INDIGO | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

Riviera days feel beautifully handled aboard INDIGO thanks to a 12-member crew led by Captain James Harbord, whose friendly leadership and more than 25 years in the superyacht industry help guests feel at ease from the moment they arrive. His qualifications in navigation, maritime communication, safety, and medical care give reassuring depth to every French Riviera charter, while his natural approachability creates an atmosphere that is relaxed, polished, and guest-focused. With First Officer James Houlgrave, Chief Engineer John Knight, Engineer Jack Dorothy, Bosun Kevin Massue, Deckhand Kian Carstens, Deckhand Maya Van Zyl, and Chase Boat Captain Julen Rojo Roos by his side, every cruising day is supported by experience and teamwork.

As INDIGO moves between the French Riviera’s glamorous ports and blue-water anchorages, the crew helps each day unfold with seamless ease. John Knight and Jack Dorothy support the yacht’s comfort and reliability, while Kevin Massue, Kian Carstens, Maya Van Zyl, and Julen Rojo Roos prepare the deck, water access, and chase boat experience so guests can move naturally between swimming, relaxing, and exploring ashore. The feeling on board is simple: everything is ready before you need to ask.

The pleasure continues around the table with Chef Jonathon Irwin, who brings guests together through onboard dining shaped to suit the charter mood, from relaxed lunches to more elegant evenings on the Côte d’Azur. Chief Stewardess Edward Cambridge leads the interior team with Stewardesses Alex Scott and Lauren Fowlds, creating a warm and polished setting where service feels attentive without interrupting the flow of the day. With this crew in place, INDIGO offers a French Riviera yacht charter that feels secure, joyful, and effortlessly personal.

7-Day Sample Motor Yacht Charter Itinerary in the French Riviera:
A splash of INDIGO blue cuts through the glamour of Cannes, setting the tone for a 7-day exclusive French Riviera yachting itinerary aboard this Benetti B.Now 50 luxury crewed motor yacht. One moment, you are watching the Croisette fade behind the wake; the next, you are slipping into a cove where the water turns glassy, the deck fills with laughter, and the Côte d’Azur starts showing off.

Riviera days aboard INDIGO are made for guests who want variety without the rush: cannonball into clear water before lunch, stretch out under the sun when the coast turns gold, then head ashore for a tasting, a table by the sea, or a late-night wander through a harbor lit like a film set. The Boatbookings team will work with your crew to shape a luxury yacht charter that moves with your mood, from water adventures to gastronomic tours and sun-seeking afternoons along the azure coast.

Italy adds another delicious twist to INDIGO’s charter story, with the Amalfi Coast, Sardinia, and Sicily all within her Mediterranean summer reach. Trade Riviera sparkle for cliffside drama, island-blue anchorages, and evenings where the shoreline glows, the air softens, and no one is in a hurry to go inside.

Overview:
A Riviera charter aboard INDIGO feels like opening the color wheel to its richest blue, with the Benetti B.Now 50 luxury crewed motor yacht bringing contemporary comfort and timeless Italian craftsmanship to the Côte d’Azur. Built by the renowned Benetti shipyard, her sleek white profile is designed for effortless cruising from Cannes toward exclusive French Riviera anchorages where privacy, sea air, and shared time come naturally. Welcoming up to 12 guests, INDIGO is perfectly matched to families and groups of friends seeking a luxury yacht charter with space to relax, celebrate, and enjoy life at sea without hurry.

The best seats on the Riviera are found across INDIGO’s decks, from the shaded lounge made for easy conversations to the alfresco dining area where Cannes glows during cocktail hour. When the evening breeze arrives, the sky deck aft becomes a beautiful setting for local and international cuisine prepared by the onboard chefs while anchored near the canals and pastel waterfront of Port Grimaud. The massive main aft deck brings guests closer to the water, with a lounge, bar, infinity pool, and sunbathing platforms forming a social playground for relaxed gatherings, sunlit afternoons, and animated days at anchor.

Interiors aboard INDIGO feel polished yet welcoming, with refined glass accents, ambient lighting, and expansive windows creating a warm contemporary atmosphere throughout the main saloon and sky lounge. The main saloon's dining area is made for special celebrations on board, while the main lounge gives families a relaxed retreat after a day full of adventures. Her cabins, each with private bathroom facilities, offer restful privacy for every guest, while the master cabin features a king bed, a dedicated lounge beside the king bed, and a marble ensuite bathroom with its own blue glass bathtub.

The closing notes of a French Riviera day can be as bold or as relaxed as you wish aboard INDIGO. Make for the electric nightlife of St. Tropez, or let the yacht become the evening’s main event with her impressive collection of tenders and water toys above and below the surface. Supported by modern engineering for smooth, comfortable cruising along the Côte d’Azur, INDIGO carries the whole Riviera mood with her, bright, social, and beautifully alive.
