Yacht Charter Amalfi Summer 2015 – ANNE MARIE

The tiny port of Amalfi is much adored for its charm and relaxing atmosphere. Amalfi is a very pretty little town in a spectacular setting, wedged between the sea and the mountains with a fascinating history. Between the ninth and 12th centuries, it was a proud and glorious maritime republic with a population of 80,000. If you abandon the busy main streets and climb up into the maze of shrunken, tunnel-like side alleys and steep stairways, you will step back in time to the Middle Ages. There you will find boutique shops, cafés and restaurants and sample some of the Amalfitana specialties, such as limoncello and delicate pastries.

A Guide to Chartering a Luxury Yacht on the French Riviera Part II

Nice.

Capital of the French Riviera, Nice has something to offer for everyone. A cosmopolitan city and the main entry point to the Côte D’Azur, Nice is a perfect place to disembark a plane, and board a boat. The famous Promenade des Anglais runs along the waterfront of Nice, and offers splendid views out to sea, and these views are just as good looking back to land from your yacht!

If you’re looking for a charter vacation out of Nice, TILUSA a gorgeous Ferretti 26, from €36,000 per week, is one of our top choices. With modern and stylish furnishings, you will feel perfectly at ease as you set off on your luxury holiday cruising the French Riviera.

Antibes.

Not always the first ‘port of call’ for everybody, Antibes really should be. Home to Port Vauban, the largest yachting harbour in Europe, we have plenty of yachts to choose from! With some of the best beaches on the French Riviera, Antibes is the place to go for lovers of sun and sea.


Whether you want a day out from Antibes or a few days out at sea, this Princess 60, CALYPSO, will give you all that you could want.  With a crew of 2 who will meet your every need, there is plenty of space for 6 guests who want their own private getaway.

Yesterday we added TILUSA to our list of charter yachts. A gorgeous Ferretti, she is berthed in Nice and available for charter around the French Riviera and further afield in the West Mediterranean.

TILUSA has both elegance and style. A cream and wood theme throughout, the design incorporates sleek lines and a clean-cut finish. She offers spacious accommodation for 8 guests sleeping, or 12 guests cruising for a day out on the seas. The large decks allow you to soak up the rays and enjoy some al fresco dining during the day, but if needed there is also plenty of space for dining indoors if the evening is a bit cooler – you can then head to bed in the comfortable en suite cabins.
