7-Day French Riviera Luxury Charter - Marseille-Fos to Monaco via Cassis, Cannes, Antibes, Cap Ferrat and Menton
This week is built for travelers who want the French Riviera in its most enjoyable form: short, comfortable passages, constant access to glamorous hotspots, and a yacht experience that feels private and expertly orchestrated rather than busy. It begins at Marseille-Fos Marina, where the embarkation environment reflects modern international standards - efficient access, professional marina operations, and the kind of infrastructure that supports large-scale luxury with calm confidence. From the first moment, the tone is polished: organized boarding, discreet handling, and a refined “arrival” atmosphere that sets you up for a seamless week.
Onboard, the charter is fully crewed and designed around comfort, privacy, and personalization. Your preferences can be structured in advance so the week feels tailored to your group’s style - whether that means relaxed wellness and quiet anchorages, a more social Riviera pace, or a mix of both. A 32-member crew delivers attentive service throughout without intruding on your space, ensuring that dining, deck life, guest movements, and onboard operations remain smooth and carefully coordinated at all times.
About Our Service on the French Mediterranean Coast - Starting Marseille-Fos and Cruising to Monaco with Riviera Highlights Every Day
Day 1 - Marseille-Fos to Cassis and the Calanques After embarkation, the coastline quickly shifts into one of France’s most dramatic landscapes. Anchoring near Cassis places you beneath limestone cliffs and above clear water that invites an easy first swim. This day is intentionally paced as a smooth “settling in” experience: a relaxed lunch onboard, optional kayaking in protected coves, paddleboarding for guests who want a gentle activity, and plenty of time to explore the yacht’s indoor lounges and outdoor decks. Evening dining at anchor feels intimate and cinematic - a quiet start that immediately communicates the charter’s level of calm and refinement.
Day 2 - Cassis to Cannes via the Îles de Lérins The cruise east along the Provençal coast keeps you within constant view of iconic shoreline while maintaining an unhurried rhythm. A stop near the Îles de Lérins is a highlight for clear-water swimming and snorkeling, and it creates the perfect balance between movement and leisure. Cannes arrival in the afternoon brings options: beach clubs, luxury shopping, and a La Croisette stroll for those who want to taste the Riviera’s classic glamour. For guests who prefer privacy, the yacht remains a sanctuary - shaded deck zones, attentive service, and a calm atmosphere away from crowds.
Day 3 - Cannes to Antibes via Juan-les-Pins and Cap d’Antibes This shorter passage is ideal for travelers who want maximum time enjoying the destination rather than spending long hours underway. Antibes offers historic charm, a refined marina scene, and easy access to coastal cafés and local atmosphere. By afternoon, anchoring near Cap d’Antibes creates a perfect Riviera swim setting: clear water, elegant coastline, and a relaxed watersports window supported by the crew. Evening service onboard can feel as social or as quiet as your group prefers, with sunset views that make even a simple dinner feel memorable.
Day 4 - Antibes to Monaco via Nice Cruising toward Monaco is one of the most recognizable Riviera experiences - a coastline lined with famous towns, scenic headlands, and marinas filled with high-end vessels. The yacht’s onboard lifestyle remains central during the passage: guests can enjoy sun deck lounging, wellness-focused downtime, and a calm mid-day meal served exactly when it suits the group. Arrival in Monte Carlo delivers instant glamour. Whether you step ashore for fine dining and nightlife or keep the evening private onboard, Monaco provides a powerful sense of place and prestige.
Day 5 - Monaco to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat (Paloma Beach area) Cap Ferrat is the Riviera’s refined “quiet luxury” corner, and it works perfectly as a reset day. Anchoring near Paloma Beach provides calm water ideal for swimming and paddleboarding, with panoramic coastal views that feel exclusive. Many guests use this day for wellness and rest: long deck lounging, unhurried meals, and quiet conversation in sea-facing lounges. Evening at anchor is special here, with Riviera lights in the distance and the calm sense of being near everything without being inside the rush of it.
Day 6 - Cap Ferrat to Menton (near the Italian border) Menton introduces a softer, more relaxed atmosphere to close the week. The day can be structured around gentle exploration - gardens, seaside cafés, and an easy coastal rhythm - while the yacht continues to offer privacy and refined onboard living. This is an excellent time to enjoy the yacht itself: a longer lunch, a wellness afternoon, and smooth service that keeps the experience calm and elevated. Menton’s position near the border adds a subtle sense of “edge of the Riviera,” giving the week a satisfying progression.
Day 7 - Menton to Monaco and Disembarkation The final morning is designed to end well, not to rush. A last swim stop, a closing brunch onboard, and time to enjoy the yacht’s decks one more time before returning to Monaco. Disembarkation in Monaco completes the week in one of the Mediterranean’s most prestigious settings, leaving you ideally placed for onward travel or continued time ashore.
