ST DAVID | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

ST DAVID’s French Riviera charters are shaped by a crew whose experience spans every aspect of superyacht operation. Captain Andrew Douglas leads with a calm, methodical approach, supported by First Officer Joshua Martin and Second Officer Frans-Hugo Smit, ensuring guests enjoy smooth passages and well-planned itineraries. A robust engineering team, including Chief Engineers Varban Varbanov and Rosen Zlatinov, alongside Engineers Stanislav Georgiev and Svetoslav Lyubenov, works continuously behind the scenes to maintain safety, efficiency, and comfort.

On the culinary front, Head Chef Alain Mahiout and Chef Dan Owens collaborate to deliver refined cuisine that reflects both classic technique and modern flair. Meals are designed to be savored slowly, whether enjoyed as relaxed lunches or elegant evening dinners overlooking the Riviera coastline.

Guest experience is elevated by Chief Stewardess Adela Lupikova, whose leadership ensures a polished yet welcoming atmosphere. Stewardesses Mienke Olde-Olthof, Brady Snodey, and Emmerentia Harmse provide attentive service throughout the day, while Jenna Brotherton offers wellness treatments. Deckhands Kyle van Zyl, Brad Taylor, and Alec Smit support water activities and on-deck experiences with professionalism and care.

Overview:
The experience aboard ST DAVID begins with an immediate sense of scale and refinement, setting her apart among yachts cruising the French Riviera. Built as a Benetti 60m, this luxury motor yacht combines a strong exterior profile with carefully designed spaces that encourage both connection and privacy. This balance creates a charter environment that feels composed, welcoming, and effortless from the moment guests step onboard.

Deck life is shaped by choice and perspective. From the sundeck, panoramic views of Cannes provide a constant backdrop as guests move between lounging areas, the bar, and the jacuzzi. Sun beds positioned on the sundeck aft and foredeck offer flexible options throughout the day, while the sky deck dining area hosts elegant meals prepared by the crew. Anchored near Port Grimaud, evenings unfold with regional dishes and relaxed conversation, followed by quiet breakfasts enjoyed at the bow under soft morning light.

Below deck, the interior atmosphere shifts to understated comfort, where modern and contemporary styling is enhanced by extensive glass throughout the saloon, dining area, and galley. Each cabin provides a private bathroom and generous space to unwind, with the two-level master suite offering a distinct sense of retreat through its king bed, lounge, office, and bathtub-equipped bathroom.

As nights approach, guests may choose to head ashore by tender to discover the celebrated nightlife of St. Tropez or remain onboard, extending the day with water toys and relaxed time at anchor.

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.
