· 6 min read
Designed as a private residence at sea, M/Y C brings scale and serenity to Côte d’Azur cruising. M/Y C yacht charter French Riviera offers a seamless blend of wellness, water access, and refined service for discerning groups.
Yacht overview
Delivered by Baglietto in 2021, the 54.2m M/Y C was conceived as a contemporary private residence with generous volume and effortless circulation between decks. Her architecture prioritises privacy, wellness and direct connection to the sea, making her an ideal platform for a French Riviera yacht charter where days often unfold between quiet anchorages and glamorous shore calls. Expansive exterior lounges flow to a substantial beach club with immediate water access, while her pool and Jacuzzi set the tone for relaxed, unhurried living. Indoors, calm, modern spaces support both family time and formal entertaining. With her experienced crew orchestrating service, tenders and toys, M/Y C charter guests move seamlessly from morning swims off Pampelonne to an afternoon tender run to La Guérite or an evening arrival in Monaco. In short, she delivers the scale, amenities and discretion expected on a top-tier superyacht.

Purpose-built for private use and charter, she offers seven cabins to host parties traveling with family, friends and staff.

Onboard experience
Life on board centres around generous exterior living and a wellness-led rhythm. Start on the fore or upper decks with a quiet breakfast before the heat builds, then gravitate to the pool and Jacuzzi through the day. The beach club opens directly to the sea, keeping the toys in play without disrupting the calm of the main decks. Inside, contemporary salons and lounges are designed for conversation and dining without glare or heat, with glazing that frames the coastline without overpowering it. A dedicated wellness area includes a hammam and fitness room, enabling consistent routines during a longer French Riviera yacht charter. An internal elevator simplifies circulation for all ages, allowing grandparents and young children to move comfortably between decks. Even when the toys are launched and the day is active, M/Y C maintains the composure and privacy of a modern residence at sea.
Best destinations & anchorages from the French Riviera
From Saint‑Tropez to Monaco, M/Y C is perfectly scaled for Riviera cruising. Classic anchorages include Pampelonne Bay for long swim days and lunch ashore, the sheltered Baie des Canoubiers near Saint‑Tropez, and the clear shallows off Cap Taillat. Cruising east, Îles de Lérins opposite Cannes offer protected waters ideal for paddleboards and Seabobs, while Villefranche‑sur‑Mer provides a deep, scenic bay close to Nice and Cap Ferrat. La Mala at Cap d’Ail is prized for its dramatic cliffs and electric‑blue water, with Monaco a short hop beyond for a glamorous evening. Each leg is a comfortable coastal passage for a 54m superyacht, with the crew planning timing around traffic, wind and preferred lunch spots. Your captain will calibrate the day so that tenders, toys and shore reservations align naturally with the rhythm of the Côte d’Azur.
Beach clubs & shore highlights
A M/Y C yacht charter French Riviera pairs private anchorages with iconic Riviera addresses reached swiftly by tender. In Saint‑Tropez, Pampelonne’s Club 55, Bagatelle and Nikki Beach remain reliable for lunch in season, while La Réserve à la Plage adds polished service and a refined setting. Around Cannes, La Guérite on Île Sainte‑Marguerite is a perennial favourite reached directly from the yacht. To the east, Paloma Beach on Cap‑Ferrat and Anjuna at Èze‑sur‑Mer welcome arrivals by sea, and Monaco offers an evening circuit from aperitifs to late dining within a compact radius. Shore excursions can be as low‑key as a morning market in Saint‑Tropez or as curated as backstage access during major events in Cannes and Monaco. Your concierge team secures moorings, transfers and tables so the yacht remains your calm centre of gravity.
Sample multi-day itineraries from the French Riviera
Use M/Y C as your mobile residence to stitch together quiet bays and headline addresses. A three‑day escape might open with Saint‑Tropez and Pampelonne, move to the Îles de Lérins for a swim‑heavy day, and conclude with a Monaco evening via La Mala. For a week, begin in Saint‑Tropez, then work east: Cap Taillat, Porquerolles for a nature‑day, Cannes and the Lérins, Cap d’Antibes, Villefranche and Cap‑Ferrat, finishing in Monaco. Distances are modest; the pleasure lies in unhurried mornings at anchor and well‑timed tender hops for lunch and late dinners. The captain will refine routing around weather, port events and preferred beach clubs to ensure smooth tender access and minimal shore‑side waiting.

Guest capacity, crew & service

Thirteen professional crew cover navigation, engineering, interior service, deck operations and watersports instruction. Expect discreet, anticipatory service anchored by a capable purser and a hands‑on chief steward(ess) team, plus deck crew focused on safe, structured activity sessions for all ages. With an elevator serving multiple decks and wide companionways, circulation remains effortless for every guest, even when the yacht is in motion. The galley and service pantries are organised for both sophisticated dining and informal family meals. Whether you prefer a relaxed beach‑club rhythm or a more formal, event‑driven week, the crew calibrate the program to your style.
Watersports & toys
C operates as an RYA water sports centre, enabling structured training and safe operation of powered craft under qualified crew. The toy garage and beach club are designed for rapid launch and recovery so the day stays fluid. Expect high‑energy sessions on the jet skis, e‑foil and wakeboard, alongside low‑impact paddling and snorkeling around clear‑water coves such as the Lérins or Cap Taillat. Where required, appropriate licenses are needed for personal watercraft; the crew will advise on local regulations and can organise instruction subject to conditions.
