UPSTREAM | Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht

On UPSTREAM, the French Riviera feels both exhilarating and beautifully controlled, thanks to Captain Renaud Navarro’s steady leadership and strong safety culture. Raised between Marseille and Toulon, he knows the Mediterranean instinctively, and his experience includes over 12 years of professional sailing across multiple regions worldwide. As a certified diving instructor with PADI and French qualifications and now in his fourth season as Captain of UPSTREAM, he brings an expert eye to coastal conditions, anchor choices, and itinerary flow. With First Officer Michael Hernandez and Chief Stewardess Delphine Schikel supporting him, you can fully relax knowing every detail is managed by a tightly coordinated team.

Delphine Schikel keeps the interior experience refined and effortless, combining high-end hospitality standards with calm, hands-on leadership. Her background on yachts up to 45 meters shows in the way service feels structured and seamless without ever feeling formal or intrusive. Stewardess Océane Mario, joining for her third season aboard UPSTREAM, adds consistency and warmth, supported by CFBS certification, a Coastal Skipper License, and a personal onboard CQP. Together, they create a welcoming onboard routine that makes the French Riviera feel like your private coast.

Chef Géraldine Rogue turns your days into a sequence of dining experiences tailored to your preferences, backed by over 20 years of culinary work that spans Michelin-starred restaurants, luxury yachts, and private villas. Expect refined Mediterranean and French cuisine alongside international influences, served with a sense of timing that matches the scenery outside. First Officer Michael Hernandez, certified Captain 200 and Engineer 750 kW, keeps everything running smoothly and safely, and he enjoys introducing guests to water activities with a disciplined, reassuring approach. You will leave UPSTREAM with vivid Riviera memories and a strong sense that the crew made it all feel easy.

7-Day Sample Motor Yacht Charter Itinerary in the French Riviera:
The French Riviera has a way of turning ordinary days into something brighter, and UPSTREAM is your elegant way into it from Cogolin. Set out on a seven-day French Riviera yachting itinerary aboard this Ferretti Custom Line Navetta 33 luxury crewed motor yacht, cruising past legendary coastlines dotted with superyachts and slipping into quiet coves for swims in crystalline waters. Step ashore in chic towns where art, food, and style set the tone, then choose the pace that suits you, whether you want water sports, sun-drenched relaxation, or gourmet tastings in Michelin-starred restaurants. With the Boatbookings team and your crew tailoring the details, the week feels designed around you, not a fixed schedule.

And if you are already thinking beyond the Riviera, UPSTREAM makes it easy to keep the Western Mediterranean on rotation. She is available year-round in Corsica, the Provence Coast, Sicily, and Sardinia, offering different flavors of the same irresistible lifestyle at sea. You can swap beach clubs for wild bays, trade Riviera buzz for island calm, or chase a completely new culinary scene. It is the kind of flexibility that keeps each return feeling new.

Overview:
UPSTREAM arrives on the French Riviera with a crisp, confident presence, her white exterior clean-lined and contemporary as she glides along the coast. Built on the pedigree of the Ferretti Custom Line Navetta 33, she is engineered for comfortable cruising and an easy onboard flow, so the week feels smooth from the first departure to the final anchorage. Her layout is made for together time without feeling crowded, with upscale amenities for recreation, socializing, and relaxation that keep every guest happily in their element. The result is a charter experience that feels refined, fun, and effortlessly Riviera.

Your days naturally gravitate upward to the flybridge, where the covered lounging area turns into your favorite observation deck as Cannes' new and old ports come into view. Dip into the jacuzzi with a chilled glass of Rosé and let the coastline do the entertaining, then swap to the well-appointed sun beds on the flybridge aft or the foredeck when you want pure sunshine with the open sea behind you. When the light turns golden, your crew sets a sumptuous feast on the sky deck’s alfresco dining area, serving Bouillabaisse, Boeuf Bourguignon, and more while anchored near the colorful Port Grimaud. Start the next morning with breakfast by the bow, watching the horizon brighten as the Riviera wakes up.

Step inside and the atmosphere shifts into cool, modern comfort, with contemporary design touches, glass fixtures, and subtle green accents in pillows, sheets, and decor that add freshness to the space. Large surrounding glass windows wrap the saloon and indoor dining area, letting natural light pour in and giving the interior a radiant feel throughout the day. After swimming and water time, retreat to spacious upscale cabins with private bathrooms, a quiet reset that makes tomorrow feel easy. The master cabin elevates the experience with a king bed and a huge LED TV, perfect for winding down before another Riviera day.

When you are ready to trade calm anchorages for a little sparkle, take the tender and step into the vibrant nightlife of St. Tropez. Or keep the adrenaline going on board with the water toys, enjoying the coastline from above and below the waterline without ever leaving your floating base. UPSTREAM lets you choose the mood each day, and she makes every choice feel like the right one.
