Yacht charter on the Côte d'Azur: from Saint-Tropez to Monaco

Chartering a yacht on the Côte d'Azur lets you discover one of the world's most famous coastlines at your own pace. From Saint-Tropez to Monaco, the coast alternates between discreet coves, unspoilt islands, iconic villages and lively bays, with numerous anchorages within easy reach.

Clapi Boats can accompany you throughout this area, with a selection of yachts suitable for day trips, extended weekends or private events. Each boat has its own detailed fact sheet, with photos and key practical information to help you prepare for your outing.

Why charter a yacht on the Côte d'Azur?

The Côte d'Azur is particularly well-suited to yacht charters thanks to :

• the proximity of anchorages (islands, capes, sheltered bays) from each port;
• the diversity of landscapes, from the red rocks of the Estérel to the Lérins islands and rocky capes;
• easy access to beach restaurants and coastal villages;
• the possibility of organizing family outings as well as more festive days or events.

It's an ideal setting for a first yachting experience, as well as for more regular outings with guests or clients.

What is a typical day at sea like?

A day's yacht charter usually begins with boarding at the chosen port, a welcome by the skipper and a quick safety briefing. After leaving port, the boat heads for the first anchorage for swimming, water sports or a relaxing moment on board.

The day alternates between sailing, sea bathing, lunch on board or at a beach restaurant, and a final stop in the late afternoon before returning to port.
