Perini Navi is an Italian builder based in Viareggio, specialising in large sailing superyachts that have defined the category for decades. The yard’s aluminium ketch and schooner-rigged yachts feature carbon masts, hydraulic furling systems, and computer-controlled sail handling that allows professional crews to manage very large rigs with ease. The resulting yachts combine genuine ocean performance with the interior space and comfort of a crewed superyacht.
Menton is a natural base for a Perini Navi charter on the eastern Riviera. The town’s clear bay and proximity to Monaco and the Italian coast give a sailing yacht space to move freely, and the summer sea breezes from the southwest provide consistent conditions for under-canvas passages. Crews are experienced sailors who manage the rig with skill while delivering the charter programme expected of a superyacht.
Weekly charter rates for Perini Navi yachts in the South of France range from approximately 100,000 to 350,000 euros per week, depending on the yacht and the season. The advance provisioning allowance covers fuel, food, harbour dues, and crew gratuity at around 30 percent of the base fee. The summer season from June to September offers the best sailing conditions; July and August carry peak rates, while June and September offer stronger value.
Sailing east from Menton, a Perini Navi passes Roquebrune-Cap-Martin and reaches Monaco under canvas in under an hour. Cap Ferrat, Nice, and Antibes lie further west on a natural coastal passage. In the opposite direction, Ventimiglia and San Remo open the Italian Riviera, and Portofino and the Cinque Terre reward longer passages for yachts built to make blue-water miles.
