Best destinations & anchorages from Cannes
Cannes rewards short hops with high impact. The Îles de Lérins—Sainte‑Marguerite and Saint‑Honorat—offer turquoise shallows and pine‑scented coves ideal for a first swim. Slide east to Cap d’Antibes for protected anchorages at La Garoupe, or continue into the deep‑blue amphitheatre of Villefranche‑sur‑Mer. Westward, the Estérel’s red porphyry cliffs frame quiet inlets near Théoule‑sur‑Mer. With LEOPARD 24’s pace, you can thread two or three stops into a single day without rushing. Moor for lunch, swim between courses, then idle back past the Croisette as the afternoon softens. If you prefer a longer push, Saint‑Tropez remains very feasible, especially with an early start and settled seas—proof that a French Riviera yacht charter can be both relaxed and rewarding in equal measure.

Beach clubs & shore highlights
Cannes offers polished shore time within easy reach of prime anchorages. Make landfall at La Guérite on Sainte‑Marguerite for lunch steps from the water, or return to the Croisette for the revived Carlton Beach Club or La Môme Plage. Eastward, Plage Keller at La Garoupe pairs well with a Cap d’Antibes swim stop, while the Hotel du Cap‑Eden‑Roc’s legendary pontoon—tender access permitting—remains a Riviera classic for late‑day refreshments. Farther afield, Paloma Beach on Cap‑Ferrat or the bayside terraces of Villefranche deliver postcard settings without the crowding of high‑season Cannes. Your crew will pre‑book moorings and time tender runs for smooth arrivals. A LEOPARD 24 charter keeps the logistics effortless so your group can focus on the table, the view, and the afternoon light.

Fuel, APA and what’s included
French Riviera day charters are priced for the yacht and crew; fuel is charged separately based on actual consumption. There is no automatic welcome champagne. Soft drinks, catering, toys, and shore services are by arrangement. Local VAT applies under French charter regulations. Marina fees away from the agreed embarkation point, private moorings, and beach‑club tenders are billed by third parties. An Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is generally not used for day charters; for multi‑day itineraries, an APA may be added to cover fuel, berths, and onboard provisioning as per your contract. We will give you a route‑specific fuel estimate ahead of time so you can plan clearly, and update it on the day according to conditions and pace.
