Description
Luxury Coastal Cruising Day from Cannes
This skippered day charter from Port Canto offers a polished way to discover one of the most prestigious stretches of the French Riviera. Created for up to 12 guests, the experience is tailored for travelers who want more than a simple boat ride - it is a full day of elegant coastal cruising, warm-water swimming, open-deck relaxation, and panoramic sightseeing along a shoreline known for glamour, villas, and secluded bays. From the moment you board in Cannes, the day is shaped around comfort, scenic beauty, and the flexibility that makes a private yacht charter feel genuinely personal.
The advantage of departing from Port Canto lies in both convenience and atmosphere. The marina is well positioned for a swift exit to sea, allowing the day to begin smoothly and without unnecessary delay. Once underway, guests can settle immediately into the rhythm of Riviera cruising, moving between sunpads, aft seating, and broad teak decks while the captain handles navigation and safety. Whether the group prefers a celebratory outing, a stylish family escape, or a relaxed coastal day with time for water sports and lunch onboard, the itinerary toward Cap d’Antibes creates a refined balance between movement and stillness.
About Our Service in Cannes and Cap d’Antibes
This 8-hour charter runs from 10:00 to 18:00 and follows a scenic route from Cannes to Cap d’Antibes and back. The day begins at 10:00 with departure from Port Canto, followed by a smooth cruise eastward along the Riviera coastline. This first leg is an experience in itself, with views of beaches, waterfront residences, and the bright Mediterranean horizon unfolding as the yacht progresses toward one of the coast’s most iconic destinations. The journey is long enough to enjoy the sensation of being out at sea, yet comfortable enough to keep the day centered around leisure rather than long transit time.
By 11:00, the yacht reaches Billionaires Bay, a secluded and highly desirable anchorage near Cap d’Antibes. From 11:00 to 13:30, guests can enjoy the calm, clear waters in a setting known for exclusivity and natural beauty. This is the part of the day built for effortless enjoyment - swimming, snorkeling, floating in turquoise water, or simply remaining onboard and enjoying the quiet luxury of a private yacht in one of the Riviera’s most admired bays. For guests who want activity, the yacht’s paddleboard and water toys add another layer to the experience. For those who prefer to do very little, the bay is equally perfect for lying back under the sun and letting the day unfold slowly.
At 13:30, lunch is served onboard, turning the anchorage into a private dining setting with exceptional coastal views. From 13:30 to 14:30, guests can enjoy a long, relaxed break with time to eat, converse, unwind, and appreciate the surroundings without interruption. There is a natural elegance to dining at anchor in Cap d’Antibes - the coastline, the villas, the stillness of the water, and the privacy of the yacht all come together to create a setting far more memorable than an ordinary lunch ashore.
From 14:30 to 16:00, the itinerary continues with slow cruising around Cap d’Antibes. This scenic navigation is a highlight of the charter, giving guests the opportunity to take in the dramatic curves of the coastline, hidden coves, lush headlands, and celebrated waterfront properties that have made the area famous. It is a section of the day that feels cinematic, especially from the elevated comfort of a luxury motor yacht. At 16:15, the yacht turns back toward Cannes for a gentle return cruise, arriving at Port Canto at 18:00 and bringing the day to a graceful finish.
