RMF | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

A charter on RMF feels especially rewarding because the people around you know exactly how to make the French Riviera feel effortless. Captain Mark Rushton leads with the kind of steady presence only decades at sea can bring, and Captain Lee Schaffer complements that with strong technical knowledge, meticulous standards, and a highly capable command style. Supporting them are First Officer Andrew Ferguson, Chief Engineers Dario Jelovic and Veljeko Nedic, and Engineer Graydon Geel, each bringing experience that directly shapes the guest experience in meaningful ways. Andrew’s years as a lifeguard, Mark’s long service with the Yarmouth Isle of Wight Lifeboat, and the engineering team’s deep knowledge of yachts and operations all translate into something every guest values: peace of mind, comfort underway, and the confidence to enjoy the Riviera to the fullest.

When the sun is high and the coastline is at its most inviting, Chef Andrea Vercelli ensures the dining experience keeps pace beautifully. His 25-year culinary journey, from hospitality training in Italy to Michelin-starred kitchens in London and later luxury yachting, gives him the range to create meals that feel both polished and deeply enjoyable. Each menu becomes part of the day’s pleasure, whether you want something fresh and light between swims or a more indulgent dinner with the lights of the French Riviera in view. Andrea’s food brings people together in the best way, making every meal feel relaxed, generous, and memorable.

Inside the yacht, Chief Stewardess Júlia Bastos leads with warmth and energy that quickly set guests at ease, while Stewardesses Linnea Löfstedt and Ariella Baitz bring their own thoughtful style to service. Júlia’s ability to create special moments, Linnea’s precision and care, and Ariella’s friendly, sincere nature work beautifully together to make the interior feel polished without ever feeling stiff. Outside, Chase Boat Captain Feruccio Mužic, Deckhands Lubos Kimler, and Joseph Finning add another dimension to the charter through smooth shore transfers, water sports support, and a deck operation that feels organized and guest-focused. It all comes together in a way that lets you enjoy the French Riviera with complete confidence and real anticipation for each day ahead.

7-Day Sample Motor Yacht Charter Itinerary in the French Riviera:
A departure from Cannes aboard the Sanlorenzo 52Steel luxury crewed motor yacht RMF sets the tone for a French Riviera charter filled with atmosphere, freedom, and indulgence. This iconic stretch of coastline feels especially alive from the water, where beach clubs, elegant promenades, and sparkling anchorages create a setting that feels both vibrant and deeply relaxing. From the very start, your bespoke French Riviera yacht charter becomes less about following a route and more about living each day exactly as you want.

You may picture mornings of action on the water, afternoons spent stretched out beneath the sun, and evenings built around beautifully prepared dining with the coastline glowing in the distance. Or perhaps your ideal itinerary blends all of that with leisurely cruising and spontaneous stops along the South of France. However you want the days to feel, the experienced Boatbookings Team collaborates with your crew to shape every detail around your tastes, making the journey feel seamless, personal, and wonderfully easy to enjoy.

The experience does not stop with the French Riviera alone, as RMF also cruises the Italian Riviera, the Amalfi Coast, Sicily, and the Aeolian Islands. That wider range gives guests the chance to pair the glamour of the South of France with the drama and warmth of Italy’s most celebrated shores. With RMF, one remarkable yacht opens the way to several unforgettable Mediterranean escapes.

Overview:
RMF makes her presence felt immediately on the French Riviera, not through excess, but through confidence, balance, and a design that understands this lifestyle well. The Sanlorenzo 52Steel luxury motor yacht pairs sleek contemporary styling with a layout made for days that flow naturally from one pleasure to the next. Guests step aboard and quickly sense that this is a yacht meant for social living, personal comfort, and long hours spent close to the sea. It is the kind of setting that encourages people to settle in quickly and enjoy the coast at their own pace.

Across her exterior decks, RMF offers a series of spaces that each shape the day differently while keeping the Riviera in constant view. The semi-covered sun deck is one of the standout places to unwind, with wide views over Cannes' iconic port, plush loungers, a full-service bar, and music that gives the whole area an easy, stylish energy. On the main aft deck, the atmosphere centers around a massive lounge and sunbathing area arranged around an infinity pool, making it a natural place for guests to gather between swims and drinks. The sky deck brings a more elegant mood at mealtime, especially when French dishes are served with Port Grimaud nearby, while the foredeck lounge near the bow turns breakfast into a slower, more scenic start to the morning.

The beach club introduces a more intimate connection to the sea and gives guests another reason to linger outdoors. It has a relaxed, well-appointed lounge that feels especially appealing after a swim, as well as a shower that adds comfort and convenience between activities. From here, the pool above comes into view, adding an architectural detail that makes the whole area feel open and visually engaging. Once the retractable extended platform is in place, the beach club becomes even more inviting, creating a smooth and direct connection to the water that fits the Riviera setting beautifully.

Inside, RMF brings together modern style and contemporary Italian craftsmanship in a way that feels bright without feeling cold. Panoramic glass windows draw daylight into the main saloon, indoor dining area, and galley, keeping the interiors open and airy throughout the day. The sky lounge adds another refined space for conversation or a quieter evening onboard, giving the yacht a strong interior flow from day into night. When guests are ready to recharge, the spacious cabins and private marble-accented bathrooms provide a calm, comfortable finish that makes returning indoors feel just as rewarding as being outside.

When it comes time to wrap up the charter, RMF offers more than one way to make the last evening count. You might step aboard the chase boat and head into St. Tropez for waterfront nightlife and one final taste of Riviera energy, or stay on the yacht and enjoy the water toys for another round of action on and beneath the surface. However you choose to spend those final hours, RMF ensures the experience closes with the same polish and excitement that defined it from the start.

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.
