Commission a LEMON TREE yacht charter French Riviera for a week shaped by outdoor living, serene anchorages, and seamless wellness. Sanlorenzo’s 61.5m design is purpose-built for slow, elegant cruising between Saint‑Tropez and Monaco.
Yacht overview
LEMON TREE is a 61.5m Sanlorenzo superyacht (2019) conceived as a multi‑level private retreat where deck life and wellness come first. Space is distributed intelligently across every level, with two distinct Jacuzzi zones, broad aft terraces, and a sea‑level gym that opens to the water on three sides. A steel displacement hull with zero‑speed stabilisers keeps life calm at anchor, ideal for the Riviera’s long lunches, late swims, and golden‑hour aperitifs. Her touch‑and‑go helipad and elevator simplify movement without disturbing privacy, while expansive glazing brings the light of the Côte d’Azur inside. For a French Riviera yacht charter focused on unhurried days at Pampelonne, Lérins or Cap Ferrat—with effortless transitions from yoga to lunch to tender‑ashore dinners—LEMON TREE is perfectly attuned. This is contemporary yachting for guests who value time, space and quiet luxury.

Onboard experience
Life onboard prioritises flow. The owner’s deck is unusually private and residential, with a forward‑facing master suite framed by floor‑to‑ceiling glass, a dedicated office, and direct access to a secluded terrace and Jacuzzi forward. Social life naturally divides between the main deck aft—set up for shaded lounging, pool time and alfresco dining—and the upper decks, where panoramic seating captures the coastline. The full‑beam sea‑level gym opens via fold‑down terraces for true indoor‑outdoor training directly above the water, while guests move easily between decks by elevator. Interiors are calm and contemporary, with large windows and refined materials that make the Mediterranean light part of the palette. Supported by a skilled crew of sixteen, service is discreet, well‑timed and highly personalised—whether that’s an early swim platform setup off Cap Taillat, a family movie night at anchor off the Îles de Lérins, or an unhurried tasting menu crafted around local produce.
Best destinations & anchorages from the French Riviera
LEMON TREE’s stability and generous deck plan make her a natural fit for classic Riviera anchorages. Off Saint‑Tropez, anchor in the Baie de Pampelonne for tender‑in lunches at Club 55, Bagatelle or Loulou; Canebiers and Escalet offer quieter waters nearby. Westward, Porquerolles rewards a longer day with translucent bays. Eastbound, the Esterel’s red cliffs give way to Cannes and the Îles de Lérins—ideal for protected swimming between Sainte‑Marguerite and Saint‑Honorat. Continue past Cap d’Antibes to Villefranche‑sur‑Mer’s deep, amphitheatre bay, then to Saint‑Jean‑Cap‑Ferrat for Paloma Beach. Monaco sits a short hop beyond for evenings ashore. Typical unhurried passages: Saint‑Tropez to Pampelonne 20–30 minutes; Saint‑Tropez to Cannes 1.5–2 hours; Cannes to Monaco 2–3 hours, weather and speed permitting. Throughout, her zero‑speed stabilisers keep decks level, so lunches stay composed and glasses steady.
Beach clubs & shore highlights
From LEMON TREE’s tender, the Riviera’s shoreline opens elegantly. In Ramatuelle, Club 55, Nikki Beach, Bagatelle and La Réserve à la Plage line Pampelonne with distinct moods from barefoot lunch to late‑day DJ sets. Around Cap d’Antibes, Hotel du Cap‑Eden‑Roc is an icon for sunset drinks (advance arrangements required), while La Guérite on Île Sainte‑Marguerite offers a celebratory, over‑water setting. East of Nice, Paloma Beach on Cap Ferrat remains a classic for calm water and polished service; Beaulieu‑sur‑Mer and Villefranche provide charming tender landings for dinner on shore. In Monaco, fine dining, the Casino and shopping cluster within minutes of the port, making late‑night returns effortless. Your concierge and captain coordinate berths, tenders and transfers so shoreside days remain punctual and unhurried—precisely the rhythm a luxury yacht rental French Riviera deserves.
