8 Day French Riviera Charter Itinerary - Antibes to Monte-Carlo

Enjoy breakfast with a view as you cruise around the bay towards Pampelonne Beach. While its invariably popular for its fine-as-flour-sand and calm blue sea, this stretch of coast is also renowned for its unbeatable party scene. There are plenty of beach clubs to choose from; you can read our insider's guide to the best new beach clubs in St Tropez to find the one that best suits you and your charter party. 

Enjoy a morning of splashing in the sea and playing with the water toys. Then, take a tender straight up to the shore and enjoy a VIP entrance to Club 55. With a private jetty, exclusive souvenir shop and dining venue that's usually wall-to-wall with celebrities, this beach club is one of the original and best.

Alternatively, opt for a truly chic experience at Loulou. This bohemian beach club celebrates the old-school Riviera culture with its flavour-forward menu and sophisticated scene. For something with more of a party vibe, head to Verde Beach for no-holds-barred fun and dancing on the tables. If you still have the energy, round off the first full day of your yacht charter at Les Caves du Roy, the hippest nightlife venue in St Tropez.

Cannes exudes opulence and is famed for its popularity amongst the A-list elite; but before you step onshore, stop off at the Lerins Islands just off the coast. Here, you'll discover La Guerite, a celebrity-approved beach club where you can enjoy slick beats, cool drinks, and a laid-back ambience. 

Once anchored in Vieux Port or Port Pierre Canto, walk the promenade and discover the excellent shopping opportunities along La Croisette, which includes the likes of Gucci, Chanel, and Hermes. Alongside these elaborate shopfronts, you'll also find boutique souvenir shops and local art shops. 

The nightlife of Cannes provides excitement and mystique, with venues like Medusa offering nightly cabaret shows alongside decadent dining. Meanwhile, Baoli has a hip and happening scene with live DJ sets and sparkler-topped magnums of Dom Perignon sailing through the crowds.

The location feels as though it’s trapped in a postcard-perfect time and untouched by the amenities and technologies of today. With stone cobbled streets, pastel-hued houses stacked against tall hills, and fishermen still bringing in their catch every morning, it is no surprise why this charming city is so popular with visitors. Although the streets are lined with market stalls, you will still find plenty of little boutiques selling top tier clothing and accessories.

Wandering the narrow cobbled streets, you'll find yourself completely enthralled by the simplicity of the lifestyle and atmosphere here. That is until evening rolls over, and the town becomes full of life and overflows with lively restaurants and bars.

With its immaculate streets, elegant architecture and wall-to-wall designer shops, Monaco is the perfect place to end a yacht charter vacation in style. Dock in Port Hercules, and you'll be right in the centre of the action; admire the pretty frontage of Sainte Devote Chapel, then meander up the winding streets of Monte Carlo to the famous casino. A table at Cafe des Paris guarantees you the best vantage for people-watching and watching the prestige cars roll past, and you can treat yourself to a sorbet and espresso while you soak up the scenery.

In terms of evening entertainment, Monaco is one of the most happening hotspots on the Riviera. Expect buzzy bars and sleek nightclubs where you're guaranteed the party experience of a lifetime. Start with an aperitif at Buddha-Bar, then head to Coya for Latin-American fusion overlooking the water. 

For the ultimate dinner-and-a-show experience, make Twiga your first choice. Enjoy Japanese dining in the restaurant, then watch as the venue transforms into an upscale nightclub with dazzling light shows, live DJ sets, and blast-from-the-past beats. The ultimate way to end your yacht charter with a bang!
