French Riviera

The destination

On the Côte d'Azur the main ports sit close together. Monaco, Antibes, Cannes and St-Tropez can be linked in a few days of coastal cruising, with quieter water off the Lérins Islands or along the Estérel when you want a break from harbour evenings. Logistics are mature: fuel, provisioning, crew changes and tender runs are routine, which is why the coast remains a default for guests who care about reliability as much as the calendar. May brings the Grand Prix and the Film Festival; September often means warmer sea and thinner crowds. Corsica is a separate leg - worth planning deliberately rather than treating it as a casual add-on to a Riviera week. Tell us whether the priority is events, dining ashore, or more time at anchor, and we shape the route around that.
