Riviera Destinations and Insider Secrets

The South of France is more than a single city — it’s a string of stunning destinations, each offering unique experiences for yacht owners.

Cannes: Glamour and Hidden Gems

Cannes is world-famous for its Film Festival, golden beaches, and luxury boutiques. But co-owners know where the real magic lies:

Hidden dining gems: Le Maschou in Le Suquet for truffle mussels, Astoux et Brun by the harbour for fresh oysters.
Secret bars: Bar Le Baoli rooftop is perfect for sunset cocktails.
Off-the-radar spots: Row over to Île Sainte-Marguerite, wander the forest paths and visit the historic prison — few tourists venture here.

Anchoring in Cannes gives you access to both the iconic and the secret, letting you experience the city like a local while enjoying full comfort onboard.

Nice: Chic, Culture, and Local Life

Nice offers a blend of sophistication and charm:

Dock near the Quai des États-Unis to explore the Promenade des Anglais.
Morning tip: swim at Blue Beach, a quieter spot than the main city beaches.
Food tip: visit Cours Saleya Market and try freshly made socca from a family-run stall.

Nice is a hub for art, culture, and Riviera flair — and as an owner, your yacht is your gateway to the city and surrounding secret coves.

Antibes: Iconic Marina and Secluded Spots

Port Vauban is Europe’s largest marina and a vibrant yacht hub. Co-owners love:

Visiting the Picasso Museum and wandering the Grimaldi Château gardens for a tranquil stroll.
Swimming at Plage de la Garoupe, a quiet cove tucked behind cliffs, perfect for midday dips.
Enjoying a café on the marina before heading back onboard for evening relaxation.

Monaco: Prestige and Events

Monaco is synonymous with luxury, and owning a yacht here puts you at the centre of it all:

Events: Grand Prix week is legendary, but fireworks on national holidays are spectacular from your yacht.
Hidden spots: skip the main casino crowd and sip champagne on the terrace of Café de Paris, watching yachts come and go.
Nightlife: From the iconic Jimmy’z to waterfront clubs, Monaco’s after-dark scene is unmatched.

St Tropez: Style, Beaches, and Nightlife

St Tropez offers a mix of high-energy nightlife and relaxing coastal charm:

Beach lunch tip: Bagatelle Plage offers a more laid-back experience than crowded Pampelonne.
Evening drinks: locals head to Le Quai rather than the busy Sénéquier terrace.
Art & culture: explore the local galleries and quaint streets for a quiet stroll.

Hidden Riviera Gems

For those who crave adventure beyond the major towns, the Îles d’Hyères and Porquerolles offer crystal waters, quiet anchorages, and untouched natural beauty — perfect for swimming, kayaking, or simply relaxing onboard.
