to secure a berth in the St. Tropez Port is to book on the 1st of January when the booking system opens for the coming season. It’s essential to book quickly as the harbor is small. If you cannot secure a berth, you must anchor outside the harbor and tender into town.

How do I get a mooring in Monaco?

The best way to secure mooring in  Monaco  is through a reputable yacht brokerage, such as Northrop & Johnson. Mooring in Monaco is always in high demand, especially during key events such as the  F1 Grand Prix . Monaco has two ports; Port Hercules in the district of La Condamine and Port Fontvieille in the district of Fontvieille. A third port, Cala del Forte, is located in Ventimiglia, Italy and is operated by Monaco Ports. Those berthing at the port can enjoy direct boat transfers to and from the principality.

  • Toulon–Hyères Airport
  • Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (International Airport)
  • Monaco Heliport

How much does it cost to charter a yacht on the French Riviera?

Expect to pay a minimum of US$50,000 per week for smaller boats and up to 1 million plus for the world’s finest superyachts. Northrop & Johnson’s  charter specialists  can work within your budget to secure the best yacht that meets your needs. Contact us today.

Côte d'azur

The french riviera, french charm and chic parties, from extravagancy to endless beaches..

It’s no mystery why this breathtaking stretch of the Mediterranean coast attracts vacationers from all around the world. The famous Côte d’Azur coastline encompasses a string of exciting superyacht destinations such as Nice, Antibes, St Tropez, Marseilles, and Cannes, as well as some quieter, but very charming, ports such as Ville Franche and St. Jean Cap Ferrat.

The French Riviera’s natural beauty and rich culture are unparalleled: the sun shines on the gleaming shades of Mediterranean blue, the hilltop villages highlight superb panoramic views, and the lively atmosphere features a buzzing nightlife. During the 19th century, this treasured part of southern France was put on the map by wealthy Europeans who came to “winter” on the Riviera. As local fishing villages adapted to the new inhabitants and visitors, towns such as Cannes , Nice, Menton, and Monaco assembled magnificent villas, glamorous casinos, and grand botanical gardens – and the idea of the French Riviera was born. Influential French stars like Brigitte Bardot and Coco Chanel began frequenting the Riviera, helping transform it into a jet-setters’ paradise.

Beyond the coast, you can take advantage of the region’s spectacular hilltop villages and mountain scenery, vineyards, palaces, flower farms, and more than your fair share of art museums. Whether you prefer the ritzy lifestyle of Saint-Tropez, the laidback Antibes, or the swanky nightlife in Monaco , there’s something for everyone on the French Riviera.

Yacht charter on the French Riviera

Where to charter on the french riviera: the harbours.

With a coastline dotted with well-connected ports and seaside towns, you will no doubt be spoilt for choice when it comes to where to go on holiday.

Would you like to set sail in the eastern part of the French Riviera? Two ideal ports to choose from are undoubtedly Nice and Antibes, or nearby Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat: popular summer destinations and recognised as two of the most exclusive on the coast. They will be a great choice if you want to alternate moments of relaxation in the city with sailing.

Continuing along the coast, we cannot fail to suggest renting a boat in Hyères: characterised by splendid natural landscapes and known for the cultivation of palm groves, it is one of the most fascinating villages in the region. Particularly known for its crystal-clear turquoise sea and important seaside resort, Hyères is not only ideal if you are looking for relaxation, but especially if you wish to set sail to discover the Golden Islands, loved for their enchanting views. 

Saint-Raphaël and Fréjus, located between Cannes and Saint-Tropez, can be two interesting options if you are nearby. Two comfortable and well-equipped harbours that will allow you to set sail with ease, whether you are heading east or west.

Moving towards the west coast of the region, Click&Boat's yacht charter on the Côte d'Azur offers interesting bases such as Toulon and La Ciotat, two interesting alternatives to explore the calanques area and enjoy long days of sailing in total relaxation.

The best routes on the Côte d'Azur : not to be missed!

What better way to explore the French Riviera than on board a boat? This way, you will have access to the most secluded anchorages and islands off the coast, accessible only by sea.

Here are some of the routes not to be missed:

Marseille: the most popular port of departure for sailors is the ancient Phoenician city of Marseille. First destination for the French in terms of sailing, the city of Marseille is the guardian of many scenic treasures, such as the famous Calanques National Park. The Calanque de Morgiou is one of the favourite coves of sailors for its splendour and majesty. An unmissable anchorage in a preserved natural area.

Hyères - Hyères les Palmiers is a privileged spot on the French Riviera. By renting a boat in Hyères, you will have immediate access to one of the most precious natural heritages of the French Riviera: the Golden Islands. Off the Giens peninsula, the island of Porquerolles, the National Park of Port-Cros and the island of Levant are real natural treasures offering views of incredible scenery.

Saint-Tropez and Port Grimaud: favourites since the 1950s, they are also of great historical value - why not take a leisurely stroll around the Old Port to admire the luxury yachts moored and sip an aperitif overlooking the sea at sunset?

Cannes - When sailing to Cannes, it is unthinkable not to stop at the Lérins Islands archipelago. Made up of the islands of Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat, this wild archipelago is the flagship of the Bay of Cannes. Our favourite anchorage? Between the two main islands to admire the Abbey of Lérins.

Villafranche del Mar and Anse des Fossettes: near Nice, you'll find the beautiful town of Villefranche-sur-Mer and the nearby Anse des Fossettes, a cove of clear water, perfect for a few hours of relaxation.

When is the best time to go to the French Riviera?

In the height of summer, temperatures along the coast can reach 35°C on land, and with an average sea level of 24°C, what a pleasure to charter a boat on the Côte d'Azur and enjoy a refreshing dip during the day!

The ideal months to organise a holiday in the area are between April and October, so a fairly long season that allows you to go out for most of the year.

Do you prefer a quiet holiday away from the tourists? Nothing better than taking the helm during the "Indian summer", when the beaches are empty again and tranquillity reigns in most of the coves along the coast.

How much does it cost to rent a boat in the French Riviera?

The price of a Côte d'Azur boat charter holiday can vary greatly depending on the type, size and age of the boat, the destination and the length of the charter. Prices also vary depending on the time of year that you hire a boat in the French Riviera: demand is higher in the summer (high-season) and as such prices are higher then too. With Click & Boat you can hire a boat that perfectly fits your needs from as little as € 100 / day up to € 2500 / day for a luxury yacht charter. If you intend on renting a boat for a longer period of time and sleeping on board then you can expect to pay from € 650 / week in the low season or € 1500 / week in the high season up to € 17500 / week.

At Borrow A Boat we're on a mission to make boating more accessible and to make it easier for you to get on the water. We believe boating should be available to everyone, and we can help the boating industry, boat owners, marinas, and everyone who wants to go boating by providing a 21st-century boating marketplace. Borrow A Boat is the best place to find and rent boats of all sorts, from a canal and riverboat across Europe to a sailing boat, motor boat, catamaran across North America, the Mediterranean, Caribbean and further afield, along with some of the world's most impressive superyachts and luxury yacht charters.

Boats or Yachts Available For Rent Or Charter In French Riviera

Where it comes to chartering or renting boats in French Riviera below is a list of the typical types of boats that you can hire on Borrow A Boat with a description of the boat type. If you can't find the individual boat charter you are looking for when you do a search in French Riviera it's worthwhile searching nearby locations as your chosen boat type might be available nearby.

When searching a geographical area on Borrow A Boat you can filter by the below boat types. There is also the option to further filter your searches by price, the number of guests, cabins or bathrooms, what year the boat or sailing yacht was launched, the boat length and the boat manufacturer.

Sailing Yacht (Sailboat): From €120/£100/$135 a day up to whatever you can afford, monohull sailing yachts are fun to sail at all points of the wind and an affordable way to get around if your island hopping or finding your own secluded coves or sandy beaches along with longer cruises. Sizes range from those for a couple or small family to a full sized luxury charter yacht.

Catamaran: Luxury catamarans are stable and spacious, with quick sailing performance, and and have been gaining in popularity in recent years. Better for larger groups, they have lots of room for water toys, and are big enough for a little privacy. A catamaran charter is easy and comfortable for novices not used to heeling and are loved by families due to their extra space when compared to a monohull. Typically far more luxurious than a sailboat the larger catamarans have en suite toilets and showers in the staterooms as well as ample entertaining space in the saloon and on deck.

Power Catamaran: These types of boats are relatively new but have also been gaining in popularity as the two hulls keep the boat more stable when compared to a monohull. The wider beam also means more deck space and as they don't have sails or a mast, they have a lot more space on deck than a sailing catamaran rental or monohull. For a luxury catamaran charter, consider taking a crewed catamaran charter sailing vacation with an experienced skipper.

Luxury Yacht: Luxury yacht charters are available for either a sailing yacht (sailboat), catamaran or motorboat and will have a crew and host/hostess on hand to cater for whatever your needs are along with a skipper who will have a detailed knowledge of your cruising area. On a crewed yacht charter of this kind you get to create your own personal itinerary and will have far greater range than on other boats which allows for lots of variety in how you travel and what you do.

Superyacht: A superyacht or sometimes called mega yacht are boats which are least 24 metres (79 feet) in length up to 180 metres (590 feet) and can either be sailing yachts (sailboats) or motorboats. These types of boats are most frequently found in the Med of Caribbean and due to their size they will have a large chartering area and can typically pick you up from whatever location you require rather than you being required to get to a set marina to start your charter. They are fully crewed with professional staff who will cater for your every need along with a skipper who will have extensive knowledge of your chosen cruising areas.

Motorboat: This covers a wide variety of boats from a motor yacht with cabins to a private boat trip for a fishing trip but all of the these are comfortable seagoing boats with a kick of speed should you want to cover a bigger distance on the day.​

RIB: Very much day boats for fishing and day cruising, RIBs are a lot of fun for a day afloat. They can be very quick and are great should you be in a town on holiday and fancy seeing the coast or finding secluded sandy beaches to get away from it all.

Skippered Yacht Charter or Bareboat

When it comes to boat hire or yacht charter in French Riviera you typically have two choices - bareboat yacht hire or skippered yacht charter.

When using Borrow A Boat you can filter all boat searches to be with or without skipper depending on what you are looking for and below we cover some of the main points to consider for your boat hire.

Skippered Charter: A skippered yacht charter gives you the advantage of being able to get afloat without having to invest in getting sailing qualifications before hand. For a monohull sailing yacht you will pay €120/£100/$135 plus a day extra for the skipper, as well as their food and a tip at the end.

When you get to a luxury yacht or superyacht charter with crew these prices will increase and costs also depend on where you plan to sail to along with the size and type of boat rental on your sailing holiday.

In some cases skippers will also be the yacht or boat owners (typically day trips) which means they will know all the best secluded beaches to show you the best that the area has to offer with their local knowledge.

For day trips you will often be able to use a skipper as well and prices will vary depending on the type of boat.

Bareboat Yacht Charter: For skilled sailors, a bareboat charter is cheaper and gives more privacy for you and your charter guests. Many sailors prefer to be helming the boat while choosing their own course, and provided you have the knowledge and relevant qualifications you can skipper these boats (typically up to 54 feet/16.5 metres in length) yourself.

Do You Need A Licence To Charter A Yacht In French Riviera

If you are on a gulet or skippered yacht charter you do not need a license to sail a yacht out of French Riviera. This is also the case where you are renting a small motorboat without a cabin for a day trip around the local islands or beaches.

You do need a license if you are on a bareboat yacht charter, here are some examples of sailing qualifications:

International Certificate of Competence: This is issued on request by your European sailing authority and you should automatically qualify with certain national sailing qualifications.

RYA Qualifications: If you have the following qualifications you will be able to take a bareboat charter out of French Riviera, these include Day Skipper (sail or motor endorsement), Coastal Skipper or Yachtmaster.

American Sailing Association (ASA): The ASA 104 Bareboat certificate is commonly accepted.

US Sailing: The International Proficiency Certificate is widely accepted and The Bareboat Cruising Certificate is also accepted in many cases.

The main points to consider are what is your budget, have you got the necessary sailing experience and qualifications to manage the boat if it's not going to have a skipper, whom you are taking sailing, where exactly you wish to go and what will the weather be like on the proposed dates of your trip.

We are confident that our prices are the most competitive and transparent in the market.

We won't charge any booking fees when you make a booking with us.

We have the highest number of verified and vetted boats available on the market.

The French riviera has so many beautiful spots and fun activities to offer that the chances are incredibly high to create unforgettable memories.

Explore the historical French Riviera

The French riviera has been traditionally influenced by both Italy and France. This is still very visible in the architecture of the cities along the Cote d’Azur. This region has been inhabited since prehistoric times and was also part of the Roman empire for a period of time. You can still find some ancient ruins of this era in the region, including the Theatre Romain in Fréjus .

Sailing conditions in the French Riviera

The French Riviera is one of the most popular sailing destinations for sailors worldwide - not just for those seeking glitz and glamour. Sailing season on the French Riviera is from April to October, making it the perfect destination to visit outside of the peak season in July and August. The beaches are less crowded, but it is still warm. In the summer temperatures can go beyond 35 degrees and sea temperatures are generally at around 24/25 degrees, making it perfect for a swim when taking a break from sailing.

The wind conditions in this part of the Mediterranean are also ideal if you are looking at chartering a sailboat. You will be blessed with great wind most of the time, but it won’t be as strong as in other parts of the Mediterranean, making the French Riviera also a great destination for novice sailors.

How much does it cost to rent a boat in the French Riviera?

The price to rent a boat on the French riviera can vary based on a couple of different factors. It depends on the season, the type and size of your boat, the amount of passengers it is supposed to carry, what kind of amenities are included on board, etc. While renting a luxury yacht on the French riviera is definitely not in everyone’s budget, there are cheaper options that will guarantee you a fantastic boat holiday in this part of the Mediterranean.

Rent a speedboat in France for only 38 EUR. This is definitely affordable, however, speedboats are either made for day trips or trips that only last for a couple of days. On average, you can charter a sailboat in France for just 45 EUR per person per day. Rent a RIB in France for 49 EUR per person per day on average. When you charter a catamaran in France , you can expect to pay around 70 EUR per person per day in France. At an average price of 283 EUR per person per day renting a motorboat is the most expensive option to rent a boat in France , but the prices also vary depending on the season and the type of motorboat.

Keep in mind that the prices will be higher during the busy summer months June, July and August! However, these are only average prices and you can always find less expensive or pricier boats to rent in France. If you want to charter a yacht at a lower price, we would recommend you book your boat off season. Keep your eyes open for many exclusive deals all year round with Zizoo!

What type of boat is best for sailing on the French riviera?

Which boat you should charter when vacationing on the French riviera highly depends on the type of boat holiday you would like to experience here. You would charter a different kind of yacht than the one you would rent if you are looking at experiencing a real adventure and stepping foot into the shoes of the sailors of the golden times of discoveries.

Rent a catamaran on the French riviera

Pros of renting a catamaran in the French riviera

One of the advantages of renting a catamaran on the French riviera is the fact that catamarans have a shallow draft and no keel. This means that you can sail super close to the shore and discover all the hidden bays, beaches and coves you wouldn’t want to miss along the Cote d’Azur.

Another advantage of chartering a catamaran on the French riviera is the fact that catamarans are equipped with both an engine and a sail. This gives you a big advantage over other types of boats, because you can sail with the wind when it blows, but revert to using the engine should the wind suddenly stop blowing. That means that you won’t suddenly get stuck in the middle of the sea. Rather than having to patiently wait for the wind to pick up again, you can reach your destination by using the engine.

Another great thing about catamarans is the fact that they are often bigger than other types of boats. You won’t feel claustrophobic when entering the cabin you’re going to sleep in, instead you will feel like sleeping in a comfortable hotel room on water. Also, the fact that catamarans stand on two hulls gives them more stability than other types of boats, meaning that the boat won’t feel too shaky - even if the wind suddenly picks up.

One of the most popular catamarans to charter on the French riviera is Catamaran Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 which is available in Port de Bormes-les-Mimosas and offers space for up to 10 guests. Hire a captain in addition to your bareboat charter for extra comfort. You can lean back, relax and rely on someone else to take care of navigating and operating the boat.

Cons of renting a catamaran on the French riviera

One of the downsides of renting a catamaran on the French riviera is their size. While a bigger boat might mean more comfort at first, it can also come with a lot of struggles of finding a space for mooring at the marinas. It might be especially difficult during the busy summer months June, July and August when many tourists are flocking to the Cote d’Azur. If you are lucky enough to secure a spot for mooring, you have to navigate your boat to the spot and might have to pay extra for extra space.

Charter a catamaran on the French riviera

Rent a sailboat in the French Riviera

Pros of renting a sailboat on the French Riviera

Chartering a sailboat on the French riviera means that you can take full advantage of the fantastic wind conditions in this part of the Mediterranean. You can use the wind as your fuel and don’t need to fill up your tank with petrol every time you leave a marina.

One of the most popular sailboats to rent on the French Riviera is Sailboat Beneteau Oceanis 40.1 which offers space for up to 10 people and can be chartered with or without a captain.

Cons of renting a sailboat in French Riviera

One of the downsides of renting a sailboat is the fact that they only run on wind. If the wind suddenly stops blowing, you might get stuck in the middle of the sea and have to patiently wait for the wind to pick up again. This can be incredibly frustrating. Luckily, the ideal wind conditions in this part of the Mediterranean make it less likely that you actually get stranded.

Charter a sailboat on the French Riviera

Rent a motorboat on the French Riviera

Pros of renting a motorboat on the French Riviera

One of the advantages of renting a motorboat on the French Riviera is their speed. Motorboats are generally faster than other types of boats. This means that you get to see more places in a shorter amount of time, making the most of the time you have on the Cote d’Azur.

Another advantage of chartering a motorboat is the fact that they don’t have a keel, but a shallow draft. This makes them the perfect boats to explore the French coast and stop by some beautiful hidden beaches. You might miss them if you would sail on another type of boat, but with a motorboat you can sail very close to the shore.

One of the most popular motorboats to rent on the French Riviera is Motorboat Prestige 38 S which offers space for up to 9 people and is equipped with air conditioning. You can charter this boat with or without a captain, depending on the type of boat holiday you would like to experience.

Cons of renting a motorboat on the French Riviera

One of the downsides of renting a motorboat on the French Riviera is the fact that they solely run on fuel. If you use the engine often and hop from place to place, you might be surprised by a hefty additional bill. The ever-increasing fuel prices don’t make this a cheap undertaking.

Motorboat rental on the French Riviera

Charter a luxury yacht on the French riviera

If you have the necessary budget to charter a luxury yacht on the French Riviera, you should do so, stepping foot into the lives of the rich and famous for a week. One of the most beautiful luxury yachts to rent on the Cote d’Azur is Motorboat Princess V78 which is available in Cannes. The yacht offers space for up to 12 people and comes with a crew that is going to take care of you on your boat vacation.

Charter a luxury yacht on the French Riviera

What kind of boat license do you need when renting a boat in the French riviera?

It may come as a surprise to some, but if you rent a sailboat or catamaran you don’t need to have a boat licence in France. However, before you get too excited: You need to show that you already have experience sailing the type of boat you plan on renting by stating where, when and what kind of boat you were sailing on previous sailing endeavors. If you don’t have previous sailing experience or simply want to relax on your sailing vacation, you can always hire a skipper or captain in addition to your bareboat charter on the French Riviera.

You are, however, required to have a valid boat licence in France when chartering a motorboat with more than 6 hp.

Sailing routes along the French Riviera

Start your sailing adventures on the French Riviera in Port Pin Rolland and end your adventure in the same spot after visiting some of the most beautiful places the coast has to offer.

Day 1 - Sail from Port Pin Rolland to Embiez Island : As Port Pin Rolland is mainly a marina, there is not much to see here. Head straight to Embiez Island to swim in the turquoise waters and to discover an island that is filled with natural wonders. It has become a big project to preserve the natural beauty of this island, as well as its flora and fauna. So be mindful when coming here!

Day 2 - Sail from Embiez Island to Cassis : Cassis is a charming town by the water and probably best known for its colourful waterfront. Stroll around the streets of this ancient fishing port village to travel back in time. Hike up Cap Canaille for some stunning seaside views

Day 3 - Sail from Cassis to Calanque de Morgiou : Calanque de Morgiou is a small island not far from Cassis which is so worth exploring. Escape the masses and dive into some of the most stunning caves you have ever seen.

Day 4 - Sail from Calanque de Morgiou to Marseille : Marseille has an incredible old town you should visit when landing here. Stroll through the old, picturesque streets and visit one of the popular markets in the city. Hike up the Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde to admire the fantastic architecture and enjoy the view

Day 5 - Sail from Marseille to La Ciotat : Once in La Ciotat you have to make your way to the local fish market La Rue des Poilus . Grab some fresh fish and prepare a wonderful meal on board your boat. Enjoy the freshest fish you can find and enjoy your sailing holiday on the French Riviera.

Day 6 - Sail from La Ciotat to Bandol : In Bandol you can sunbathe on the beach or hike one of the picturesque trails. Bandol gets plenty of sunshine in the summer, making it the perfect spot to just sit in one of the cafes and sip a coffee or wine and watch locals and tourists alike stroll around the streets

Day 7 - Sail from Bandol back to Port Pin Rolland : Before heading back to the marina, you should stop by Ile Du Gaou, a natural preserve where you can discover beautiful nature and enjoy the superb views of the Mediterranean
