The French Riviera — the Côte d'Azur — is the birthplace of modern superyacht culture. Stretching from Saint-Tropez to the Italian border, this legendary coastline blends Provençal charm with Monaco glamour, Michelin-starred gastronomy with sun-drenched beaches. Every summer, the world's finest yachts gather here, anchoring off Cap d'Antibes, cruising past the terracotta rooftops of Villefranche-sur-Mer, and berthing in the legendary ports of Cannes and Nice.
Destination Photo
June – August
May & September
Summer (June–August) delivers warm seas, long days, and the full Riviera social calendar including the Cannes Film Festival (May) and Monaco Grand Prix. May and September offer warm weather without peak-season crowds. Be aware of the Mistral — a strong northwest wind that can blow 25–40 knots, most frequent in spring.
The iconic Riviera destination. Anchor in the Baie de Pampelonne for beach club access, or take a berth in the old port for prime people-watching at Sénéquier.
Two tranquil islands just off Cannes. Île Sainte-Marguerite offers shaded walks and the Man in the Iron Mask fort; Île Saint-Honorat has a working monastery producing wines.
A deep, naturally sheltered bay with a charming medieval village cascading to the waterfront. One of the most picturesque anchorages on the entire Mediterranean coast.
The exclusive peninsula between Cannes and Nice, home to the legendary Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc. Anchor off the rocky shore and enjoy some of the Riviera's clearest waters.
The world's most glamorous principality. Secure a berth in Port Hercule for front-row views of the Grand Prix circuit, the Casino, and the Palace.
The Riviera is a gastronomic paradise. From Provençal classics to Michelin-starred haute cuisine, the emphasis is on sun-ripened produce, fresh seafood, and exceptional rosé. Your yacht chef can source from the daily markets in Nice, Antibes, and Saint-Tropez.
The legendary Provençal fish stew made with at least five types of fresh rockfish, saffron, and rouille — traditionally served in two courses.

A world-class modern art museum in Saint-Paul-de-Vence with works by Miró, Giacometti, and Chagall set among pine trees and sculpture gardens.
The world's most prestigious film event transforms the Croisette each May, with yacht parties rivaling the red carpet in glamour.
Formula 1 racing through the streets of Monte Carlo — best viewed from the deck of your yacht moored in Port Hercule.
