Spend eight hours under sail along the French Riviera aboard a 15-metre private sailboat reserved exclusively for your group. With skipper, fuel, artisanal lunch and hotel pick-up included, this full-day charter focuses on wind-powered cruising, relaxed anchorages and time in the water.
Your day begins with hotel pick-up (one-way) and transfer to Port Gallice in Antibes, where you’ll board the 50-foot sailboat and meet your skipper. After a short safety briefing, you’ll leave the harbour and, weather permitting, switch from engine to sail to experience the quieter rhythm of wind-powered navigation.
The typical route heads towards the Lérins Islands, where protected waters create suitable conditions for anchoring. Once moored in the lagoon, the boat becomes a floating base for swimming and relaxing. Sea-swings suspended over the water and a hammock on deck provide space to unwind, while expansive sunbathing areas and the shaded cockpit offer comfort throughout the day.
Lunch is served on board at anchor. The curated artisanal basket includes regional specialities such as pissaladière, tapenade, charcuterie, fine regional cheeses, fresh bread, organic fruit, bottled water and soft drinks. Guests are welcome to bring their own wine or champagne. After lunch, there is time for further swimming or coastal cruising before returning to Antibes in the late afternoon.
Departure is from Port Gallice in Antibes, providing direct access to the Cap d’Antibes coastline and the Lérins Islands within a short sailing distance.
This stretch of coast offers a combination of sheltered lagoons and open sailing areas depending on wind direction. The skipper adjusts the route according to sea conditions to prioritise comfort and safety throughout the day.
No sailing experience is required. The yacht is fully skippered, and all navigation and manoeuvring are handled by a professional captain.
Nautical activities are subject to weather conditions. If wind or sea state is unsuitable, the route may be adapted. All guests must follow onboard safety guidance at all times.
We focus on genuine sailing rather than purely motor cruising. When conditions allow, the sails are raised to create a quieter and more authentic experience on the water.
The onboard layout is designed for social connection and comfort, with structured seating areas, shaded space and distinctive features such as sea-swings and a hammock. Combined with a curated regional lunch and coordinated logistics, the experience is organised, relaxed and fully private from start to finish.
This is a true sailboat experience. When wind conditions permit, the engine is reduced or switched off and the sails are raised.
However, for safety and scheduling reasons, the skipper may use the engine when required, particularly during harbour manoeuvres or calm conditions.
The sailboat can host up to 12 guests comfortably.
The layout includes open deck areas, shaded cockpit seating and interior space with four double cabins and two bathrooms.
The onboard lunch includes regional specialities such as pissaladière, tapenade, charcuterie and fine cheeses, accompanied by bread, organic fruit, water and soft drinks.
It is designed as a high-quality artisanal picnic served at anchor rather than a restaurant-style meal.
