Make the best of your 8 Day Yacht Charter South of France with our Cannes to Cannes yacht charter itinerary.

Day 1

Cannes

Your charter starts in the glorious Cannes, a glamourous seaside town that has become a haven for those looking to escape in unrivalled luxury. Like Monaco, Cannes has been famed as a playground for millionaires since the 1950’s, and also for hosting the glittering film festival in May every year. Enjoy an early lunch at La Palme D’Or before stepping on board your charter yacht, where you will be introduced to your dedicated crew who offer a 6-star service.

Day 2

Iles de Lérins

Cruise on to Sainte-Marguerite, the largest of the Lerins islands. The easiest method to explore the island is to follow the defined trails, which will take you on a botanical and historical tour of the area. You will walk from the Batéguier pond, home to various migrating bird species, to the Point de la Convention, where you will find rare plant species. For those keen to learn more of the island’s history, visit the monastery in calm Saint-Honorat. Home to the Cistercian Congregation of the Immaculate Conception for 16 centuries, the monastery has stunning architecture and a real historical ambience.

Day 3

Theoule-sur-Mer

Sheltered in a small cove on the Esterel coast, Theoule sur Mer is a picturesque seaside town with everything to enchant you. Turquoise waters kiss its sandy beaches, palm trees throw welcoming shade on the numerous inlets and calanques in the red rock of the Esterel. Take the tender into a charming little marina, with its mini lighthouse and superb castle built from red stone called the “château des mineurs”. The year-round mild climate, abundance of vegetation and diversity of landscapes between the Mediterranean and the Estérel makes Theoule Sur Mer a popular stop on any yacht charter.

Day 4

Porquerolles

An unspoilt paradise of golden sand beaches, eucalyptus and pine forests, Porquerolles has often been described as the last frontier of the French Riviera. This small island feels worlds away from the previous destinations on your route, despite lying just a few nautical miles south of the iconic coastline. Its lack of development, natural beauty and dreamy tranquillity captivate all who visit. Along the Northern coast, there are twenty beautiful and almost entirely deserted beaches, the ideal places for a peaceful afternoon with a beach picnic, swimming and water sports.

Day 5

St Tropez

Brought into the spotlight by Brigitte Bardot in the 1950’s in the movie Et Dieu Crea la Femme (And God Created Woman – 1956), St Tropez has, since then, been transformed into a hedonistic haven of glamour and elegance, without losing its charm as a Mediterranean fishing village. This iconic destination is brimming with exclusive restaurants and bars, designer boutiques and pastel-coloured houses. For those wanting a more tranquil afternoon, stroll along the cobbled lanes in the old fishing village quarter of La Ponche or take a long walk from beach to beach via the coastal path.

Day 6

Cap d'Antibes

From St Tropez, head along the coastline to the Cap d’Antibes where the adventurous can take the Sentier Tirepoil trail. This well-traveled road winds along 50-foot cliffs with breathtaking sea vistas. Explore Villa Eilenroc on the peninsula of Cap d’Antibes, an exquisite home which exemplifies the elegance and voluptuousness of the Belle Epoque. Admire the 1867 architecture of Charles Garnier, who erected the Paris and Monte Carlo opera houses, before a stroll around its park, home to a myriad of indigenous plant species found throughout the Mediterranean.

Day 7

Monaco

Next up is Monaco, the world’s second-smallest country located on the French Riviera. What Monaco lacks in size, it certainly makes up for in attitude, status and glamour. Acting as a magnet for the rich and famous since the early 20th Century, this hedonistic paradise is lined with world-class restaurants, extraordinarily luxurious hotels and, of course, superyachts. It is nearly entirely made up of pedestrian alleys and tunnels, where residences from the previous century may still be found. You can visit the Prince’s Monaco Palace and watch the “Carabiniers” perform the changing of the guard ceremonial daily at 11:55 a.m.

Day 8

Cannes

End your luxury yacht charter as it started, in the stunning seaside town of Cannes. Enjoy a luxurious morning on board, making the most of your yacht’s amenities or take out a water toy for the final time. As the time comes to say goodbye to your crew, head to shore in the tender and explore one of Cannes’ plethora of Michelin-starred restaurants. As you get ready to leave this delightful part of the French Riviera, reminisce with your charter party on the magnificent memories you have made in the last week; we are sure you will return again soon.
