Best destinations & anchorages from the French Riviera
DEJA TOO is an effortless platform for coastal hops and overnight anchorages along the Côte d’Azur. Expect smooth passages between sheltered bays and lively ports—Saint‑Tropez, Cannes, Antibes, Cap Ferrat, Nice and Monaco—with flexible plans shaped by weather and your pace. Favourite drops include Pampelonne and Cap Taillat near Saint‑Tropez for crystal water, the red‑rock coves of the Estérel near Théoule‑sur‑Mer, and the Îles de Lérins opposite Cannes for swimming and tender‑access lunches. Eastward, the amphitheatre bay of Villefranche‑sur‑Mer, Paloma Beach at Saint‑Jean‑Cap‑Ferrat, and the turquoise shelf at Plage de la Garoupe on Cap d’Antibes are reliably scenic. Porquerolles, west of the Gulf of Saint‑Tropez, rewards an early start with powder‑white sand and pines. Typical cruise times range from 20 minutes between local bays to roughly two hours for longer coastal legs, depending on conditions.
Where to drop anchor
Your captain will suggest the best plan on the day; below are classic, well‑sheltered options.
- Pampelonne Bay (Saint‑Tropez): easy tender access to beach clubs, good holding
- Îles de Lérins (Cannes): clear water, protected swimming, lunch ashore at Île Sainte‑Marguerite
- Cap d’Antibes – La Garoupe: sandy shelves and afternoon snorkelling
- Saint‑Jean‑Cap‑Ferrat – Paloma: dramatic backdrop and late‑day light
- Villefranche‑sur‑Mer: amphitheatre bay with charming shore restaurants
- Eze/Mala: cliff‑lined coves between Cap Ferrat and Monaco
Beach clubs & shore highlights
From relaxed toes‑in‑the‑sand lunches to late‑afternoon energy, the Riviera’s beach scene is best enjoyed by tender. Your crew will pre‑book and coordinate discreet arrivals. In Saint‑Tropez, long‑standing favourites on Pampelonne include Club 55, Nikki Beach, Bagatelle and Loulou Ramatuelle. Around Cannes, La Guérite on Île Sainte‑Marguerite pairs sea‑view dining with a lively afternoon mood. On Cap d’Antibes, Plage Keller at La Garoupe offers classic Riviera simplicity and excellent water clarity. Eastward, Paloma Beach on Cap Ferrat is a postcard setting, while Anjuna at Èze‑sur‑Mer brings bohemian colour to cliff‑backed shores. In Monaco, the Monte‑Carlo Beach Club and Port Hercule’s restaurant scene suit refined evenings. For cultural interludes ashore, Old Antibes, the Picasso Museum, and the Marché Forville in Cannes are all within quick tender or car transfers arranged by the yacht.

Guest capacity, crew & service
Licensed for up to 12 guests and supported by 13 crew, DEJA TOO offers the staffing and discretion expected for a French Riviera yacht charter. Six cabins support family‑forward itineraries: the full‑beam main‑deck master with lounge and study; a nearby single cabin with Pullman (ideal for children, nanny or security); three well‑proportioned doubles; and a twin. Service is attentive yet unintrusive: beach‑day setups ready as you step off the swim platform; sky‑lounge cocktails as the light changes; children’s mealtimes adapted to your schedule. The chef sources locally—rosé and sea‑fresh produce for relaxed lunches—and the deck team manages swift, dry tender transfers to beach clubs and ports. Shore‑side concierge support extends to berths, restaurant reservations and event logistics during peak weeks.
Watersports & toys
DEJA TOO carries a capable toy box suited to both calm mornings and more energetic afternoons. Expect swift setup from the swim platform and considered safety protocols from the deck team. Two Sea‑Doo jetskis and two SeaBobs headline fast fun; an e‑foil and an electric surfboard add quiet, future‑forward glide. For classic tow sports there are wakeboards, waterskis and kneeboards, with inflatable towables for mixed‑age groups. Paddleboards and comprehensive snorkelling gear suit gentler coves, while diving equipment is available for certified guests. Two tenders—a limousine tender for comfortable shore runs and a SOLAS rescue tender—streamline logistics. Use of PWCs is subject to local regulations; a valid PWC licence is required in France, and the crew can arrange an instructor where needed. Beach barbecue setups are carried for shoreline lunches when conditions allow.
