Your perfect day trip in the French Riviera – Part 2

Although the word ‘yacht‘ has now come to be synonymous with the beautiful catamarans, sail boats and luxury motor boats we see cruising the French Riviera. Its original name came from the dutch word ‘Jacht‘, meaning hunt and used to define the sleek and fast sailing vessels used by the dutch navy to pursue pirates in the shallow waters of the Low Countries. Later to become used to mean a vessel to transport important people, we’re sure you’ll feel in complete luxury on board FUNTIME – Sunseeker Predator 72 and MY DREAM PRINCESS – Princess 62 which best combine the elements of this ancient heritage.

FUNTIME, the Sunseeker Predator 72 accommodates up to 6 guests in 3 cabins. Her sleek lines and breathtaking top speed convey the indulgent luxury you would expect from a yacht on the French Coast. With a flick of a switch you can also open the hard top transforming the boat and enabling you to truly appreciate the beauty of the French Riviera. There is no better way to explore the coast of France than on one of the many on board toys such as the jet ski!

MY DREAM PRINCESS, the Princess 62 – accommodates up to 8 guests in 4 cabins and provides the perfect setting to entertain and host your guests with three separate setting areas, sunbeds, a barbeque and plenty of toys. Both of these yachts would make any trip along the French Riviera a pleasure and provides guests with the perfect yacht for a day trip.

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.
