BLUE MOON | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

As BLUE MOON traces the shoreline of the French Riviera, Captain Muntaser Samman stands at the heart of your experience, combining a strong navigational background from commercial shipping with over six years in yachting to deliver a safe and memorable charter. His leadership is complemented by First Officer Anton Kiriatskiy, whose merchant fleet training and luxury hospitality experience blend operational rigour with guest awareness, and by Chief Engineer Oleksandr Babin, a Master's graduate and EOOW-certified engineer who keeps a close eye on engines and generators. Deckhand Alex Bakker brings hands-on technical skills and a professional sporting background to tender handling and water activities, giving you confidence every time you step off the swim platform.

Gastronomy on BLUE MOON is entrusted to Chef Robert Fernandez, who has honed his craft in high-end hotels, Michelin-level kitchens, and private chef roles before joining the yachting world. He works with you to design menus that match your preferences and your itinerary, whether you prefer light Riviera cuisine, rich tasting menus, or a mix of Mediterranean, French, and Latin influences, all presented with fine-dining attention to detail. On the interior side, Chief Stewardess Inna Salnikopva and Stewardess Kateryna Balashova create an atmosphere of discreet luxury, drawing on experience from large yachts and cruise ships to perfect everything from floral arrangements and table settings to housekeeping and bar service.

As you move between Cannes, Nice, Antibes, and beyond, this eight-person crew ensures that each day feels perfectly paced and seamlessly managed. The officers keep navigation smooth and safe, Oleksandr anticipates technical needs before they arise, and Alex supports every active moment on deck, while Inna and Kateryna maintain a calm, welcoming interior, and Robert keeps the galley at the centre of onboard life. Together, they transform BLUE MOON into a secure, stylish, and deeply comfortable home as you experience the best of the French Riviera.

7-Day Sample Motor Yacht Charter Itinerary in the French Riviera:
As you step aboard the Admiral 44m luxury crewed motor yacht BLUE MOON in Cannes, your 7-day exclusive French Riviera yachting itinerary begins against a backdrop of superyachts, palm-lined promenades, and open sea. The week ahead can be as active or relaxed as you wish, blending mornings on the water with afternoons anchored off legendary bays and evenings spent people-watching from waterfront terraces. Whether you imagine jet skis carving through the wake, long, languid sunbathing sessions, or curated tasting menus in Riviera hotspots, the Boatbookings team partners with your crew to craft an itinerary where each stop has a purpose and every day feels thoughtfully paced.

For future escapes, BLUE MOON is also offered for charters in Corsica and Marseille along the Provence Coast year-round, inviting you to trade the Côte d’Azur skyline for rugged islands and colourful harbours while still enjoying the same level of comfort and service onboard.

Overview:
Out on the French Riviera, BLUE MOON cuts a striking figure, her stunning turquoise Admiral 44m hull mirroring the color of the sea she crosses so smoothly. She has been crafted for stability and comfort along the Azure Coast, ensuring that long passages feel relaxed and unhurried. Within this elegant framework, her world-class amenities come together to create a lifestyle on the water that blends sociable spaces, peaceful corners, and thoughtful details designed to elevate every moment of your charter.

As the first light brushes the horizon, the spacious foredeck sunbathing area becomes your personal viewing platform, where you can stretch out and watch the sea awaken. When it is time to rejoin the hum of the coast, the expansive sundeck offers a commanding vantage point over Cannes, with the town’s iconic charm spread out in front of you. Soft seating in the lounging and dining area invites long conversations over a fine bottle of Bordeaux as yachts glide in and out of the harbor. Multiple sunbathing options throughout the yacht mean you can always find your perfect spot, and the jacuzzi provides a cool escape from the sun, especially when enjoyed with a refreshing Mojito.

Closer to the water, BLUE MOON’s chic beach club redefines what it means to be at anchor along the Riviera. Sun beds set the scene for slow, relaxed moments before you slip into the clear sea to swim among flashes of marine color. After your swim, the rhythm shifts to the sky deck, where your crew sets up an enticing alfresco dining experience. As the yacht rests near the colorful canals of Port Grimaud, you can dive into local gourmet dishes while watching the waterfront lights reflect on the water around you.

Stepping inside, you find that BLUE MOON’s interior design pairs modern and contemporary styling with the warmth of teak to create a refined yet inviting atmosphere. Large glass windows surround the saloon, formal dining area, and galley, bringing in generous amounts of natural light and keeping the French Riviera just beyond the glass. When the day winds down, the sumptuous cabins stand ready with private en-suites, offering each guest a quiet retreat. The master cabin takes this experience further with a king bed, relaxing lounge, walk-in closet, marble en-suite bathroom, and a retractable balcony that turns sea views into a private, open-air sanctuary.

As your time on board draws to an end, you can choose to immerse yourself in the legendary nightlife of St. Tropez, stepping from tender to town in a matter of moments. Or you can savour a final session with BLUE MOON’s impressive water toys, enjoying one last rush of energy above and below the waves before you say goodbye to the Riviera and the yacht that framed your journey so perfectly.
