For those who favour contemporary lines and generous volume, an Infinity Nine yacht charter French Riviera places you at the heart of the Côte d’Azur with poise. Launched in 2022, this 35m explorer-style superyacht balances quiet comfort with purposeful deck spaces for Riviera living.
Yacht overview
Built for modern Mediterranean cruising, Infinity Nine is a 35.2m AVA Yachts design with the range and poise to roam the French Riviera with ease. Panoramic glazing brightens her lounges, while broad, well-planned decks create natural zones for sun, shade and seamless indoor-outdoor living. She reads as calm and contemporary rather than ostentatious—ideal for low-key arrivals at Pampelonne, Cap d’Antibes or Îles de Lérins. A professional crew of seven ensures days unfold smoothly, whether you prefer a slow morning at anchor, a transfer ashore for lunch, or an active afternoon on the water. For guests considering a luxury yacht rental French Riviera that prioritises space, stability and refined comfort, Infinity Nine delivers a balanced platform perfectly suited to multi-day coastal itineraries from Saint-Tropez to Monaco.

AVA Yachts’ explorer-inspired profile brings purposeful lines and generous deck footprints without sacrificing elegance. Built in 2022, her systems and stabilisation are reassuringly modern, keeping passages quieter and mealtimes unruffled even when the afternoon breeze picks up along the coast.

Onboard experience
Inside, clean-lined contemporary interiors are framed by full-height windows, bringing the colour of the Riviera into the salon and dining area. The atmosphere is relaxed and uncluttered, with intuitive circulation between lounge, bar and aft deck. On the sun deck, a Jacuzzi, shaded dining and an outdoor cinema set the tone for unhurried evenings at anchor. Forward, a quiet bow lounge sits away from the main social hub—perfect for reading or a private aperitif. Air conditioning, Wi‑Fi and a refined sound system are standard, while gym equipment enables a light workout when the mood strikes. Underway and at anchor stabilisers reduce roll, and the crew’s discreet service rhythm means your day moves seamlessly from breakfast to beach club to sunset cinema.
Best destinations & anchorages from the French Riviera
Infinity Nine’s scale and draft make her a comfortable match for the Riviera’s classic bays and protected coves. Close to Saint‑Tropez, Pampelonne’s moorings set you within tender range of the beach clubs; Cap Taillat and Cavalaire offer quieter, glassy waters. Off Cannes, the Îles de Lérins provide clear, sheltered anchorages with pine-scented shores—typically 15–20 minutes from Cannes by tender. Further east, Cap d’Antibes, the deep bay of Villefranche‑sur‑Mer and the headlands of Saint‑Jean‑Cap‑Ferrat deliver postcard backdrops with reliable protection. From Monaco, expect 30–45 minutes to Cap Ferrat or La Mala depending on conditions. For longer hops, Porquerolles adds a day of island cruising west of Saint‑Tropez. Your captain will refine selections to wind and swell on the day.
Beach clubs & shore highlights
The Riviera’s shore life pairs naturally with Infinity Nine’s swift tender access. Reserve a table at iconic Pampelonne addresses—Club 55, Nikki Beach, Bagatelle or Gigi Ramatuelle—then return to the yacht for a swim and sunset on the foredeck. Around Cannes, La Guérite on Île Sainte‑Marguerite is a lunch-to-dusk institution best reached by boat. On Cap d’Antibes, Plage Keller offers clear-water swimming beneath the headland, while Paloma Beach on Cap Ferrat remains a timeless favourite. East of Monaco, La Mala’s amphitheatre bay rewards an early arrival when the water is still. Evenings might mean a stroll through the Vieux Port of Saint‑Tropez, cocktails in Cannes, or a late reservation in Monaco—your crew coordinates tenders and car services so transitions feel effortless.
Sample multi-day itineraries from the French Riviera
Infinity Nine is optimised for multi-day charters, with ample storage, generous deck areas and stabilised comfort for passages between ports. Below are two illustrative routes; timings adapt to weather and your pace. A tailored plan will be finalised with your captain once your preferences are known.
Suggested routes
Flexible outlines for a long weekend or a full week afloat.
- 3–4 nights: Saint‑Tropez embarkation – Pampelonne – Cap Taillat – Îles de Lérins (overnight off Sainte‑Marguerite) – Cap d’Antibes – disembark Cannes or Antibes.
- 7 nights: Saint‑Tropez – Porquerolles (optional) – Pampelonne – Cannes & Îles de Lérins – Cap d’Antibes – Villefranche‑sur‑Mer – Saint‑Jean‑Cap‑Ferrat – Monaco.
Guest capacity, crew & service
With accommodation for up to 12 guests in six ensuite cabins, Infinity Nine suits extended families or two households travelling together. The crew of seven balances a polished service style with a relaxed Riviera cadence—proactive when needed, discreet when you prefer privacy. Expect attentive housekeeping, thoughtful table settings and seamless shoreside arrangements. While cabin allocation is finalised at booking, the yacht’s volumes ensure equal comfort across the guest spaces, and deck zones allow different age groups to spread out: sun deck for the social core, bow for quiet lounging, swim platform for water toys. For a refined yet approachable French Riviera yacht charter, the onboard rhythm feels effortlessly well‑judged.
Watersports & toys
Infinity Nine’s toy locker is set for active days. Expect jetskis, Seabobs, an e‑foil, paddle boards, wakeboard, waterskis, snorkelling gear and an inflatable towable lineup, all supported by a capable tender for smooth beach and restaurant transfers. The crew will stage the day to your preference—high‑energy mornings followed by a shaded lunch and a relaxed afternoon swim, or vice versa. In French waters, a recognised licence is required to drive personal watercraft; without one, the crew can organise alternative activities such as towables or Seabob sessions. As always, water toy use is subject to local regulations, weather and captain’s discretion to ensure safety and serenity for everyone aboard.
Fuel, APA and what’s included
Weekly charters are typically contracted on MYBA terms. The charter fee includes the yacht, crew and standard equipment, with insurance for the vessel and crew. Running expenses are advanced via an APA (generally 30–40% of the fee) to cover fuel, food and beverages, berthing, shoreside services and incidental costs; any balance is accounted at the end of the cruise. Local VAT applies according to embarkation and itinerary. Crew gratuity is discretionary. For a day charter French Riviera, fuel is excluded and invoiced per consumption; welcome champagne is not included. Exact terms for Infinity Nine—including current rate from €120,000 per week plus expenses—are confirmed on the yacht’s listing and refined by your Navélia broker during proposal and contract.
Why choose Infinity Nine for the French Riviera
For travellers weighing options for an Infinity Nine charter or a comparable platform, several traits stand out. Her generous beam improves stability during coastal passages and at anchor, while the modern interior sets a composed, contemporary tone. Deck spaces are logically arranged for dining, resting and sea‑level access, and six ensuite cabins are properly sized for multi‑day living. Performance is tuned for consistent, comfortable cruising rather than sprinting between ports, which suits the Riviera’s short hops. Finally, a purposeful bow lounge offers a quiet retreat away from the main social areas—ideal for a sunrise coffee before the first tender ashore for lunch.

Frequently asked questions
What is the weekly rate for Infinity Nine on the French Riviera?
Infinity Nine is typically offered from €120,000 per week plus expenses (APA, VAT, and any berthing). Rates vary by season and event weeks. Your broker will confirm current pricing and availability on the yacht’s listing before issuing a formal proposal.
Can I book Infinity Nine for a single day on the French Riviera?
Infinity Nine is primarily scheduled for multi‑day and weekly charters. Limited day charter opportunities may be possible around existing bookings and outside peak weeks; fuel is charged per consumption and welcome champagne is not included. Enquire with your dates and preferred port for options.
How many guests can Infinity Nine accommodate?
Up to 12 guests can sleep aboard in six ensuite cabins. As with most commercially registered superyachts, statutory rules typically limit cruising to 12 guests in addition to crew. Your charter manager will advise based on your party’s composition and plans.
What does the APA cover, and how much should I budget?
The Advance Provisioning Allowance (generally 30–40% of the charter fee) covers variable running costs such as fuel, provisioning, berthing, local taxes, and shoreside services. The captain accounts for all spend; any unused balance is returned, or overage is settled at disembarkation.
When is the best season for a French Riviera yacht charter?
The core season runs May to October. Peak months are July and August, when marinas and beach clubs are busiest. Shoulder months—May, June, September and early October—offer warmer water than spring, calmer reservations and often excellent cruising conditions.
Do I need a licence to use the jet skis?
In France, a recognised personal watercraft licence is required to drive a jetski independently. Without one, the crew can suggest alternative toys such as Seabobs, paddle boards or towables, subject to local regulations and weather.
Where can we embark and disembark?
Common embarkation points include Saint‑Tropez, Cannes, Antibes, Nice and Monaco, subject to berth availability and your itinerary. At busy times, the yacht may anchor off and collect you by tender for a faster, more flexible start to the cruise.
