The eastern Riviera between Nice and Monaco is among the most naturally beautiful coastlines in Europe, and an 80 metre superyacht charter here gives guests access to it in the most exceptional manner available. At this length the vessel carries twenty or more crew, provides an outdoor pool, a gymnasium, a cinema, multiple dining terraces and a full tender and water sports operation from a dedicated beach club. The anchorages of Villefranche-sur-Mer, Beaulieu-sur-Mer and the waters below Eze village itself accommodate yachts of this size.
The pool of 80 metre charter yachts is small globally, and those that operate in the eastern Riviera are among the finest examples of contemporary yacht design from Lurssen, Feadship, Oceanco and a handful of custom Italian and German builders. Build standards are consistently current at this level.
Weekly rates for an 80 metre charter yacht near Eze range from around 500,000 euros for an established vessel to over 1,000,000 euros for a recent launch. The advance provisioning allowance for fuel, food, port fees and expenses adds 30 to 35 per cent on top. July and August are the most sought-after months. The Monaco Grand Prix period in late May is a key secondary demand window.
From the anchorage below Eze village, Monaco is under thirty minutes east and Nice is fifteen minutes west, giving guests the full eastern Riviera circuit from a single base.
