Private Sailboat Charter from Antibes: Lerins Islands, Lunch and Transfers Included
A full day of sailing, swimming, and gourmet pleasures on the Mediterranean
A private sailboat charter from Antibes offers one of the most authentic ways to experience the French Riviera, far from the crowded shorelines and tourist circuits. Aboard a 50-foot sailing vessel, guests enjoy exclusive use of the boat, a skipper, and a curated lunch sourced from local artisans.
The moment the engine cuts and the sails fill with the Mediterranean breeze, a different rhythm takes over. The hull moves quietly through the water, and the coastline of the Riviera unfolds from a perspective that few visitors ever encounter. This is not a guided tour; it is a private day at sea shaped by the group's own pace.
Departing from the port of Antibes, the route leads toward the Lerins Islands, where the boat anchors in a sheltered lagoon. The water here is calm, clear, and ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, and snorkeling. The protected natural setting creates a sense of seclusion that is rarely found this close to the Cote d'Azur.
For groups seeking a longer journey, a crossing to Saint-Tropez is available on request. The experience remains entirely private throughout, with the skipper managing all navigation while guests focus entirely on relaxation. Round-trip transfers from the accommodation to the port are included in the booking.
Tour Highlights
Exclusive use of a 50-foot sailboat with a professional skipper for a full 8-hour day on the Mediterranean.
A gourmet Panier Gourmand lunch served on deck, featuring Pissaladiere, Tapenade, Charcuterie, and regional cheeses from local artisans.
Anchor stop at the Lerins Islands for swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboarding in a naturally sheltered lagoon.
Complimentary private round-trip transfers included between the guests' accommodation and the departure port in Antibes.
On-deck sea-swings suspended over the water and a hammock offer a distinctive and relaxed way to enjoy the open sea.
Below deck, the vessel features 4 double cabins, 2 bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen for added comfort and convenience.
Optional crossing to Saint-Tropez available upon request for groups wanting to extend the journey along the Riviera coast.
How the Day Unfolds
The day begins with a complimentary private transfer from the guests' accommodation to the departure point at the port of Antibes. The skipper greets the group dockside and provides a briefing before departure.
Once the sails are raised, the boat leaves Antibes harbor and begins its course toward the Lerins Islands. The coastline of the Cote d'Azur is visible throughout the crossing, offering sweeping views of the shore and surrounding hills.
The skipper drops anchor in the protected lagoon near the Lerins Islands, creating a natural private swimming area. Guests can swim, snorkel, and use the paddleboard in calm, clear water.
A curated Panier Gourmand is served on deck, featuring Pissaladiere, Tapenade, fresh Charcuterie, and regional cheeses alongside fresh bread, soft drinks, and water. Guests are welcome to bring their own wine or champagne.
The afternoon is spent relaxing on the expansive sunbathing areas, in the sea-swings, or in the shaded cockpit. The skipper then sets course back to Antibes port at a pace suited to the group.
Upon docking, the included private transfer returns all guests to their accommodation. Groups requesting a Saint-Tropez crossing should note that additional fuel costs apply for that route.
