O MEGA

The Monaco Yacht Show is a unique day out, which is extremely fitting for the most prestigious principality in the world. There would be no better way to spend a weekend in September than starting in Monte Carlo at the Hotel de Paris. Then why not spend the Saturday at the Monaco Yacht Show, before shopping on the Avenue de Monte Carlo and drinks at the Café de Paris.

 

RIVA RIVALE 52

Having experienced some of the most luxurious yachts at the exhibition, you could spend your Sunday on the water, with a day charter to Antibes, Cannes or the Lerins Islands.

Corsica, fusion of French and Italian Rivieras, makes the perfect luxury yacht charter destination

 

Yacht charter in Corsica

Corsica is a beautiful island with imposing mountain ranges, luscious pine forests and crystal clear waters. Located southeast of the French mainland and north of Sardinia, Corsica is the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, who rose to prominence during the latter stages of the French Revolution. The island has prospered for over 3000 years from grape cultivation, creating great French and Italian inspired vineyards and wine.

There is nothing more spectacular in Corsica than the ports of Ajaccio, Calvi and Bonifacio. Set against imposing cliffs, these ports provide a great setting for dinner with delicious delicacies such as cured sausages, cheeses and lamb seasoned with wild herbs.

The ports of Ajaccio, Calvi and Bonifacio provide a great starting point for exploring Corsica’s stunning coastline on a luxury yacht charter. You will find a great selection of yachts, motorboats and sailing boats in Corsica, due to the very close proximity of the French Riviera.

One of our favourite luxury yachts for weekly charter is LEILA LINA, a luxurious Cantieri di Pisa, perfect for chartering around Corsica, Sardinia and the French and Italian Riviera’s. She combines great looks, natural colours, dark wood and leather throughout, providing great comfort on the water. For luxury day charters, we recommend OUR LIFE, a beautiful Princess V53 motorboat. She matches luxury, performance and comfort and guests can enjoy her great outdoor space to soak up thesummer rays or for alfresco dining. She is a beautiful modern day motorboat, which would integrate into the most prestigious ports on the Riviera.

 

If you would like to experience things a little slower, then why not try a weekly charter on one of our luxury catamarans. Our Luxury Catermaran : Lagoon 500 would be an ideal choice for a relaxing week charter, giving guests time to relax on the wet bar whilst enjoying the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

We would highly recommend the Sunseeker Manhattan 74 for a luxury day charter. She offers great outdoor space, perfect for enjoying the views of the Riviera and its climate. Renting this boat and cruising down to St Tropez Club 55, Brigitte Bardot’s favourite beach club, would be a great way to explore the natural beauty that the South of France has to offer.

However, if you were looking for a more luxurious, modern yacht then the Riva Domino 86 would be your ideal choice. She offers the very best in luxury yacht design and speed, yet glides smoothly along the French Riviera and would not look out of place in the most prestigious ports around the world.
