Leave the shore.
Keep the moment.

Some of the best days on the French Riviera begin with very little on the agenda. A beautiful boat. People you love spending time with. Somewhere inviting for the first swim.

From Beaulieu-sur-Mer, the coastline opens into wooded peninsulas, elegant waterfront towns and bays beneath extraordinary cliffs. Your skipper handles the boat while you enjoy the view.

Spend more time swimming, cruise towards Monaco, linger around Cap Ferrat or discuss a longer day heading west. We help shape a day that suits your group, with the route chosen around the conditions.

Good company. Beautiful surroundings.

A day that feels
like yours.

There is no single way to enjoy the Riviera. Bring your favourite people and we’ll help you find your pace.

01

Friends, sunshine
& nowhere to rush.

Swim, share a bottle of rosé and discover the coast together. A private boat day gives your group the freedom to enjoy the setting without sharing the experience with a boatful of strangers.

Plan your boat day
02

Family time,
with a better view.

Time away from the busy beaches, room to relax together and swimming stops chosen with your group in mind. Tell us the children’s ages when booking so we can help you prepare.

Explore family charters
03

For days worth
making special.

Honeymoons, anniversaries, birthdays or simply time for the two of you. A beautiful coastline and a boat to yourselves make a memorable setting for the occasion.

Couples & occasions
Your coastline to discover

Around every headland,
another reason to stop.

From nearby Cap Ferrat to the colourful waterfront of Menton, there is far more to a Riviera boat day than the journey between ports.

Cruise towards Monaco, Cap Martin and Menton, where the old town rises above the water and Italy lies just beyond.

Discover Menton

These destinations are possibilities across different itineraries, rather than stops on one single trip. Longer routes involve more cruising and fuel. Your skipper chooses appropriate stopping places according to the weather, sea state, local regulations and protection of the seabed, including Posidonia seagrass.

An idea of your day

Unhurried by design.
Memorable by nature.

Every group has its own rhythm. Here is how a day might unfold, with the details adapted around your preferences and the conditions.

01 / Welcome aboard

Leave Beaulieu behind.

Meet your skipper, settle in and enjoy the first views of the coast as you leave port.

02 / Find your first bay

A swim, then another.

Stop somewhere suitable for the day’s conditions, take a dip or relax on board with a drink.

03 / Take your time

Lunch at your pace.

Bring something to enjoy aboard or discuss a restaurant stop in advance, subject to access and availability.

04 / The afternoon is yours

A final reason to linger.

Enjoy more coastal scenery and, when conditions allow, another swim before returning to Beaulieu.

The pleasure of taking your time

A long lunch.
Or one more swim.

A boat day should leave room for the things you enjoy most. For some guests, that means a simple lunch aboard and more time in the water. For others, a waterfront restaurant is part of the occasion.

Let us know your preference before your charter so we can discuss what works with your route.

Swimming, lunch & beach clubs

Keep it beautifully simple.

You are welcome to bring food and additional drinks. There is one indoor fridge and an integrated outdoor cooler on board.

Catering or restaurant plans should be discussed in advance. Shore access, reservations and any boat-transfer arrangements depend on the location and conditions.

Meals, catering and transfers are additional unless specifically agreed otherwise.
