16 Jun CATAMARAN IN NICE

Discover our Excursions Catamaran in Nice . From the port of Nice , you can discover the Baie des Anges , the Rade de Villefranche-sur-Mer, Cap Ferrat, the small village of Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, Eze and its seaside, the Principality of Monaco and why not sail to the Italian border to discover the magnificent old village of Menton.

While sailing towards the west, you can discover the Cap d’Antibes, the beautiful bay of Cannes and the islands of Lérins on which we can call. We can also continue our sailing to the Esterel Massif and Gulf of Saint. There is no doubt that the catamaran sailing on the Côte d’Azur will provide you with some wonderful surprises .

CATAMARAN IN MONACO

From Nice, we offer Catamaran excursions in Monaco . We will leave the Port of Nice to sail in the direction of the East. On the road, we will discover many small villages of the seaside, we will cross the Cap of Nice, Cap Ferrat, Cap Estel and we will go to Cap Martin. On the road, we can make stops in the beautiful coves that offer wonderful beaches. I’m thinking in particular of the Mala beach, with its turquoise waters, cliffs and caves.

CATAMARAN IN CANNES

If you want to head west, we can sail towards Cannes and the Lérins Islands . After crossing the Bay of Angels and the seaside of Nice, we will pass the Cap d’Antibes and its pretty coves.

The Catamaran in Cannes therefore offers fantastic landscapes . If you wish and the wind pushes us, we can continue our sailing catamaran to the Gulf of Saint-Tropez .

Why Should I Charter a Catamaran in the South of France

1. ravishing riviera.

The wealthy and famous gather in the Riviera each Summer, and cities such as Cannes, Monaco and St. Tropez have become known for their A-list crowds and superyachts. As a result, the marinas are next to none, equipped with state-of-the-art mooring and facilities, so it really is a dream to sail in the South of France and live the luxury life. A place where boating is synonymous with style and elegance, a catamaran charter here will be a deluxe experience whilst you mingle with the crème de la crème under the heat of the Mediterranean sun!

2. Elegant Beaches

Vacationers from all over France and Europe head to the South of France to spend their summer days lounging on golden sands. So, a catamaran charter here means you get the privacy of a boat, not overcrowded with tourists, but as and when you wish, you can drop anchor at one of the gorgeous beaches and soak up some sun. The most famous beach in the Riviera is Pampelonne Beach in Saint Tropez. Famed after it was the filming location for Roger Vadim’s movie, ‘And God Created the Woman”, starring Brigitte Bardot. The beach is a long, sandy strip where people from all backgrounds bronze and bathe themselves; families, locals and celebrities! If you charter a catamaran from the base in Saint Raphaël, make sure you pay a visit to Plage de la Baumette, where a rugged coastline and crystalline turquoise waters make for a beautiful beach.

3. Seductive Scenery

A region cloaked in fields of lavender and ancient olive groves, once you’re out of the harbourside towns, some say it’s like walking through an impressionist canvas. This heavenly setting attracted artists such as Picasso, Chagall and Cezanne to paint here, inspired by the lush landscapes. Start your catamaran charter in Marseille and navigate south round the coast until you reach Calanques National Park, where breathtaking, limestone cliffs tower over translucent aqua waters. It will be unlike anything else you see on your charter holiday, so pack a camera and set sail! The South of France is also home to various stunning towns and villages, not just natural wonders. You can rent a catamaran from Port Grimaud, known as the ‘Venice of the Provence, where yacht-filled canals weave around colourful houses. It’s a unique, man-made settlement, and definitely worth a visit during your boat charter.

Sailing in the South of France

The South of France is a hotspot for sailors, not just because of the glitz and glamour, but because the conditions make navigation a dream! The best time for your catamaran charter is between the months of May and September, as winds are calm (10-20 knots) and waters are peaceful. Thanks to a Mediterranean climate, hot, dry weather is the norm in the summer months, so hop on board your catamaran, and kick back with a glass of wine in hand and soak up some sun!

Classy Cannes

Home to the famous Cannes Film Festival, the city is a celebrity playground; chic and drowning in wealth and sophistication. The promenade, ‘La Croisette’ is home to countless couture stores, Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton to name a few, boasting some of the South of France’s most exclusive shopping opportunities, as well as fine restaurants and palace hotels. Take a hike up Suquet Hill, where atop lies the Musée de la Castre, where local treasures such as art, musical instruments and artefacts are on display. If you go to the top of the tower, you will get what will likely be the best views of your whole catamaran charter! Keep an eye out for the Allée des Etoiles de Cinema, (Cannes version of the Hollywood walk of fame) which includes names such as Meryl Streep, Paul McCartney and Tim Burton. You’ll be spoilt for choice of excellent restaurants, but if you’re a seafood lover, head to La Potinière, where you’ll fine the freshest seafood in the region – an old favourite of Spanish painter, Picasso.

Reaching my Destination

The South of France is well connected via various transport links. With international airports in Nice and Marseille, it’s simple to reach your catamaran charter base! Airport-marina transfers can be organized for you if needed (at an additional cost), just inform your GlobeSailor advisor.

Nice Yacht Charters

Nice is a popular yacht charter destination in the French Riviera. Despite the fact that today, Nice is the second most popular destination in France – next to Paris, of course – it wasn’t until the late 18th-century that its beauty started attracting A-list appeal.

Boasting an ideal Mediterranean climate all year round, Nice first gained traction as a winter destination for English aristocrats; and once its beauty was confirmed, later became a muse for Western artists most talented painters: like Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse, Arman, and Niki de Saint Phalle, to name a few.

The meeting point of old-world opulence, sunny shores, art enthusiasts, delicious fare, and seaside views, Nice is a haven for the romantics. To experience the true heart of the French Riviera, watch the sunset as you walk along the Promenade des Anglais, see the art hanging on the walls of Fondation Maeght or grab a drink at one of the coastal city’s celebrity-filled nightclubs. When the sun is shining – which, in Nice, it always is – wander through Cours Saleya, one of the globe’s most popular flower and food markets, for fresh produce brought in by the local harvest.

It’s worth a visit; after all, Nice is considered the “foodie capital” of the world. Nice is the perfect place to visit on your France yacht charter to expand your palate with quaint bistros and boulangeries to elegant brasseries and fromageries.

Nice France Yacht Charters – Things to Do & See

Promenade des Anglais

Named “La Prom” for short, the Promenade des Anglais, or ‘English Walk,’ runs along the pebbly shore of the Nicean coastline; making it the focal point of the city, and a metaphorical compass for the rest of Nice’s frequented attractions. Lined with palms and boasting enchanting sunset views, “La Prom” is the perfect spot for a relaxing bicycle ride, a slow skate or a romantic evening stroll. Along its path are a couple of other sites worth seeing: the majestic 1912-built Hôtel Negresco and the art deco Palais de la Méditerranée, which exists as a part of an impressive, four-star palace.

Colline du Château

French for “Castle Hill,” Colline du Château is a historic hill that holds the remains of Nice’s first Ancient Greek settlement; which, considering its existence thousands of years ago, was considered to be the area’s first true Medieval town. While most of the castle has since crumbled, today, the site houses a large park and botanical garden, waterfalls, the remains of a former 11th-century Cathedral, walkways made of vibrant, 20th-century mosaics, and sweeping panoramic views of Nice and the Baie des Anges below.

Cours Saleya

Situated in the heart of Vieille Ville, or “Old Town” – in a city that is already considered to be one of the world’s most desired culinary destinations – Cours Saleya is a famous fruit, flower and vegetable market, highly regarded for its colorful produce, seductive aromas, and on select days, precious antiques. Open Tuesday through Sunday, Cours Saleya welcomes travelers and locals alike to peruse its bountiful stalls; and when they’re done, traipse through its surrounding shops and enjoy dinner at one of the nearby, likely award-winning restaurants.

With Cannes, Monaco and St Tropez nearby, a private yacht charter in Nice offers a full range of possibilities for itineraries.

Guide to Nice

The cosmopolitan capital of the Côte d’Azur

Curved beautifully around the Bay of Angels, the cosmopolitan capital of the Côte d’Azur, Nice, is a city of contrasts. Gleaming with sophistication, it strikes an engaging balance between historic Provençal grace, port-town exotica and well-dressed urban decadence in a delicious concoction of high culture.

Famous for its enchanting Belle Époque heritage and its idyllic setting on the French Riviera  surrounded by the foothills of the Alpes Maritimes, makes Nice a prime luxury yacht charter destination. The multicultural population, Mediterranean lifestyle, artistic centres and charming eccentricities create a hedonistic yet earthy atmosphere.

Italian influences abound throughout this iconic metropolis, no more so than in the captivating old town of Vieux Nice. The unassuming façade of Eglise de Jésus or Palais Lascaris are gateways into forgotten worlds whilst the sudden surprise of the Cáthedrale de Saint Réparate, opening up among the tiny streets, is one of the most beautiful sights to behold in the South of France. Spend a morning searching the alluring pastel-hued, sun bleached arcades through the winding alleyways to uncover antique treasures, vintage wines and local delicacies.

The sun-drenched and eternally fashionable Promenade des Anglais is a hub of activity amongst turn-of-the-century mansions that lord over the unceasing procession of rollerbladers, fashionistas and beachgoers. As the pink and orange light of dusk sets over the Riviera, the long strip of polished pebbles that form the bay comes alive with chic bars and restaurants to the backdrop of the dark, glittering sea.

Take a helicopter up to the mountains to the stunning Alpine village of Sospel. Peaceful and quaint, the surrounding area offers exhilarating opportunities to hike, horse-ride, bike and fish amongst the French countryside. The high point of the year falls in mid-February, when the city hosts one of the most spectacular Carnival celebrations in France.

If you are interested in discovering this part of the French Riviera from the comfort of a superyacht, then begin by comparing all of the crewed yachts for charter in the South of France  to get any idea of those which can be used for private cruising.

Explore Nice, France, and French Riviera from your Yacht

Nice, France is a beguiling mix of culture, class, history, food, and luxury sailing.

Founded in 5BC by the Greeks, Nicea, or Nice (as it’s now known) has been a hotspot for tourism for generations. The Greeks, Italians, French, and English have all vacationed in the city at one point and have influenced everything from art to architecture and food. The year-round sunshine and the stunning Mediterranean waters are the biggest reasons people worldwide travel down to rent a boat Nice.

Dubbed by many as the unofficial capital of the French Rivera, Nice offers some of the best seaside resorts, foods, restaurants, architecture, and Marinas in France. The city has a little bit of everything for all sorts of travelers.

History and architecture buffs will delight in Castle hill, the various contemporary museums, and historical buildings. Casual vacationers will enjoy the warm rocky beaches of the Mediterranean sea, the foods, and the many tours that show the most exciting sports in the city. Sailors will fall in love with the many ports and Marinas where you’ll find a French Riviera yacht charter that’ll suit you perfectly.

Exploring the French Riviera from Nice

There’s no shortage of Ports and Marinas where you can rent a boat Nice France. Despite having no sandy beaches, the pleasure boating scene in Nice is in full swing.

Port of Nice is the biggest Port in the city and is home to Mega Yachts, Sailboats, and every vessel in between. It should be your first destination if you want to rent a yacht in Nice, France .

Port Saint Jean Cap Ferrat Marina is a great second choice. St-Jean Cap Ferrat is an exclusive commune belonging to some of the wealthiest men and women in Riviera. And their Marina provides the best amenities and services for sailors and vessel owners. You’ll struggle to find a better yacht charter in France.

Port de Beaulieu Marina, Beaulieu-Sur-Mer is some ways from Nice, but if you’re patient enough to make the trip or are in the area, you’ll find no better location to rent a boat Nice France. The town of Beaulieu-Sur-Mer boasts of two of the largest Marinas on the Riviera, and yacht hire Nice, and Sailboat charters in Nice, France, are plentiful.

Port la Darse Marina, Villefranche-Sur-Mer is off the beaten path, eastward of Nice. It’s a small-capacity Marinas that accept Yachts 34 m tall, Super Yachts, and even sailboats. It’s another stellar place to rent a boat Nice.

Marina Baie Des Anges, Port des Fourmis, and Port Saint Laurent du Var Marina are excellent alternatives located in Nice or the villages around it. You can rent a boat and sail up and down the Riviera.

City Attractions to Visit When Sailing Nice, France

Nice is the fifth-largest city in France, and there are no shortages of exciting activities to do. For sailors, most of the excitement you’ll find in the city will be by the private yacht clubs, French Riviera yacht charters, and guided tours.

For sight-seers and food lovers, Nice is magical. Old Town is the heart of the city and has some of the cheapest accommodations, the best restaurants and pastries, flower markets, and plenty of the most fascinating monuments in the city.

Hike Castle Hill to get the best view in the city and walk the Promenade des Anglais for a lovely view of the Mediterranean every morning Art lovers will delight in the Chegal Museum, the contemporary art museum, and other private and public Museums located in the city.

If you’re Nice for the architecture and history, you should visit Palais Lascaris, Garden of the Cimiiez Monastery, and St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral. They cost next to nothing to visit and tell the true story of the city.

Weather in Nice, France

Like most cities in France, the weather in Nice changes a lot over the course of the year. During the winter months, temperatures can reach as slow as 43 degrees in December and January, and by the height of August, they can reach as high as 82 degrees Fahrenheit.

You’ll find similar weather among most cities along the Riviera, meaning finding yacht charters in Antibes or a Cannes yacht charter will just be as complicated as sailing Nice France. If you can, avoid the city entirely in August. Most of France vacations during that month, and the price of accommodation, food, and just about everything skyrockets as the french make a mass exodus to the Riviera.

However, Nice never sees snow or lots of rain, and that means, despite the huge temperature difference, you can visit the city year-round with very few issues.

Preparing for the Nice Sailing Trip

Despite being on the Riviera, Nice is actually more accessible by air. Ferry rides and train rides take forever and are almost as expensive as booking a local plane ride, and if you’re traveling down from North America, you’ll be coming by plane already.

Nice, France is a charming place, but like visiting any foreign country, it can be a nightmare if you don’t prepare ahead for it. Book your Airbnb, sailboat charters in Nice, France, or yacht charters Nice ahead of time to have the smoothest experience.

You can also look up specific locations you’d like to visit and plan out an Itinerary. Most people that visit Nice don’t stop at the city, but also visit the surrounding towns, villages, and the other cities on the Riviera for an authentic and more complete experience.
