A 70 metre superyacht on the French Riviera is among the most impressive ways to experience a coast that has defined luxury travel for over a century. At this length the vessel carries fifteen to eighteen crew, provides an outdoor pool, a cinema, a dedicated water sports bay and multiple deck levels that give twelve or fourteen guests genuine freedom of movement between sunbathing, dining and private space. Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Monaco and all the celebrated anchorages in between are within easy reach.
The 70 metre charter fleet on the Riviera draws from the most respected yards in the world. Feadship, Lurssen, Oceanco and Benetti are all represented in the summer pool. Build dates are typically recent, given the investment involved and the expectations of clients at this price point. Satellite connectivity, stabilisers at anchor and full entertainment systems are standard.
Weekly charter rates for a 70 metre yacht on the French Riviera run broadly from 300,000 to 600,000 euros. The advance provisioning allowance for fuel, food, berths, water sports and gratuity adds 30 to 35 per cent. July and August are the peak months. The Monaco Grand Prix in late May creates a significant secondary window of demand across the entire Riviera.
The full sweep of the Riviera from Saint-Tropez to Menton is a natural two-week itinerary for a 70 metre yacht, with Corsica and Portofino providing extension options for guests who want to leave the main circuit.
