What's included
Charter fee covers vessel + crew. Fuel, dockage, F&B and provisioning are billed via APA — the MYBA standard, fully transparent.
The French Riviera, 120 km of exceptional anchorages
From Menton to Saint-Tropez, the French Riviera lines up 30+ marinas and around 100 recognised anchorages. It's the densest charter zone in the world: fleet, infrastructure, airport services, Michelin-starred caterers, private heliports — all within immediate reach.
A typical 7-day itinerary: Cannes → Lérins Islands → Saint-Tropez (2 nights) → Pampelonne → Esterel → Antibes → Villefranche → Monaco. We adjust to your interests: beaches, gastronomy, events, pure rest.
Weather, winds and best windows
The Riviera enjoys exceptional weather April to October. The Mistral can blow 2-3 consecutive days in spring and autumn; a seasoned captain anticipates it and finds sheltered bays (Villefranche, Beaulieu, Théoule).
Water at 24-26°C in July-August, 21-23°C in June and September. Evenings stay mild (20-22°C), extending aft-deck dinners well into the night.
MYBA contract, the international standard
All our charters use the MYBA (Mediterranean Yacht Brokers Association) contract: standardised conditions, transparent APA, Owner Pleasure & Indemnity insurance, force majeure and technical-failure clauses fully framed.
As an independent broker member of the trade, we exclusively represent your interests in negotiation — unlike some online agencies that are mere lead-generators without a direct contract with the owner.
