EMERALD | Luxury Motor Yacht

The French Riviera asks for a crew that can match its pace, polish, and high expectations, and EMERALD delivers exactly that. Captain Mark Horsnail leads the team with the confidence of someone who has lived and worked in the Mediterranean for over 32 years, giving guests the benefit of deep regional knowledge and steady leadership throughout the charter. Supporting him are First Officer Alex Mannion, Chief Engineer Harris Kokkotas, and Engineer Cameron Swan, whose combined experience across large vessels, charters, engineering operations, and seamanship ensures the yacht runs safely and smoothly at all times. For guests, that means less time thinking about logistics and more time simply enjoying the French Riviera as it unfolds around them.

In the galley, Chef Manos Anagnostopoulos turns each day into something deliciously memorable. His background in five-star restaurants, family-run catering, and over a decade of yacht cooking has given him an instinct for what guests want at sea, food that feels fresh, generous, and perfectly timed to the day’s mood. Mediterranean cuisine sits at the core of his style, though he enjoys weaving in Asian influences to keep menus exciting and varied. That balance gives dining on EMERALD a sense of anticipation, whether guests are sitting down to a bright lunch in the sun or a more intimate dinner while the lights of the French Riviera begin to glow.

Rounding out the onboard experience, Chief Stewardess Stephanie Olckers leads with a natural host’s warmth and a strong sense of refinement, while Lead Deckhand Matthew Mark Daley, Deckhand McKenzie Henderson, and Deckhand Michael Dorrington help shape the guest experience beyond the interior. Stephanie’s time in luxury service and guest-facing roles means she understands how to make every detail feel intentional, while Matthew brings calm leadership on deck, McKenzie brings practical support and reliability, and Michael adds a polished hospitality mindset that guests can feel right away. Together, they create a charter environment where fun feels effortless, service feels thoughtful, and every day on EMERALD feels beautifully put together.

7-Day Sample Motor Yacht Charter Itinerary in the French Riviera:
There is something undeniably exciting about beginning your French Riviera escape aboard the magnificent Feadship 50m luxury crewed motor yacht EMERALD in Cannes. The moment you step aboard, your exclusive seven-day French Riviera crewed motor yacht itinerary feels less like a travel plan and more like a lifestyle shift toward warm sea air, polished coastal scenes, and complete freedom in how you spend each day. From glamorous stretches of the South of France to quieter corners reached only from the water, the itinerary flows with the kind of variety that keeps the whole week feeling fresh. EMERALD provides the perfect setting to enjoy that rhythm in full comfort.

Perhaps your dream charter includes exhilarating time on the water, long sun-soaked afternoons, and a dining experience that becomes part of the memory as much as the coastline itself. Or perhaps it is the balance of all those pleasures that makes the week feel complete. With the support of the Boatbookings Team, working closely alongside your expert crew, every detail is shaped around your interests and priorities. Their local knowledge and thoughtful planning help ensure the journey feels smooth, elevated, and truly tailored, allowing you to enjoy the South of France in a way that feels both personal and effortless.

EMERALD’s summer cruising does not stop there, as she is also available for charters along the breathtaking shores of Italy. Sardinia, the Italian Riviera, Sicily, and the Aeolian Islands all add another layer of possibility for guests who want to continue their Mediterranean time onboard. Each of these destinations offers its own distinct charm, creating even more opportunities for unforgettable days at sea. With EMERALD, one beautiful itinerary can easily lead to another.

Overview:
The Feadship 50m luxury motor yacht EMERALD brings a fresh, contemporary edge to the French Riviera, offering a charter experience that feels both polished and deeply enjoyable from the outset. Her exterior styling blends innovation with elegance in a way that feels effortlessly suited to this coastline, where modern glamour and old-world atmosphere meet on the water every day. Step aboard, and the mood immediately shifts, with every amenity arranged to support social living, comfort, and time well spent at sea. She is built for guests who want their charter to feel rewarding in every sense of the word.

Days naturally gather around her exterior spaces, beginning with the sprawling sun deck and its far-reaching views over Cannes. It is a setting made for reclining into plush lounge seating, sipping Bordeaux, and enjoying the kind of relaxed conversation that seems to come more easily out here. The bubbling jacuzzi, inviting sun beds, stylish dining space, and mini bar ensure the deck never loses its appeal, whether the afternoon is quiet or more social. Guests who want as much sun as possible will appreciate that both the sun deck and the open foredeck provide generous bronzing areas where the Mediterranean warmth can be enjoyed from morning onward.

Come mealtime, the aft sky deck becomes one of the most atmospheric places onboard, especially when EMERALD is anchored near the lively edges of Port Grimaud. Here, alfresco lunches and dinners take on a stronger sense of place, especially with regional dishes such as Bouillabaisse and Boeuf Bourguignon served against the backdrop of canals and colorful facades. The same deck offers a completely different mood in the morning, when breakfast is enjoyed with the horizon opening up in front of you and the day still full of possibility. For guests who prefer a break from direct sun, shaded dining provides the same comfort and atmosphere in a cooler setting.

Inside, EMERALD feels open, bright, and beautifully composed, with sleek modern lines softened by sophisticated contemporary décor. Expansive glass windows wrap the main saloon and sky deck in natural light, giving every indoor space a radiant and inviting atmosphere throughout the day. The design works especially well after long hours outside, offering a smooth transition into quieter moments without losing any connection to the sea. Her five opulent cabins, arranged as three generous doubles and two twins, each feature luxurious marble-accented ensuite bathrooms that create a restful and private retreat after the day’s activity.

When evening arrives, and guests want one final taste of Riviera excitement, EMERALD makes it easy to continue the experience. The tender can take you into St. Tropez for its nightlife, energy, and sparkling waterfront scene, or you can remain onboard and make the most of the yacht’s impressive array of water toys. Both options keep the charter feeling alive right through the last hours. That ability to end on your own terms is part of what makes time aboard EMERALD feel so well spent.

Water Toys:
The use of all personal watercraft, including jet skis, is permitted only if the operator holds the appropriate license and complies with local operating regulations. In the Mediterranean, we recommend that all guests interested in obtaining an RYA Personal Water Craft (PWC) license use the water toys onboard safely.
