The French Riviera is a stunning place to explore, particularly on one of our luxury crewed sailing yachts. This beautiful region of France provides the perfect combination of sophisticated yet bustling cities such as Cannes, Monaco and Nice, as well as quaint and peaceful seaside villages and islands like Villefranche and Porquerolles. A crewed sailing yacht will enable you to discover the Côte d'Azur with ease, with an experienced crew to help you at every stage, enabling you to have an authentic sailing experience that you'll never forget!

Day 1: Monaco to Villefranche

Monaco - Luxury Crewed Sailling Yacht Itinierary

Arrive in Monaco and take a look around the Palais Princier de Monaco (The Prince of Monaco's Palace) and admire the panoramic views of the coastline, before heading down to the port to meet the fantastic crew that you will be spending the next week with and get comfortable onboard your luxury sailing yacht come early evening.

Your first stop will be St Jean Cap Ferrat, an idyllic seaside town that is the perfect place to spend the evening and relax. If you are feeling active, there is a lovely stone path that allows you to hike the entire 'Cap' by the sea, or if you are in need of complete relaxation why not visit Paloma Beach, a wonderful beach club that is the stomping ground of VIPs and celebrities alike. This is a great place to practice some watersports in the bay, and admire the spectacular views of Beaulieu, Cap d'Ail and the cliffs at Eze. In the evening make your way over to Villefranche, and enjoy a delicious meal in the harbour as you watch the sunset.

Day 2: Villefranche to Cannes

On the morning of your second day, explore the picturesque winding streets of Villefranche and enjoy a coffee and a croissant in one of the many traditional cafés. Then sail around to the Cap d'Antibes, where you can set up anchor and explore the beautiful rock pools and coral reefs, before heading over to Iles de Lerins. The two main islands, Île Ste-Marguerite and Île St-Honorat, are a chance to escape the lively and bustling towns of the French Riviera for the afternoon and enjoy complete tranquility, as there are no hotels on the islands and only a few select restaurants. A must is to try the local wines produced on the islands by the monks on St-Honorat; alternatively, the bustling chic Guerite Restaurante on Ste-Marguerite will provide you with a delicious meal overlooking Cannes. In the evening, head over to Cannes to experience this beautiful town that comes alive at night. Enjoy a delicious seafood meal in one of the numerous Michelin Star restaurants by the old port, watch the sun go down from the top of the sky lounge at the Radisson Blu and then make the most of the night life - visit Baôli or Gotha and dance the night away!  

Day 3: Cannes to St Tropez

On Day 3, you can sail down the coastline to the famous town of St Tropez. On your way, stop at some of the charming seaside villages that line the coast such as Mandelieu-la-Napoule and Théoule-sur-mer, where you can make the most of your on board water toys and try out jet skiing or waterskiing in the open and quieter bays. Then cruise over to St Tropez - where you can wander around the winding streets and enjoy a cocktail in one the many cafés in the Place des Lices. Enjoy lunch at Club 55; basking in the sun, sipping sundowners and nibbling on delicious snacks, relish the sophisticated and modern vibe. Step into the shade for an afternoon discovering the boutiques where you can find one of a kind items.

Day 4: St Tropez to Île du Lévant & Port-Cros

Today you can set sail down to Île du Levant & Port-Cros, which are both part of the Île d'Hyères archipelago. On Île du Levant you can take a lovely nature trail from the Place du Village that leads to the Domaine des Arbousiers, a nature reservation in the eastern part of the island that is home to many rare plants. Then if you feel like bareing all, why not take a trip to one of the island's many nudist beaches! Île de Port-Cros really is the epitome of untouched natural beauty, with only a few bistros in the port and sweet olive groves and vineyards adorning the islands hillsides, it really is something to behold. Take a picnic for the day and explore the island either by land or sea. Then in the evening cruise over to the Porquerolles islands and enjoy an al fresco dinner watching the sun go down over the beautifully still waters. 
 

Day 5: Îles de Porquerolles to Cassis & Parc National des Calanques

On the morning of Day 5, make the most of your time on Porquerolles and relax on the white sand beaches that are lined with brilliant-turquoise waters and pine trees, maquis and eucalyptus, and home to 114 bird species.  Even though you won't want to leave this peaceful paradise, later start your journey up towards another spectacular area of the Riviera, Cassis and Les Calanques, which are the pride and joy of the Marseillais who frequently visit the national park throughout the summer. Les Calanques are a series of rocky peninsulas that are covered in natural flora and fauna and boast some beautiful white beaches, some of which are only accessible by kayak!
