ALIA YACHTS yacht charter French Riviera | 60m yacht
· 6 min read
Experience ALIA YACHTS yacht charter French Riviera aboard a 60m custom build refitted in 2019, engineered for quiet power, poised decks, and effortless days between Saint‑Tropez, Cannes and Monaco.
A 60m superyacht shaped for Riviera cruising
Built in 2016 and refitted in 2019, this 60m Alia superyacht blends refined engineering with a warm, contemporary ambiance—exactly what the French Riviera rewards. Expansive exterior decks flow from a shaded aft terrace to a wide sun deck with open views, ideal for long lunches at anchor off Pampelonne or Îles de Lérins. Stabilizers underway and at anchor keep the yacht level while you cross from Saint‑Tropez to Cannes, and the beach club with hydraulic platform turns every bay into your private water’s edge. With accommodation for 12 guests, she is optimized for multi‑night cruising rather than quick hops, yet her tenders make shore access swift for reservations ashore. For a French Riviera yacht charter, few platforms offer this balance of space, discretion and seaworthiness.
Specifications that matter
Key particulars define how comfortably a superyacht moves and how well it serves guests at sea. This 60m Alia is designed for capable, quiet passages along the Côte d’Azur and generous living areas once you arrive. Twin MTU 16V4000 engines supply reliable range and speed, while stabilizers at anchor smooth out nights in roadsteads such as Villefranche‑sur‑Mer. The layout supports 12 guests across six cabins, with crew of 15 delivering attentive, hotel‑grade service without intrusion. It’s a purposeful platform for families, friends and hosted business alike—engineered to deliver the Riviera in unhurried style.

Onboard life: interiors, decks and wellness
Inside, the tone is quietly luxurious: light woods, tactile textiles and generous glazing that frames the shoreline. Salons are arranged for proper conversation, with discreet media and a formal dining option for cooler evenings. Cabins—five doubles and one convertible—accommodate 12 guests with abundant storage for extended trips. On deck, the sun deck carries a jacuzzi with panoramic views, while the aft terraces stage al fresco breakfasts and shaded afternoons. A beach club at water level creates a private resort feel, and the hydraulic platform makes stepping into tenders effortless. Wellness is woven in: a compact gym set‑up for morning workouts, a sauna for unwinding after a swim, and lounging areas proportioned for long, comfortable days at anchor. It’s an elegant, highly functional environment for a luxury yacht rental French Riviera.
Destinations and anchorages along the coast
From Saint‑Tropez to Monaco, the yacht’s range and stability let you choose the rhythm. Classic anchorages include Pampelonne Bay for lunch and watersports; Cap Taillat and Escalet for clear water and lighter crowds; Îles de Lérins off Cannes for emerald shallows with mooring buoys; Cap d’Antibes for late‑day swims off La Garoupe; and the amphitheater of Villefranche‑sur‑Mer for sheltered overnights. East of Cap‑Ferrat, Mala Cove and Monaco invite stylish evenings ashore. Typical cruising times: Saint‑Tropez to Cannes 2.5–3 hours; Cannes to Monaco 2–2.5 hours, subject to conditions and speed. Your captain will plan routes around Posidonia protections and prevailing winds, balancing scenic passages with unhurried time at anchor. It’s the French Riviera at its best—seen from your own terrace on the sea.
Beach clubs and shore experiences
Aboard, days fall easily into a Riviera cadence: swim, lunch, siesta, then step ashore by tender. Reserve a table at Club 55, Bagatelle or Byblos Beach on Pampelonne; La Réserve à la Plage for a more culinary focus; La Guérite on Île Sainte‑Marguerite for an island afternoon; Keller on Cap d’Antibes for a classic setting; Anjuna or La Mala for cliff‑backed coves; and Paloma Beach on Saint‑Jean‑Cap‑Ferrat for golden‑hour swims. In Cannes, tender to the Croisette for boutiques; in Monaco, arrive into Port Hercule for dinner and the Casino. Our shore coordination aligns tender timing with your reservations and manages transfers discreetly. For those considering a day charter French Riviera experience, the yacht’s large tenders make shuttling seamless, while onboard service ensures you return to a perfectly set table at sunset.
Sample multi-day itineraries from the Riviera
Design your week around light, wind and your calendar. A popular loop begins in Saint‑Tropez, arcs via Cannes and Antibes, and closes in Monaco—each leg balanced between scenic runs and time at anchor. Prefer shorter escapes? A three‑night plan can keep you between Pampelonne, Îles de Lérins and Villefranche for maximum water time. The yacht’s crew coordinates restaurant reservations, beach access and late‑night tendering so the schedule feels effortless.

A seasoned crew of 15 manages operations, service and shoreside logistics, from a polished breakfast service to covert tender shuttles at night. Privacy stays paramount. The service style is anticipatory, with menus tailored to preference sheets and a sommelier‑minded approach to wine. Whether you plan a business lunch off Cannes or a week between Saint‑Tropez and Monaco, the crew’s local knowledge streamlines moorings, beach reservations and late‑night returns.
Watersports and tenders
At water level, the beach club becomes your launch pad. A 12.50 m tow tender and 6.50 m RIB handle swift shore moves and tow sports. The toy garage carries 2 Seadoo jetskis, 3 Seabobs, 2 electric foils, 2 kayaks, stand‑up paddles, a jetboard, an inflatable slide and an island‑party banana—plus snorkeling and diving gear. The hydraulic platform simplifies swimming and toy launches, while crew supervise operations to match sea state and local rules. For guests without a personal PWC license, rides can be chauffeured or instruction arranged where permitted. It’s a comprehensive set‑up for play in clear, protected bays—a hallmark of an ALIA YACHTS charter on the Côte d’Azur.
