The APA will cover the food, drinks, fuel, and berthing during your travels, and the tip remains at the discretion of the client but is advised anywhere between 10% to 20% of the charter fee to thank the crew for their efforts.

Most yacht charters in Monaco will start in one of the region’s main marinas, such as Monaco’s Port Hercules. A great cruise is from Monaco to St Tropez, passing by Eze, St Jean Cap Ferrat, Antibes and Cannes.

Our charter broker Alex Heyes has cruised from Monaco and the South of France extensively and recommends:

- Spend your day at St. Tropez appreciating the historic architecture surrounding the harbour, and then take some time to relax with a cocktail on the beach while watching the locals go about their day.
- Visit the Promenade de la Croisette while you're in Cannes, the city that hosts the world-famous Film Festival. In addition to that, you shouldn't forget to check out the abundant stores and shopping districts.
- The confined Calanques of Cassis are reachable by vessels of a smaller size, and scuba divers can explore the cliffs.
- A charming old town tucked away along the Côte d'Azur, Villefranche has long been a favourite destination for the most affluent yachtsmen in the world.
