Three Fantastic Options for Luxury Day Charters in Cannes

With the summer fast approaching, and the weather in Cannes constantly improving, we highly recommend looking into chartering a luxury yacht for a day. In this blog, we outline just three of the many fantastic options that you can choose from. As always, if you have any questions about chartering, please do contact us.

Our first option for your day charter is the stunning AQUA BLUE, a Sunseeker Predator 74, accommodating for up to 6 guests overnight or 10 on a day charter. Her interior is both bright and airy, with a delightful blend of light wood and cream furnishings. On the aft deck, and on the front of the yacht, there is some beautiful deck space for all guests to enjoy. Her crew are extremely professional, and will ensure that your day charter is nothing less than unforgettable. She is available for charter at a rate of €5,000 per day plus expenses.

Our second choice for your day charter is DELHIA, a Mangusta 92, accommodating for up to 11 guests for day charters along the French Riviera. Charter Brokers Ben and Adam recently saw her and were both amazed by her crew and the food prepared on board. Ben said, about the food, “the preparation on DELHIA was second to none, I would highly recommend trying the chicken in soy and honey sauce!” She has a large open interior, and our favourite space on board was on the aft deck, DELHIA is available at a daily rate of €8,125 plus expenses.

Our third and final option is a new yacht to the charter market. The Sessa C48, a slightly smaller option, offers guests an extremely luxurious day out on board. The Captain is absolutely fantastic, and he will make sure that you have an extremely special day out, whether you're planning a day to Monaco, Saint Tropez, or just a trip to the stunning Iles de Lerins.

Cannes Film Festival, Day 7 – Behind the Candelabra – Our Yacht Nominee: WILD THYME !

Day 7 of the Cannes Film Festival features the highly anticipated standalone drama, Behind the Candelabra, by Steven Soderbergh, an Academy Award–winning film director, best known for directing critically acclaimed Hollywood films such as Out of Sight, Erin Brockovich and Traffic. It is based on Liberace’s autobiographical novel recounting the tempestuous 6-year homosexual relationship between him and his young lover, Scott Thorson. Liberace is masterfully played by the Hollywood veteran Michael Douglas, who paints a stark picture of celebrity loneliness in this dark comedy. Together with Matt Damon, who plays the young lover Scott Thorson, they are magnificent in portraying this beautiful but toxic relationship that moves from the highs of their first years together to miserable loneliness and Liberace’s death in 1987.

In keeping with the flamboyance and theme of this film, our yacht nominee is WILD THYME. It would be the perfect luxury yacht charter for Michael Douglas as Liberace. WILD THYME accommodates up to 10 guests in 5 beautifully appointed en-suite cabins that are replete with exquisitely designed soft furnishings and marble bathrooms. What’s more the owner’s cabin and bathroom offer magnificent opulence, with gorgeous soft silks in ivory and gold and a stunning view from the panoramic bow window – just the sort of luxury that Liberace would expect and would without doubt give any charter the time of their lives.

This opulence continues on the exterior of the yacht with al fresco dining, a deck jacuzzi and a fantastic array of water toys for those looking to be active! The crew of 7 lead by experienced Captain Peter van Houweninge will look to your every need and ensure you have the very best possible charter.

WILD THYME, is a fantastic yacht to charter for events such as the Cannes Film Festival or the Cannes Lion Festival and is a perfect opportunity to host clients, impress friends, seal deals and enjoy the rewards of a hard years work.

Charter A Luxury Yacht To St Tropez and Club 55 For the Day

Boats moored in St Tropez A day charter to Club 55 on a sleek motor yacht is our most popular French Riviera destination; it really is the destination of choice if you want to experience St Tropez.

Club 55 originated in 1955 when Brigitte Bardot was filming And God Created Women on Pampelonne Beach and the director asked a fisherman’s hangout if they could cook for the cast. It’s been almost synonymous with the St Tropez Beach scene since then, and never disappoints. Club 55 is a well-groomed private beach club in the middle of Pampelonne Beach combined with a “laid back elegant” outdoor restaurant that serves perfect beach cuisine in a buzzy but relaxed and surprisingly intimate setting. A hotspot for the rich and famous, the beach and restaurant are open all summer long.
The pier at Club 55 on Pampelonne beach in St Tropez

A typical day at Club 55, assuming you’re coming by yacht and not by the horribly congested road into St Tropez, begins after a 1-2 hour cruise from Cannes, Antibes or Monaco past the beautiful Esterel red rock coastline. Mangustas, Leopards, Sunseekers and a variety of Super Yachts literally line up to anchor just off the beach, where the Club’s tender zips out to meet your party and bring you to the dock.

Get to the beach early in order to find the best available spot, and be ready to relax and people watch, before sitting down to enjoy your lunch. The restaurant offers extremely fresh foods, simply and perfectly prepared. A large catch of the day, served for an entire table, is a favourite. Starters are a good selection of fresh seasonal vegetables,and other classics such as prosciutto with The outdoor Lounge Area at Club 55 in St Tropez melon and salad Nicoise. The house rosé is light and practically mandatory with your lunch.

Club 55 is run by the son of the original owner, Patrice de Colmont. Patrice seems to know everyone and is amazingly aware of all that goes on in the restaurant. Somehow, he manages to keep track of where everyone is sitting, making sure all the celebrities get their special tables. He is one of the most well known men in St Tropez, yet his passion still lies in his restaurant and ensuring it still serves great food with style.

Club 55 is just one of the beach clubs on Pampelonne Beach, which, along with Nikki Beach’s pool and party atmosphere and
many other beach restaurants, is thriving throughout the summer. The Restaurant in Club 55 in St Tropez See our day charter yachts from Cannes for a great choice of yachts for your trip to St Tropez and Club 55.
