CHARTERING YOUR BOAT ON THE CÔTE D'AZUR

Renting allows you to optimize the use of your boat while benefiting from professional management on the Côte d'Azur.

Yacht charter on the Côte d'Azur allows many owners to make profitable their unit, while continuing to enjoy it personally. Cannes, Antibes, Nice and Saint-Tropez are among the busiest dayboat and yacht charter areas in Europe.

Clapi Boats supports boat owners who wish to offer their boats for charter as part of a boat management on the French Riviera. Our team manages reservations, coordinates outings and monitors the boat between charters.

Our goal is simple: to enable owners to generate income while preserving the value and condition of their boat.

Why charter your boat?

Demand for yacht charter on the French Riviera is particularly strong during the summer season, especially in Cannes, Antibes, Nice and Saint-Tropez.

A boat used for only a few weeks a year can represent a significant cost for its owner: berth, upkeep, insurance or maintenance.

Renting allows you to offset some of these costs while still being able to use your boat whenever you want.

How much can you earn renting a boat?

The question of profitability is a recurring theme among owners who are thinking of offering their boat for charter.

On the Côte d'Azur, demand for day boats and yachts is particularly strong during the summer season, but also at major events such as the Cannes Film Festival, the Monaco Grand Prix or the Cannes Lions.

Depending on the type of boat, its position in the market and the frequency of outings, chartering can help cover part of the costs associated with berthing, upkeep and maintenance.

But every boat has its own potential. The model, size, level of equipment, home port and owner's availability directly influence the number of bookings possible in a season.

The aim of a well-managed charter program is not only to generate income, but also to strike a balance between use of the boat, regular maintenance and preservation of its value over time.

Which boats are available for charter?

Most day boats and yachts up to around 20-25 meters can be offered for charter, provided they are well maintained and suitable for charter use.

The most sought-after models tend to be boats offering large outdoor spaces, smooth on-board circulation and comfortable cruising.

  • Day boats between 10 and 15 metres
  • Yachts from 15 to 25 metres
  • Units with large outdoor areas
  • Boats suitable for day trips
