A Day On Board Our Yacht At The Monaco Grand Prix

It’s a day of refined tranquil luxury watching some of the most exciting sporting action on the planet, a day to look forward to and remember forever.

If you want glamour, prestige and an unbeatable adrenalin rush, this has to be the best there is – watching the Monaco Grand Prix from a luxury yacht that’s close enough to the action you can virtually feel the whoosh of air as the cars race by at 140mph. You’ll certainly hear the boom of their awe-inspiring power!

Delicious food and drinks served on board complete the millionaire feel of this day. From local French wines to fresh juice and then there’s the amazing food… mouthwatering lobster, quality meats, a variety of excellent cheeses. You won’t want to ever leave the yacht.

First raced in 1929, the Monaco Grand Prix is regarded as the most eminent and esteemed car race in the world. Taking place in May on the Circuit de Monaco, household names such as Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso will drive fast and hard in their Formula One (the highest class of single-seat auto racing) sleek machines.

All the racing-car action is on a slender course created around Monaco’s streets – that mean it’s a treacherous place to race. Only the very best high-speed drivers with their wits and skill fully about them can handle its many twists, turns and the famous tunnel.

Rocket Hospitality’s yacht hospitality excitement starts at Fontvielle Harbour, the next bay from Monaco’s Port Hercules harbour. Keep an eye out here for famous Fontvielle residents such as former Wimbledon tennis champions Björn Borg and Boris Becker; and racing driver such as David Coulthard.

At 8.30am, you’ll make the 10-minute picturesque trip on a RIB lightweight high-performance boat to the harbour in Monaco where some of the most stunning yachts around are moored. A champagne breakfast greets guests to an amazing luxury yacht moored in a prime location in Monaco harbour (and with excellent views of the huge screens that show the build-up, entire race and celebrations afterwards).

Moored in two great locations, Rocket’s yachts view either the super-fast straight between Chicane du Port and Tabac, which is a tricky tight corner taken at about 120mph; or between Tabac and Piscine, a fast left-right section of the course.

There’s a complimentary bar throughout, delicious full gourmet lunch served on board, and friendly bilingual staff on hand to assist with anything to make the day go wonderfully. After the race has been won, at around 5pm it’s either time to return by the RIB boat to Fontvielle Harbour or get off the yacht to explore Monaco from there on foot.

It’s an easy enough place to get around. Neatly tucked away into less than a square mile, the world’s second-smallest country (after Vatican City) officially has a 38,500 population, but those numbers are greatly boosted by tourists who are drawn to Monaco’s splendour. It makes the nightlife absolutely fantastic and the streets are filled with happy party people.

Situated in the French Riviera, surrounded by a lovely landscape and facing into the tantalising turquoise Mediterranean Sea, Monaco enjoys a wonderfully warm climate (and for residents there’s also the attraction of paying no income tax!). Unsurprisingly there’s a fantastic choice of quality places to eat and a wide range of impressive architecture, including the well-known Monte Carlo Casino.

You could even have the chance of becoming one of those super-wealthy Monaco residents if you pay it a visit! Give it a go, you never know…

Guidelines to responsible yachting

If you’re looking to explore our beautiful planet, a yacht charter is a great place to start. Explore coral reefs with your snorkel, discover hidden bays and islands and generally enjoy the view of nature. Remember, that sailing motto:  'Take only photos, leave only wake'  (OK, so we paraphrased). To be a responsible sailor, remember:

• Don’t disturb coral or sealife
• Take your trash home (and don’t throw anything in the sea)
• Respect the locals and their customs wherever you go

Monaco Grand Prix yacht hospitality and party packages: The ultimate guide

• Share this on Facebook

• Share this on X

The Monaco Grand Prix is one of the rare F1 fixtures that can be viewed from a superyacht and with an exclusive hospitality package, you’ll be able to experience the electrifying racing and glamorous social scene from this VIP perspective.

There is no finer way to soak up Monaco ’s Formula One action than from the comfort of a superyacht, no matter whether you wish to see the live racing, join in the post-race celebrations or a combination of both. And, luckily, plenty of prestigious event companies make this possible.

Read on to discover what F1 hospitality packages are available to ensure you make the most out of your time at what is undoubtedly the most iconic race on the Grand Prix circuit.

F1 race hospitality packages

Day package deals give grand prix-goers the opportunity to enjoy the race from a superyacht berthed in a premium trackside location. These coveted slips provide unrivalled views of the drivers hurtling out of the tunnel at around 170mph before slamming on the breaks to navigate the Nouvelle Chicane.

World-class service will be supplied by the crew as soon as guests step on board, with premium food and drink available on demand. This creates the perfect setting for socialising with like-minded individuals and soaking up the electric atmosphere unique to the F1 circuit.

Access to the superyacht across the Monaco race weekend will vary according to the type of hospitality package you purchase. There are usually packages available for individual days, with the option to see the practice laps on Thursday offering some of the most cost-effective, with coveted packages over Sunday's race day understandably more expensive due to higher demand.

Accommodation isn’t provided with this type of package.

F1 after-race hospitality packages

As the track-side action draws to a close, many of the superyachts in Port Hercules will play host to buzzing F1 after-parties. Live DJs will take to the decks with state-of-the-art sound systems, top-end facilities and free-flowing drinks providing a luxurious club-like experience befitting of Monaco.

Famous faces, high-net-worth individuals and other VIPs always flock to the harbour for these renowned superyacht parties and, to mingle alongside the global elite, simply secure an after-race hospitality package.

Sunday night is usually the most popular as it follows the main race and grand prix drivers themselves are often spotted joining in the fun. You can purchase a ticket separately for either Saturday or Sunday night. On-board accommodation will not be provided.

F1 VIP race & yacht hospitality packages

Expanding the options further are packages combining day-time race viewing with after-race parties. The ultimate way to enjoy the grand prix, these offer a complete F1 experience involving prime race viewing spots, free-flowing drinks and gourmet food and exclusive entertainment into the early hours.

Other features can include ‘Q&A’ sessions with a former F1 driver as well as appearances from celebrities. Past names include Eddie Irvine, Tinie Tempeh, Martin Brundle and Amir Khan. Plus, the packages from the most esteemed companies include VIP tender transfers to the yacht.

Packages such as these can be booked for one day, two days or the entire race weekend.  

Yacht accommodation

With some weekend-long packages or ones that span over more than just one day, there is the chance to secure accommodation on board the superyacht.

As the majority of yachts can only sleep 12 guests, the cabins fill up quickly. So to take advantage of these hospitality packages that include accommodation, book early.     

What to consider before booking:

• How big is the yacht?
• How many people will be on board?
• Where will the yacht be berthed?
• What food and drink are included?
• Is there a DJ and other live entertainment?
• Will there be a driver or ex-driver meet and greet?
• What will the guest to staff ratio be?

If you are looking to combine all of these excellent advantages, you can read our article about the ultimate yacht hospitality package deal . Experience the races from a premium trackside spot, with world-class service and gourmet food and drink.

Yachts in your shortlist

Monaco Yacht Club: An Exclusive Oasis For Marine Lovers

Looking down on the Yacht Club from Monaco’s exclusive seawater Spa, “ Thermes Marins ”, the new club-house really is a magnificent icon of multi-decked architecture – inaugurated in 2014 and designed by internationally renowned architect Lord Norman Foster.

Only in the Principality’s marina could you confuse this giant structure for the yachts around it that it resembles – a yacht mirage with a gorgeous deck with luxurious swimming pool and terraces for dancing. Splendid enough for meetings of the most discerning yacht enthusiasts, including the glitterati and “Three Comma” billionaires that frequent it.

Yachts Beyond the Reach of Mere Mortals

Some of the largest and most expensive yachts in the world dock here to take in the city’s pleasures, particularly during the iconic Monaco Yacht Show. You can wander around marvelling at all of the gadgets designers can inlay on these boats like the 348-foot-long AMADEA one of the largest and most distinctive superyachts in the world with its six distinctive guest decks. Or perhaps gaze at the 365-foot-long TIS, one of the largest and most regal yachts to be launched this year.

These superyachts, like the Yacht Club itself are like private islands and wouldn’t look out of place in a James Bond movie. If billionaires Bernard Arnault or Larry Page or Larry Ellison come calling, Monaco Yacht Club sets the stage perfectly.

Home of the Grimaldi Dynasty

For over 600 years from the 12th century onwards, the Grimaldi stronghold at Port Hercule, including where the Yacht Club now preens itself, was one of the prized naval assets on the Mediterranean. Its strategic location served more than once to change the course of history.

It was around the time of the reign of Charles III of Monaco that the Principality’s reputation as an international haven of luxury and wealth took off. And Charles III had the vision to encourage the development of Monaco as a magnet for international regattas of renown to which the world flocked.

Historic Regatta Heaven

The first of these regattas were held in the bay of Monaco in 1862, so successful that in 1888 the “Société des Régates” was established by Prince Charles III and his son Prince Albert I , affectionately known as the “Oceanographer Prince”.

Almost a century of famous regattas preceded the founding in 1953 by Prince Rainier and presided over by Prince Albert II since 1984, the Yacht Club de Monaco. The Club brings together more than 2000 members from 66 nationalities. Many of the world’s most prestigious private yachts fly the Yacht Club de Monaco’s burgee, testimony to its unique position in the International yachting world.

Prince Albert’s Presidency

In April 1984, with Prince Albert’s Presidency, he developed new international events such as the Primo Cup, the biggest gathering of monotype yachts in the Mediterranean Sea. Prince Albert also put emphasis on classic Yachting with the organization from 1994 of the Monaco Classic Week for vintage and classic yachts, the Prada Challenge for Classic Yachts.

Notably, it was the first visit of Atlantic 2010 (replica of the 1903 three-mast schooner on which Charlie Barr in 1905 set the best time for an Atlantic crossing) to the Principality. Another icon, the SS Delphine (1921) steam-boat made a welcome return. It was aboard this beauty that three world leaders, Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill, negotiated at least part of the 1945 Yalta Agreement.

Yacht Seasons are typically opened with ultra-private concerts at YCM with celebrities like Sir Elton John in 2016, Duran Duran in 2017, and Sting last year. It was yet another global star Lionel Richie singing “All Night Long” this September who delighted the many boat owners and YCM members. “All Night Long” was attended by YCM President, Prince Albert II and a host of international personalities including actor-producer Samuel L. Jackson, basketball legend Magic Johnson, Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba and fashion designer Domenico Dolce, one of the two behind the eponymous brand D&G.

Regatta and Sports Heaven with a Golden Future

The Monaco Yacht Club from its beginnings embraced and has nurtured a prestige Regatta program that has accelerated and taken on new dimensions under Prince Albert’s Presidency.

It is worth mentioning the Primo Cup again as it has quickly established itself as the big meeting that opens the season in the Mediterranean for Europe’s one-design elite. Just a few other examples of stand-out Regattas enjoyed by YCMmembers include:

Monaco Swan One Design,  (9th-13th April 2019) organized in conjunction with the Yacht Club de Monaco,  was the first event in the 2019 Nations Trophy Mediterranean League.

Monaco Globe Week with the IMOCA 60  – 60-foot monohulls being among the fastest modern racing monohulls have raced on a course totalling 1,300 nautical miles embracing some of the most emblematic marks in the Western Mediterranean.

Monaco Sportsboat Winter Series  offers a monthly programme alternating high level regattas and training weekends for onedesigns.

As well as the Primo Cup another innovation worth a double mention here is  Monaco Classic Week. Persuaded that the reading of the past holds keys for the future Prince Albert fostered the creation and coordination during five years of a unique circuit for vintage and classic yachts, the Prada Challenge for Classic Yachts, without forgetting the acquisition of Tuiga in 1995, since becoming the flagship of the YCM. More recently the wave continued with the launching in 2005 of the “La Belle Classe” label.

The whole yachting world continues to look to Monaco to organize its most prestigious events. Within the last 12 months, 200 guests from the America’s Cup community from around the world gathered at the Yacht Club de Monaco to celebrate the launch of  the Prada Cup – the Challenger Selection Series for the 36th America’s Cup  to be presented by Prada in January 2021 in Auckland – deemed as “ the quest for oldest trophy in sport ”, the America’s Cup. Not to forget  World Rowing with the  Prince Albert II Challenge , a 6000m coastal race organised by the Societe Nautique de Monaco.

The Enthusiasm and Promise of Monaco’s Youth at YCM

Looking to the future is the Monaco Sports Academy which provides support to gifted young Monaco sailors and sportsmen taking on the world. The Academy is a close collaboration between the Yacht Club de Monaco, presided by Prince Albert and its General Secretary Bernard d’Alessandri, and Philippe Ghanem who is an active member of the Club. They share a common goal: to help young athletes living in Monaco reach the highest level in sport.

Also founded in 1970 by Prince Rainier III, the Sports Section of Y.C.M. adapts training to youngsters from as young as age six from initiation to competition and at every age.

Look out for the Monaco Optimist Team Race from 9-12 January 2020. The regatta is reserved for 20 teams of young sailors, all under 14. YCM invites the most competitive clubs with emphasis on tactics and above all team-work.

Full of youthful energy and promise is  the Monaco Solar & Energy Boat Challenge  next held on 30 June-4 July 2020. The Yacht Club de Monaco, in collaboration with the International Powerboating Federation (UIM) and Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation organises the Solar & Energy Boat Challenge which is unique in the world.

How to become a new member of the Yacht Club

Anyone wishing to become a member of the Yacht Club de Monaco needs to be introduced by two “sponsors” from YCM. The sponsor’s letter of introduction will explain the applicant’s motives for joining the Club. Prince Albert, President of the Yacht Club, presides over the meetings of the admissions’ committee. The role of the sponsor is essential. The latter, must integrate him into the life of the Yacht Club, accompany him, present him to the other members but also involve him in organized events, whether they be social or sports.

The sponsor also undertakes to ensure that his “protégé” embraces the YCM’s philosophy and values, will actively engage in the Club’s life and keep its reputation at the pinnacle.

A Regal Club and Natural Host of Prestigious Events

The Yacht club reaches well beyond being a club for owners of yachts and superyachts. It is actually an immense infrastructure akin to a multi-tiered island that organises not only events connected to the yachts and regattas but also all kind of sports and social events, dances and entertainment. High society balls, conferences, exclusive business gatherings and prestigious auctions are just part of the kaleidoscope of activity.

The members of the club and their guests have at their disposition restaurants with Michelin Star chefs (including the exclusive 1909) gyms and a library – and a spa-zone, not to mention the gorgeous pool and terraces overlooking the azure bay. There is a truly great bar, a hive of social contact, with an international reputation and winner of awards for its unique cocktails and the skills of its bar staff. Endless discovery is to be found in each private niche of this island-club.

Getting around Monaco 

A superb infrastructure ensures getting around Monaco is effortless, with multiple options available, including by foot, bicycle, or limousine.

The principality has ambitious aims to reduce its greenhouse gases and has therefore invested heavily in multiple eco-friendly modes of transportation. 

Monaco’s small size means that reaching most destinations is possible by foot, with beautifully maintained footpaths, underpasses, elevators, and lifts, enhancing the city-state’s accessibility. 

By electric bike 

For those wishing to traverse the principality by pedal power, the Monabike scheme offers electric bikes, with 43  bicycle docks strategically located throughout the principality, providing access to nearly 390 electric bicycles.  

By limousine  

One of the most exclusive and private ways to travel in Monaco is by private limousine. There are several limousine companies offering a fleet of luxury executive cars for a personalized VIP service.

Monaco culture 

Monaco has a rich and varied culture heavily influenced by its neighbors, France and Italy. Many of the principality’s residents are ex-pats, with a significant portion from France, Italy, the UK, Belgium, and Switzerland. Only around one in five residents are of Monegasque descent. This vibrant mix of residents creates a rich tapestry of cultures. 

Monaco’s official language is French; however, English is widely spoken. You’ll also hear Monaco’s traditional language, ‘Munegascu,’ or ‘Monegasque’ a language which has its roots in Genoese. The Principality is governed by Prince Albert II, the hereditary ruler who ascended to the throne following his father’s death in 2005. 

Best Monaco Views 

With an enviable location on the Mediterranean Sea, spectacular views can be enjoyed throughout the Principality. However, some of the best Monaco views can be enjoyed from: 

• The Jardin Exotique Botanical Gardens
• Le Rocher, or The Rock of Monaco
• The Oceanographic Museum
• Some of the finest luxury real estate, especially high-rise residential Monaco buildings, such as Tour Odeon, Jardin Exotique, Château Perigord Monaco, Millefiori Monaco, the Monte-Carlo Sun, Annonciade, Park Palace, Parc Saint Roman, and Mirabeau.

Boat trip ideas in Monaco

Discover how to arrange the perfect Monaco boat trip

With beaches and coves, impressive cliff edges and turquoise waters, there is no better way to explore the coastline of Monaco than from a boat.

The main ways of doing this are, depending on your budget, to  charter a yacht  or  hire a boat ; or  take a boat trip  with one of the many companies located all around the marinas. The latter is a popular option for being the most cost effective and easy to organise and, of course, you don't need a skipper licence; as they usually offer scheduled departures so you just have to turn up and enjoy your day.

Book My Boat Trip

Note that most of the boat trips around Monaco are seasonal, starting from April and finishing in October.

Boat trip options

The majority of boat trips are day journeys and often anchor for a while so people can soak up the stunning scenery Monaco has to offer. There is also usually the opportunity to indulge in some swimming, snorkelling or kayaking on these excursions. Sunset cruises can be booked in the evenings, giving you the opportunity to enjoy the views with a glass of bubbly and sometimes even dinner. For thrill seekers, perhaps a speedboat ride will get the adrenaline flowing.

Monaco has a wide range of vessels available, including catamarans, motor boats and sailing yachts of different shapes, sizes and prices. Snorkelling, diving, fishing and specialist watersports boat trips are available, some even have glass bottoms so guests can discover the fish and sea vegetation below. 

It’s worth noting that some companies will pick you up from your accommodation and take you to the departure points. Food and drink are sometimes included in the price of the trip; otherwise, boats tend to have bars on board where you are able to purchase drinks.

Boat trips to Saint Tropez The French Riviera technically begins at  Saint Tropez , and this pastel-coloured fishing village is a perfect spot to spend some time in the summer months. Superyachts cram the port and famous DJ’s play until dawn, so if you like the glitz and glamour then it is an absolute highlight. It’s best to arrive by boat as you can just anchor off and go ashore to enjoy the excitement and a good meal and then float away again to enjoy the breathtaking surrounds of red rock against turquoise waters. The famed  beach clubs  along  Pampelonne Beach  are oozing in celebrity chic, although there are a few cheaper and family-friendly options as well. If you can get there in the quieter months you’ll see Saint Tropez as the small and lovely town it really is.

While in this magical part of the world, visit the Les Isles d’Or (the Islands of Gold), the most famous of which is  Porquerolles . This island is a favourite stop for superyachts as well as boats of every description- with beautiful harbours, national parks beaches and cliffs - perfect for exploring. Hire a bike to make the most of it, or just snorkel, swim and hike the day away.

Boat trips to Cannes Walk along the palm-lined  Croisette  past the famed Palais de Festivals and the grand hotels of the Belle Epoque, their white facades looking out across the superyachts clustered in the port.  Cannes  is a town of sophisticated piano bars, trendy super-clubs and casinos, although you can find a bit more local heart in the narrow cobbled lane of the old town, Le Suquet and enjoy  shopping  in the local markets before you hit the designer boutiques. 

Boat trips to the Iles de Lérins Everyone just calls these the Cannes Islands, lying just a short way off the glamorous city of Cannes. Perfect for a dayboat trip, or anchor here overnight to avoid the high berth fees in Cannes.

The larger island is called  SIle Sainte Margherite , a forested island rimmed by little beach coves and perfect clear waters. It is famous for being the place where the Man in the Iron Mask was imprisoned and you can visit his cell, or you can just roam around the island on dirt tracks, birdwatching at the small lake or looking for the hidden sculptures in the fragrant pine and eucalyptus forest. There are only a few houses on the island and no cars, so while it gets busy with tourists and yachts in the summer months it is a lovely place to get back to nature. Spend a day on the beach snorkelling and having picnics, or just float in the water waiting for the snack food boats that come and deliver pizza and sandwiches and wine. A glorious day out.

The other island is  Ile de Saint Honorat , a small island that has been home to a colony of monks for over 1500 years, and where a Cistercian Abbey still produces its own wine. This is an island rich in history, a place that has been pillaged and passed between nations for centuries while remaining a place of pilgrimage and worship almost continuously. There is still a working monastery with 30 monks; the modern abbey is closed to the public but you can visit the  Abbey of Lérins  and the 15th-century fortified monastery. Please dress modestly when visiting the island and note that smoking is forbidden.

Boat trips to Antibes Antibes  has been a port since the time of the Ancient Greeks and Romans, and the Crusaders stopped here on their way to the Holy Land in medieval times. It’s only been in the last 50 years that it has become a mecca for sailing yachts and vast superyachts, which line up on the International Quay like white palaces worth many tens of millions of pounds. You can rent a dayboat here very easily and spend a day pootling around the stunning  Cap d’Antibes , where tremendous villas owned by oligarchs and old aristocratic families loom high over the sea. There are gorgeous coves and beaches and a lovely high coastal path on the cliffs that will take you to the grotto at Millionaire’s Bay. Or you can take to dry land wander through the narrow cobbled lanes of old Antibes, taking in Provencal markets that smell of lavender and visiting the Picasso museum that sits high in a tower on the ancient ramparts.

Boat trips to Nice Nice  is a large and exciting city with lots to see and do. Spend a day at one of the  beach clubs  along the pebble beach or wander along the famed  Promenade des Anglais , passing the magnificent  Hotel Negresco  with its iconic dome. 

Although it's what’s around the corner that makes this stretch of coast so special for a boat trip or boating holiday.

Boat trips around Monaco Cap Saint Jean Ferrat  is a famous headland covered in grand villas with spectacular gardens and a lovely coastal path along the cliffs. There’s an exceedingly posh hotel (the  Grand Hotel du Cap Ferrat ), a small beach and a whole host of yachts anchored off the point. Some superyachts spend weeks and even months anchored here in the summer as their guests flit between villa and yacht. It’s all rather refined, and very, very pretty.

Villefranche-sur-Mer  is probably our favourite of all the small port towns along the coast. Clinging on to the cliffs that run all the way from Nice to Monaco, this splendidly pretty medieval village and its stunning bay will really catch your eye. It gets quite busy in the summertime, but there’s enough room for you and the fleet of boats and even cruise ships that come to anchor in this little yachting paradise.

Eze  is a medieval village perched high on the cliffs 426m above the sea. An extraordinary sight and one well worth adding to your itinerary. There is a coastal path leading from the pretty pebbled beach (also with a good beach club), but be aware, the trail is very steep and quite slippery. It will take an hour going down, plus an hour and a half to come back.

Cap d’Ail   is   another gorgeous spot just before Monaco.  Plage Mala  is one of the best beaches on the Riviera and good to anchor off. It has a couple of good beach clubs (one very fancy, one very fun), and there’s a brilliant coastal path that runs between the town of Cap d’Ail and Plage Mala. Thoroughly recommended.

Fishing trips

There’s some good deep sea fishing off the coast, with tuna, marlin, swordfish and sea bream, and there are some good tour expeditions running out from major ports along the coast. 

To enjoy a day out on a family fishing trip then we recommend speaking to some of the specialist companies who offer guided trips and excursions or yacht charters for coastal or deep sea fishing. You have a few options for fishing charters with a range of budgets, from 50 euro per person for a casual affair to 2800 for 10 people for the day for the charter of a luxury sports fisher with professional fishermen. Most of the fishing excursions along this stretch of coast operate out of Golfe Juan or Mandelieu-la-Napoule, or in the other direction, out of Beaulieu-sur-Mer, a port between Nice and Monaco. 

Around the  ports and marinas of Monaco , there may be some small local operators who don't have websites - you'll see signs saying 'Peche au Gros' in the port and you can enquire with them directly.

Races & events

The yachting and boating scene on the Cote d’Azur is both wonderfully glamorous and extremely relaxing, and there are certain exciting events where the only way to do them justice is to hire a boat and watch them from the water. If your budget allows, charter a yacht for a week, these events tend to make hotel prices skyrocket ashore, so once you’ve factored in a few couples sharing accommodation on a yacht it can work out surprisingly well.

Some companies will run special boat trips during the major events that are hosted in the area each year, such as the  Monaco Grand Prix . Even if your ‘yacht’ is just a small dayboat, there’s something about being on the water among the megayachts, watching the tenders buzz celebrities about and hearing the whine of the Formula One cars as they race around the Monte Carlo track.

There are  tremendous fireworks displays  in the bay of Cannes in the summertime, and there are few more special ways to see them than anchored off shore, drinking champagne and looking up at the explosions in the sky. The water is busy out here for these events with yachts parked absolutely everywhere, so make sure you really know your navigation rules or get a qualified skipper. Dayboat rental companies require you to have the boat back by 6pm, so this is something to do if you charter a yacht for longer or go with a  company who specialises in this type of boat trip .

The  Cannes Film Festival  which runs in May needs no introduction and is one of the biggest events on the global yachting calendar. Be aware that it is extremely expensive to get your yacht or boat into the port at Cannes during this time, however, this is a time when the superyachts and celebrities are out in grand force, so just being out on the water is an unforgettable experience in itself. The  Monaco Grand Prix  overlaps with the Cannes Film Festival in May, so you could charter a yacht for a week and enjoy both events.

Regatta season begins on the Cote d'Azur in June with the  Voiles d’Antibes , and moves along the coast with  regattas in Cannes  and Saint Tropez in September, with the biennial Monaco Classic Week also in September.

Safety advice

While the coastal winds tend to be quite gentle in the summer months, the south of France is subject to the Mistral, a cold northwesterly wind that can reach up to 100km an hour. The mistral tends to visit in the winter and spring and is particularly violent in the transition between those seasons.

When heading out onto the water along the French Riviera, no matter how close to the coastline, be sure to keep a good eye on the weather and ask at your boat rental company for advice if in doubt. Always bring a waterproof jacket in case the weather turns or a wind comes up, it can get cool on the water at night. Due to lack of space on boats, it's better to pack light and only bring soft luggage, never hard cases. 

The water can get very busy along the Cote d’Azur in the summer so be alert and watch out for other boats and people swimming at all times. If you notice any danger, notify the skipper of the boat as soon as you can. If you think you might get seasick, it’s always best to ask for non-drowsy seasickness tablets at a pharmacy beforehand.

Sailing with Children Make sure children wear a life jacket at all times. Never let them run around the boat or be unattended on deck and make sure they don’t swim alone.
