Our tips for a perfect stay
- Book early: the most beautiful yachts are quickly reserved, especially for July and August. Booking the boat of your choice now also guarantees your berths at each port of call. Please note that some ports fill up very quickly.
- Communicate with your captain. Once you have made your booking, we will ensure full communication with your captain, who will be your point of contact for personalising your stay. He will suggest the itinerary best suited to your needs, advise you and manage his team to ensure perfect service on board. Ask for the boat’s crew profile to find out more about him.
- Choose the best dates: June and September are perfect months in the Mediterranean: fewer people, more peace and quiet, better weather. But you can also keep an eye on the biggest events on the French Riviera so you can plan your holiday around the must-see dates..
