A 50 metre charter yacht on the French Riviera adds a sky lounge, a beach club at the stern and a crew of ten to twelve to what is already one of the finest cruising grounds in the world. The route from Saint-Tropez to Monaco encompasses celebrated ports, sheltered anchorages and some of the most dramatic coastal scenery in the Mediterranean, and a yacht at this length can cover the full stretch in a comfortable week with time to anchor in the best bays along the way.
The South of France fleet at 50 metres draws from the leading European yards: Benetti, Feadship, Amels and Lurssen are all present in the summer charter pool, alongside custom Italian builders. Build dates from 2012 onwards dominate. Interior volumes support a main salon, formal dining and a separate sky lounge, giving guests genuinely distinct spaces.
Weekly rates for a 50 metre charter yacht on the French Riviera run from approximately 100,000 to 220,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance for fuel, provisions, port fees and water sports adds 30 to 35 per cent on top. July and August are the strongest demand months. June and September offer the same Riviera conditions at more competitive rates.
From the western end of the coast at Saint-Tropez to Monaco and Menton in the east, the French Riviera provides a naturally circular itinerary that suits a 50 metre yacht on a one or two week charter.
