· 6 min read
For a seamless blend of French build quality and Riviera ease, the GUY COUACH 30 yacht charter French Riviera places you exactly where you want to be—between wide-open decks and storied coastlines from Saint‑Tropez to Monaco.
Overview: GUY COUACH 30 for Riviera cruising
French-built and refitted in 2019, GUY COUACH 30 is a 30‑metre yacht conceived for unhurried Mediterranean days. Broad exterior lounges transition naturally from shaded dining to sunpads at bow, giving guests quiet viewpoints over Cap Ferrat or the Lérins anchorages. Indoors, warm finishes and panoramic glazing keep the main salon bright, with generous seating for social time and film nights. With capacity for up to 12 guests and four cabins arranged for multi-night comfort, she suits family escapes and friends travelling together along the Côte d’Azur. Stable handling and strong seakeeping encourage longer passages—Saint‑Tropez to Cannes, Cannes to Monaco—without the fatigue. For a luxury yacht rental French Riviera that prioritises comfort, time and place, GUY COUACH 30 makes the coast’s celebrated bays, islands and beach clubs feel pleasingly close.
Yacht specifications
Essential particulars underscore why GUY COUACH 30 is so well matched to a French Riviera yacht charter.

A crew of three maintains an attentive yet discreet service profile—ideal for private cruising. The 2019 refit refreshed soft furnishings and common areas, keeping the ambience contemporary without losing the feel of a capable cruising yacht. With charter capacity for up to 12 guests in four cabins, she works elegantly for multi-generational groups or couples travelling in company. Whether you embark in Saint‑Tropez, Cannes, Antibes, Nice or Monaco, the scale and layout deliver an easy rhythm between sea days and shore plans.

Onboard experience
Life aboard focuses on generous, versatile spaces. The aft deck is shaded for long lunches—ideal when you’re anchored off Pampelonne or the Baie des Milliardaires—while the bow’s built-in seating forms a quiet nook for sunrise coffee or a sunset apéritif. The salon is kept bright by wide glazing, with warm, tactile finishes that feel welcoming after a swim. Cabins are sized for several nights of comfortable travel, complemented by efficient storage and calm lighting. Deck circulation is intuitive, so adults can linger over conversation while younger guests move between water and lounge. Amenities include towels, linens and soft drinks, with bespoke destination tailoring available on request. For a GUY COUACH 30 charter that balances privacy and time together, this layout keeps everyone close to the sea without crowding.
Best destinations & anchorages from the French Riviera
Classic, well-sheltered anchorages sit within easy reach. From Saint‑Tropez, Pampelonne Bay (Club 55, Gigi, Nikki Beach) is 20–30 minutes under way, with quieter coves around Cap Taillat. Cannes delivers the Îles de Lérins in 15–25 minutes, prized for clear water and pines; Antibes offers La Garoupe and the Baie des Milliardaires on Cap d’Antibes. Eastward, anchor beneath the pastel facades of Villefranche‑sur‑Mer or tuck behind Saint‑Jean‑Cap‑Ferrat for calm evenings; the turquoise pocket at Plage Mala near Cap d’Ail is a favourite lunch stop en route to Monaco. To the west, Porquerolles and Port‑Cros reward a full‑day passage from Saint‑Tropez. Typical cruising times along the coast range 45–120 minutes between hubs, keeping days pleasantly paced for swimming, a shore lunch, and an unrushed return to anchor.
Beach clubs & shore highlights
The French Riviera pairs beautifully with a yacht day that finishes ashore. In Ramatuelle, Pampelonne’s set runs from Club 55 to Gigi Ramatuelle and Nikki Beach; La Réserve à la Plage suits a more unhurried lunch before a late‑afternoon swim. Around Cap d’Antibes, Keller Plage offers a civilised pier landing and excellent water clarity nearby. East of Nice, the bay of Villefranche is a postcard stop for tender runs ashore, while Eze‑sur‑Mer and Cap d’Ail lead naturally toward Monaco’s evening scene. In Cannes, a late pickup from the Croisette after dinner keeps transfers simple. Whatever your shore plan, the crew will coordinate reservations and tender access so timing, tables and transfers align with the sea state and your day.
Sample multi-day itineraries from the French Riviera
Multi‑day cruising rewards a measured pace. Start in Saint‑Tropez for a first night on anchor at Pampelonne or Cap Taillat, then work north toward Cannes and Antibes for island swims and old‑town dinners. Eastbound routes link Villefranche and Cap Ferrat’s coves with a finale in Monaco. Westbound, devote a longer leg to Porquerolles for a day of bicycles and beaches before returning via Cavalaire and the red rocks of the Estérel. Distances are short enough that mornings can be for swims, afternoons for a shore lunch, and evenings for quiet bays—or a late mooring beside the lights of town.
Suggested routes
Two sample outlines to shape your plans:
- 3–4 days: Saint‑Tropez embark; Pampelonne – Cap Taillat – Îles de Lérins – Antibes/Villefranche – Monaco disembark.
- 7 days: Saint‑Tropez – Porquerolles – Pampelonne – Cannes/Îles de Lérins – Antibes – Cap Ferrat – Monaco.
Guest capacity, crew & service
GUY COUACH 30 welcomes up to 12 guests, supported by a professional crew of three. The service approach is polished yet informal: mornings set quietly with coffee on the bow, afternoons tuned around swims and shore plans, and evenings staged for alfresco dinners or a discreet table ashore. Event planning and bespoke destination tailoring are available on request, whether you want a family‑forward cruise, a friends’ long weekend, or a celebratory itinerary. The crew manages reservations, tender transfers and daily timing so days feel fluid rather than scheduled. Four cabins are arranged for multi‑night comfort; your Navélia broker will confirm the latest bedding configuration and any cot/extra‑berth options suitable for your party.
Watersports & toys
Two paddle boards come standard for relaxed sessions around the anchorage. For guests seeking more speed or range, we can arrange rentals of a Seabob, E‑foil or Sublue unit—ideal for the bays of Cap d’Antibes, the clear shallows off the Îles de Lérins or the sheltered waters of Pampelonne. Towels, soft drinks and linens are included, and the crew keeps gear ready so you can move from lunch to water within minutes. Additional toys can be sourced on request subject to availability and local regulations, with instruction organised where needed. If your French Riviera yacht charter includes younger guests, the team can structure low‑impact activities near the boat while adults enjoy a longer swim or a tender run ashore.
Fuel, APA and what’s included
GUY COUACH 30 charters on standard Mediterranean terms. The advertised rate (from €57,600 per week, plus expenses) covers the yacht and crew. An Advance Provisioning Allowance (typically 30–40% of the charter fee) is taken for fuel, food and beverages, berthing away from the home marina, local taxes, and incidental expenses; any balance is reconciled at the end. French VAT is generally applicable to charters embarking in France (currently 20%—subject to regulation). For a day charter French Riviera, fuel is excluded and charged on actual consumption; welcome champagne is not included. Towels, linens and soft drinks are included; premium wines/spirits, additional water toys, private guides, and shoreside transfers are extra. Your Navélia broker will confirm current terms, home port and any delivery fees relevant to your dates.
