A yacht charter transforms any special occasion into an unforgettable experience. From intimate proposals at sunset to milestone birthday parties with 20 guests, the French Riviera provides the ultimate backdrop.
Birthday Celebrations
A birthday yacht charter is the most exclusive way to celebrate on the Riviera. Your chef prepares a custom birthday menu, the crew decorates the yacht, and you can cruise to the birthday guest's favourite destination. Options include beach club visits (Nikki Beach, Club 55), live DJ sets on the sundeck, and fireworks displays from anchor.
Marriage Proposals
The perfect proposal needs the perfect setting. Picture this: cruising past Saint-Tropez as the sun sets, a private dinner for two on the aft deck, champagne chilling, and a ring box hidden with the dessert. Our crew discreetly sets everything up and can arrange a photographer on a following tender to capture the moment.
Anniversaries & Honeymoons
Multi-day charters are ideal for anniversaries and honeymoons. Wake up in a new bay each morning, enjoy couples' treatments arranged on deck, and dine under the stars. Popular routes include Saint-Tropez to Porquerolles, Monaco to the Italian Riviera, or a full week exploring Corsica.
Corporate Events & Team Building
Yacht charters are increasingly popular for corporate retreats, client entertainment, and team building. Options include multi-yacht regattas, networking cocktails in Monaco harbour, product launches on the sundeck, and conference setups with AV equipment. Our team handles all logistics and catering.
