We thought we&#8217;d devote this post to what is new for 2009, in anticipation of your visit to <a title=\"Yacht charter in St Tropez\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yacht_charter\/st_tropez_charter.php\">St Tropez<\/a>, <a title=\"Cannes, France Yacht Charter\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yacht_charter\/cannes_yacht_charter.php\">Cannes<\/a>, <a title=\"Monaco Yacht Charter\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yacht_charter\/monaco_charter.php\">Monaco<\/a>, or anywhere in between.<\/p>\n<p>First of all perhaps <strong>the major difference vs 2008<\/strong> is that we now have a buyer&#8217;s market, which is great news for all of you charterers out there!\u00a0 While there have lately been signs that the business is returning back to normal levels, there is still the opportunity to get good deals if you book your yacht before the end of May.\u00a0 After that, many of the best yachts will be full, and the deals will evaporate.\u00a0 So if\u00a0 you are seriously considering a yacht of any size this summer in the Riviera, please let us know in the next couple of weeks. We&#8217;ve listed some of our best <a title=\"Yacht Charter Specials and deals for the French Riviera\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yacht_search\/yacht_charter_specials.php?locations=French+Riviera&#038;submit_dest=Search!\">French Riviera Yacht Charter Deals here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"right\" title=\"Party Boats for up to 56 people in the French Riviera\" alt=\"Party Boats for up to 56 people in the French Riviera\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/temp\/catamaran-group-main3374.jpg\" \/>Event and Celebration Boats.<\/strong>\u00a0 In the past, we&#8217;ve had to turn away many groups that had more than 12 people because, due to Maritime Law and insurance reasons, there are very few yachts on the Riviera that are qualified to carry more then 12 people.\u00a0 The good news this summer is that we have several fantastic Event Catamarans that carry up to 56 people!\u00a0 They are reasonably priced, designed with groups in mind, and are happy to add catering, DJs, water sports, etc.\u00a0 So if you have a business meeting, birthday, wedding reception, stag party, team building event or any other reason to put a large number of people on a boat, we now have several great alternatives for you (we of course also offer motor yachts that carry up to 150 people if that&#8217;s what you&#8217;re looking for!). <a title=\"Event Catamaran on the French Riviera\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yacht_search\/yacht_view.php?pid=3482\">Click here to see one of our Event Catamarans<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>More information about great new yachts for charter in our next post!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sun has returned, the Film Festival is in full swing, Monaco Grand Prix stands are assembled and ready for the race this weekend &#8211; which means that the French Riviera is fully up and running for the high season! <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/2009\/05\/18\/whats-new-in-the-french-riviera-for-summer-2009\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">  What&#8217;s new in the French Riviera for Summer 2009?<\/span><span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,2,20,11,8,19,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cannes","category-news","category-monaco","category-south-of-france","category-specials-and-deals","category-st-tropez","category-yachting-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.5.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What&#039;s new in the French Riviera for Summer 2009? - Yacht Charter News and Boating Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/2009\/05\/18\/whats-new-in-the-french-riviera-for-summer-2009\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"What&#039;s new in the French Riviera for Summer 2009? - Yacht Charter News and Boating Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The sun has returned, the Film Festival is in full swing, Monaco Grand Prix stands are assembled and ready for the race this weekend &#8211; which means that the French Riviera is fully up and running for the high season!
