Cannes to Cap d’Antibes and Billionaires Bay Coastal Charter
This skippered day charter from Cannes is designed for guests who want the French Riviera at its most polished - a combination of panoramic cruising, turquoise anchorages, and the unmistakable glamour of one of the region’s most prestigious coastal stretches. Departing from Port Canto, the experience is ideal for couples, families, and private groups of up to 10 guests who want to enjoy a full day on the Mediterranean without the responsibility of handling the yacht themselves. With a professional skipper included, the atmosphere remains relaxed from the beginning, allowing you to focus on the scenery, the water, and the pleasure of spending a day offshore in total comfort.
What makes this route particularly appealing is its balance between elegant sightseeing and genuine leisure. Cap d’Antibes is renowned for luxury villas, hidden coves, and a coastline that feels timelessly Riviera, while Billionaires Bay offers one of the region’s most inviting settings for swimming and relaxation. Instead of a generic boat outing, this charter creates a full private coastal experience where cruising itself is part of the pleasure and every stop contributes to a smooth, memorable day.
About Our Service in Cannes and Cap d’Antibes
This 8-hour itinerary runs from 10:00 to 18:00 and is especially well suited to guests who want a stylish day that combines calm water activities with scenic navigation. From Port Canto, the yacht heads east along the Riviera, and because the route remains relatively accessible, the day feels leisurely rather than demanding. Timing can be adapted according to weather and guest preferences, but the itinerary has been designed to give a satisfying mix of anchorage time, lunch on the water, and unhurried exploration of the coastline.
Departure is at 10:00 from Port Canto, one of Cannes’ best-known marinas and an excellent starting point for a premium day charter. As the yacht cruises toward Cap d’Antibes, guests can settle into the rhythm of the journey while enjoying views of beaches, waterfront homes, and the wide Mediterranean horizon. The passage itself is part of the charm, gradually shifting the mood from city marina to classic Riviera seascape.
By 11:00, you arrive at Billionaires Bay, a picturesque and exclusive anchorage celebrated for its clear water and attractive natural setting. From 11:00 to 13:30, the yacht becomes your private base for swimming, snorkeling, and easy leisure. Some guests may prefer to enter the water and make the most of the calm conditions, while others may simply relax on deck, enjoy the breeze, and admire the coastline from a privileged viewpoint. Because the stop is long and unrushed, everyone can enjoy the bay in their own way.
At 13:30, lunch can be enjoyed onboard, framed by coastal views that define the Riviera’s reputation for beauty and refinement. The lunch period continues until 14:30, providing time not only to dine but also to linger, sunbathe, and take in the atmosphere. On a route like this, the midday break becomes more than a meal - it is part of the overall pleasure of being on the water, unhurried and fully immersed in the setting.
From 14:30 to 16:00, the charter continues with slow cruising around Cap d’Antibes. This is one of the day’s defining moments, giving guests the opportunity to appreciate the dramatic coastline, exclusive villas, and hidden inlets that have made this area famous. It is an ideal segment for those who enjoy sightseeing from the water, taking photographs, and seeing the Riviera from its most flattering perspective. The pace remains smooth and elegant, focused on enjoyment rather than speed.
At 16:15, the yacht turns back toward Cannes for the return cruise. The journey back offers one more chance to enjoy the sea, the skyline, and the warm late-day light across the coast before arriving at Port Canto at 18:00. The entire charter is structured to feel complete and satisfying, with no sense of rushing through the Riviera’s highlights.
About Our Yacht - Fairline Squadron 52
The yacht for this experience is a Fairline Squadron 52, a well-proportioned luxury motor yacht that is particularly well suited to day charters along the French Riviera. Measuring 16.4 meters in length with a 4.7-meter beam, it provides the kind of onboard volume that makes a real difference for day guests. There is room to relax, move comfortably, and enjoy different moods throughout the trip, whether that means gathering socially, stretching out in the sun, or retreating briefly inside for shade and comfort.
Originally built in 2001 and refitted in 2020, the yacht brings together reliable performance and updated onboard comfort. It accommodates up to 10 guests and includes 2 cabins, 4 berths, 2 toilets, and 2 bathrooms, making it highly practical for a full day on the water. The shallow 0.8-meter draft is useful for reaching calm bays and attractive swim spots, while the layout supports the relaxed and social atmosphere expected of a premium skippered charter from Cannes.
Twin 530 hp engines provide smooth and efficient cruising between destinations. This means the transition from marina to bay, or from anchorage to scenic coastline, feels refined and easy rather than abrupt. Combined with the local expertise of the skipper and the flexibility built into the day, the yacht helps turn a beautiful route into a genuinely comfortable and polished private charter experience.
