Your itinerary for a private cruise along the French Riviera
9:00 AM: A VIP welcome at your favorite port
Your adventure begins wherever you choose. While our historic home port is Beaulieu-sur-Mer, your private crew will accommodate your needs and pick you up directly at the docks in Monaco, Nice, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, or Villefranche-sur-Mer.
Once you’re comfortably settled on the deck chairs, the captain casts off. The sounds of the harbor fade away, the sails fill with wind, and the French Riviera coastline unfolds before you from a completely new perspective.
10:30 a.m.: Exclusive coastal cruising and swimming
We’ll head to the most beautiful spots along the coast between Nice and Monaco. Depending on the weather and your preferences, the captain will drop anchor in a sheltered cove or off a beach with crystal-clear waters.
Now is the time to enjoy the recreational facilities available on board:
+Explore the rocks and sea caves by stand-up paddleboard
+Go snorkeling among the local marine life
+Just relax in the turquoise water before enjoying an aperitif served on deck
Culinary Innovations: The Art of Fine Dining on Board
1:00 p.m.: The highlight of the show: the day’s fresh catch
Since the sea air whets the appetite, fine dining is a top priority on board this season. Forget about impromptu picnics.
3:30 p.m.: Relaxing and taking a nap to the sound of lapping wavesIf you’ve chosen our exclusive “Local Catch of the Day” option, your crew will head to the galley. The fish, selected that very morning at the dock from fishermen in Beaulieu, St Jean-Cap-Ferrat, or Villefranche-sur-Mer—or delivered directly to the boat depending on the night’s catch—is prepared right before your eyes. Enhanced with a drizzle of olive oil and herbes de Provence, it is best enjoyed with a rosé from Provence or the hills of Nice, showcasing the flavors of the French Riviera.
15h30 : Farniente et sieste bercée par le clapotis
After coffee, the boat resumes its leisurely cruise along Cap-Ferrat or the Baie des Anges. Sailing enthusiasts can help the skipper with the maneuvers, while the other passengers enjoy a well-deserved nap on deck, lulled by the rhythm of the waves. The return to port at 5 p.m. leaves you longing to set sail again very soon.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions About Our Day Aboard
Q1: Is it possible to change the itinerary during the day?
A: Absolutely! That’s the whole point of a fully crewed private charter. The captain will finalize the itinerary with you at the start of the trip and can adjust the stops at sea based on your preferences and the sailing conditions dictated by the weather.
Q2: How does the “fresh local catch” option work?
A: To ensure absolute freshness, we use a direct-to-consumer model. We pick up the fish straight from the boat or directly from the dock that very morning from local fishermen. The crew then prepares it on board in time for lunch.
Q3: Where can a boat depart from on the French Riviera?
A: Our home port is Beaulieu-sur-Mer. However, for your convenience, we offer personalized boarding and disembarkation services in Monaco, Nice, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, and Villefranche-sur-Mer.
