The French Riviera has always been a prestigious destination where elegance, gastronomy, nature and art of living meet. While it is world-renowned for its beaches, iconic ports and hilltop villages, it is also home to some of the most beautiful golf courses in Europe.
What if you no longer had to choose between your passion for golf and your desire to sail?
Aboard a private yacht, each day becomes a new step in your journey. You play on the most prestigious courses of the French Riviera before finding the comfort of a true floating five-star hotel. Between two parties, your crew takes care of everything: navigation, catering, relaxation and organization of stopovers.
At Christel Pocachard Yachting, we create entirely tailor-made experiences that allow you to combine golf, sailing and discovering the Côte d’Azur in the same stay.

Why combine golf and yachting?
At first glance, these two universes seem different. Yet they share the same values: calm, precision, a taste for excellence and the search for exclusive experiences.
Unlike a classic hotel stay, a yacht cruise allows you to discover several destinations without packing your bags again. Every morning, you wake up in a new bay before joining the golf course of the day.
While some are perfecting their swing, the other passengers are fully enjoying the yacht:
- Swimming in preserved coves
- Paddle, Seabob ou snorkeling
- Massage
- Lunch prepared by the chef
- Shopping inCannes or Monaco
- Relaxing on the flybridge facing the Mediterranean
The yacht becomes a real place of life where everyone composes their holidays according to their desires.
Royal Mougins Golf Resort : an international reference
Located just a few kilometers from Cannes, the Royal Mougins Golf Resort is one of the most famous courses in Europe.
Designed by the architect Robert von Hagge, this course winds between the hills of Provence, pine forests and ancient olive trees. Each hole offers a new panorama and a technical challenge appreciated by experienced players.
Its peaceful environment contrasts with the bustling coastline, offering a moment of serenity before finding your yacht moored in Cannes or Antibes.
After your trip, why not go to the Lérins Islands for a swim in turquoise waters before having dinner facing the sunset?
Terre Blanche : much more than a golf
A few kilometers from the Mediterranean is one of the most beautiful golf estates in France: Terre Blanche.
Its two championship courses, regularly ranked among the best in Europe, appeal to both amateurs and experienced players.
But Terre Blanche is above all a destination where the whole family finds happiness.
During your game, your loved ones can enjoy:
- From the award-winning spa
- Pools
- Fine dining restaurants
- Provencal gardens
- Many activities offered by the domain
This combination of sport, wellness and nature makes Terre Blanche an ideal stopover during a cruise on the French Riviera.
Golf of Saint-Tropez : Play in front of the Mediterranean
Impossible to imagine a golf stay without a stopover in Saint-Tropez.
The Golf Club Saint-Tropez-Gassin offers a technical course perfectly integrated into its natural environment.
The views of the Var hills and the bay make each part particularly pleasant.
After your journey, just find your yacht to continue the day differently.
Your captain can take you to the bay of Pampelonne to have lunch at anchor or book a table in one of the famous beach establishments.
In the late afternoon, nothing prevents you from sailing towards Port Grimaud or the wild coves of Cap Taillat before enjoying an evening in Saint-Tropez.
Monte-Carlo Golf Club : a unique panoramic view
Located at almost 900 metres above sea level, the Monte-Carlo Golf Club offers a totally different experience.
From the course, the view extends over the Principality of Monaco, the Mediterranean and the Alps.
This contrast between mountain and sea makes this golf course one of the most spectacular in the region.
After your game, meet your yacht in the port of Monaco and enjoy an evening between starred restaurants, luxury boutiques or Casino de Monte-Carlo.
An ideal week between golf and navigating
One of the great advantages of a cruise is the freedom it offers.
Here is an example of a route combining golf and yachting.

Day 7 : Back to Antibes

This itinerary can naturally be customized according to your desires, your level of play and the experiences you wish to live.
Why choose a yacht rather than a hotel?
For a golf stay, the yacht offers a freedom that no hotel can offer.
You change the landscape every day without having to pack your bags again.
You benefit from a private chef, a crew entirely dedicated to your comfort and an itinerary built only around your desires.
You can decide on the morning to change your schedule, extend a stopover or navigate to a new destination.
The yacht becomes your private residence, able to follow you everywhere on the French Riviera.
It is this freedom that makes all the difference.
