Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a day yacht charter cost on the French Riviera?+
Day yacht charters start from €2,500 per day for a sport boat and range up to €25,000+ per day for a large luxury motor yacht. The price includes captain, crew, insurance, towels, water, and soft drinks. Fuel and catering are additional.
What is the best time for a day charter on the Côte d'Azur?+
The season runs from May to October. July and August offer the warmest water and longest days but are the busiest. June and September provide excellent weather with fewer crowds and more anchorage availability.
How far in advance should I book a day charter?+
We recommend booking 2–4 weeks ahead during peak season (July–August). In shoulder months (May, June, September), last-minute bookings are often possible.
Can children join a day yacht charter?+
Absolutely. Most yachts accommodate families with children of all ages. We provide child-sized life jackets, and our crew is experienced with multi-generational groups.
What destinations can I visit on a day charter?+
Popular routes include Saint-Tropez to Pampelonne Beach, Cannes to the Lérins Islands, Monaco to Cap Ferrat, and Nice to Villefranche-sur-Mer. Your captain can customise the route.
Is catering included in the charter price?+
Basic refreshments (water, soft drinks, towels) are included. Gourmet catering with a private chef, wine, and champagne can be arranged as an add-on — we recommend ordering 48 hours in advance.

People Also Ask

Is a day yacht charter worth it?+
Absolutely. At €500–€1,000 per person for a group, it's comparable to a luxury hotel night but includes a private yacht, captain, crew, hidden beaches, and complete freedom to explore the Côte d'Azur.
What's the best yacht for a day charter?+
For couples, a sport boat (Axopar, Pardo) offers speed and style. For families, a 15–20m motor yacht provides comfort and space. For celebrations, a 25m+ yacht with sundeck and water toys is ideal.
Can I bring my own food on a yacht?+
Most charters allow you to bring your own refreshments. However, we recommend our catering packages for a seamless experience — our chefs source local produce and prepare restaurant-quality meals onboard.
