Golfe Juan.

Golfe Juan marks the spot where Naploeon returned to France after exile on the island Elba. Obviously, if it’s important enough for Napoleon to go there, it’s important for us. Golfe Juan is home to many of our French Riviera sailboats, so if you’re looking to charter bareboat, or bareboat with skipper, Golfe Juan is the place to visit. Nestled between the Iles des Lerins and Cap d’Antibes, the clear warm waters are perfect for taking a dip.

This has to be one of the most famous places in the French Riviera. Home to the Cannes Film Festival, this city attracts some of the biggest names in showbiz throughout the year. Cannes has some fantastic private beaches, with amazing restaurants that make great stop-off points for lunch during your charter. Events are held all year round at the Palais des Festivals, keeping Cannes busy throughout the year.

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

The French Riviera is the perfect destination for your luxury summer charter. We have so much to offer all the way along the coast of the Côte D’Azur, as it’s such a popular destination with our clients. Whether you’re looking for a sailing yacht or motor yacht, bareboat or crewed, there’s something for you along this coastline. The French Riviera is home to glitz and glamour, good weather and great food. This section of the Mediterranean coastline is so inviting, but the roads can get pretty busy sometimes – the best way to explore the Côte D’Azur is on your own private charter yacht.

Monaco.
Home to House of Grimaldi and the Monaco Grand Prix, this may be the second smallest principality in the world but it knows how to get noticed. With the prestigious Casino de Monte Carlo and Hotel de Paris, Monaco is a great place to explore, whether you choose to start your charter here or visit as part of your itinerary.

A great choice for a day charter out of Monaco is DIABLO, a Cantieri Navali del Mediterraneo. Devilishly good looking, she cruises at 38 knots, so is perfect if you have a need for speed and style. Accommodating up to 10 guests, DIABLO is available to charter from 4,200 € per day.

Charter a Luxury Crewed Catamaran Out Of Belize City – Part II

Following on from Part I of our Belize blogs, and having introduced a sample itinerary and the destination, we give you some ideas of the best yachts to charter in Belize.

Two of our favourite yachts for charter in Belize are both Lagoon 500s. Lagoon catamarans are a part of Beneteau Yachts, and are a fantastic brand of catamaran, offering both luxury and comfort in spacious accommodation. Catamarans are perfect for first time sailors, as they provide stability on the water, and a space that you would often struggle to find in a monohull of the same length.

DORIS is the first of our Lagoon 500s, she is a 2007 model, with 3 cabins accommodating for up to 6 guests. Her crew of 2 is great and for sailing enthusiasts, they would love to let you help sail!

Our second suggestion is the beautiful AMURA, which is also a 2007 Lagoon 500, which accommodates 8 guests in her four well appointed cabins. Her interior is gorgeous and bright, though the use of large windows, which not only allow the sunlight of Belize to shine through into the yacht, but allow you to gaze out onto the crystal blue waters surrounding you.
