Private Sailboat Charter on the French Riviera with Lunch and Transfers
A full day of Mediterranean freedom aboard a 50-foot sailboat, departing from Antibes
This private sailboat charter on the French Riviera offers a rare combination of unhurried sailing, gourmet dining, and pristine anchorages reserved for your group alone. The moment the engine cuts and the sails fill with the coastal breeze, the pace of the day changes entirely. Every detail, from the round-trip transfer to the artisan lunch served on deck, is arranged in advance so you can focus on the horizon.
Departing from Antibes, the skipper navigates toward the Lerins Islands, where protected waters create a natural lagoon ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. The 50-foot vessel provides generous space for a group of up to twelve, with expansive sunbathing areas on deck and a shaded cockpit for those who prefer to stay cool while watching the coastline pass.
Below deck, four double cabins, two bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen provide the comfort of a private residence at sea. The boat is fitted with sea-swings suspended over the water and a hammock, giving guests the kind of relaxed vantage point that cannot be replicated on a larger vessel. For groups seeking a longer crossing, a passage to Saint-Tropez can be arranged upon request.
The experience is designed to feel effortless. A complimentary private transfer collects guests before departure and returns them afterward, and the skipper manages all navigation so the group is free to simply enjoy the Mediterranean in its most unfiltered form.
What Makes This Charter Stand Out
The skipper drops anchor in the protected lagoon of the Lerins Islands, giving your group a private natural pool far from crowded beaches.
A curated Panier Gourmand is served on board, featuring local Pissaladiere, Tapenade, Charcuterie, and regional cheeses sourced from Riviera artisans.
The 50-foot sailboat accommodates up to 12 guests across four double cabins, two bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen below deck.
A complimentary round-trip private transfer is included, so the logistics of getting to and from the port are handled from the start.
Sea-swings suspended over the water and an on-deck hammock offer two of the most relaxed ways to experience open Mediterranean sailing.
Snorkeling, paddleboarding, and open-water swimming are available at anchor, with equipment accessible directly from the boat.
An optional crossing to Saint-Tropez can be arranged upon request for groups who want to extend the journey along the coast (fuel cost not included).
How the Day Unfolds
Your complimentary round-trip transfer collects the group and brings everyone to the departure point in Antibes. No parking, no logistics, no stress before the sails go up.
The skipper casts off and sets course along the coast. With the engine silenced and the sails drawing the breeze, the boat glides south toward the Lerins Islands while guests settle into the rhythm of the sea.
The boat drops anchor in the protected lagoon, creating a calm swimming area with clear turquoise water. Paddleboards and snorkeling gear are available for those who want to explore below the surface.
The Panier Gourmand is served at the cockpit table, with Pissaladiere, Tapenade, Charcuterie, fresh bread, regional cheeses, soft drinks, and water. Guests are welcome to bring their own wine or champagne.
The afternoon is open for continued swimming, relaxing on the sunbathing deck, or swinging from the sea-swings above the water. The pace is entirely guided by the group.
The skipper navigates back to the port of Antibes as the day winds down. The private transfer returns guests to their starting point, completing a full door-to-deck-to-door experience.
