Charter a Beautiful Sailboat Out Of Golfe Juan – Part I

Golfe Juan is home to an excellent harbour, with plenty of options to charter. From there, you can sail up the coast and visit Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, Nice and even Monaco. Down the coast, you will find Cannes, St Tropez and the smaller harbours around it. For more information on Golfe Juan, please see our blog on her here.

This morning we visited the harbour, and some of the yachts available to charter from there. Although there are plenty of motor options available, we were impressed by the variety of sailboats, and how fantastic they were on board.

Our recommendation is the beautiful Hanse 430, a 2010 model who is in stunning condition. Inside, she has 3 double cabins, accommodating for up to 6 guests. Her interior is simplistic yet elegant, and makes great use of the space. Find more information on sailboats available out of Golfe Juan here.

Visit Antibes For Your Luxury Yacht Charter!

Antibes lies between Nice and Cannes along the coast of the French Riviera. It is often missed out as somewhere to visit, but we know better – with Port Vauban, the largest yachting harbour in Europe, Antibes is a prime destination for your luxury yacht charter! One of the main sites in Antibes, the Château Grimaldi, once a stronghold of Monaco royalty and home to Pablo Picasso, stands tall as part of the city's history. Antibes Juan-les-Pins has a reputation for some of the best beaches along the French Riviera, so why not head to Antibes to discover more about them?

So, if you want to charter in Antibes, here are some suggestions for you.

REHAB, a Sunseeker Predator 68, is a brilliant yacht for day charter. She is a popular choice with our team, and will make sure your experience of Antibes and the surrounding French Riviera is unforgettable! She can cruise with a maximum of 12, so bring along your family and friends for a fantastic day out. Or if you're looking to venture further afield, REHAB can accommodate 4 guests in 2 well-appointed cabins. Her crew will attend to your every need, and make sure you get the most possible out of your charter.

Another great choice for charter is OUTSIDE EDGE, a Mangusta 72. She is kept in pristine condition with a can-do Captain, who will make some great suggestions for your charter itinerary, but will readily make changes if you fancy something different. She has a great saloon deck, so on OUTSIDE EDGE you can make the most of the sun, whether you're up for some al fresco dining or want to top up your tan. There is plenty of space to accommodate up to 7 guests in 3 cabins, or 9 of you cruising for the day.
