· 6 min read
For those drawn to grand-yet-relaxed cruising, an OCEANOS yacht charter French Riviera pairs Italian build pedigree with generous outdoor living. This 49.2m Mondomarine, refitted in 2021, is designed for effortless Riviera days and unhurried evenings at anchor.
Yacht overview
Built by Mondomarine and refitted in 2021, OCEANOS is a 49.2m tri-deck superyacht tailored to the rhythms of the Côte d’Azur. Broad teak decks, shaded lounges and a sociable aft arrangement bring guests close to the waterline for long, convivial meals after a swim. The sundeck—complete with jacuzzi and barbecue—sets the tone for easy, open-air living, while the master’s private terrace offers rare seclusion when you want it. A strong displacement hull keeps passages predictable, so coastal hops from Saint‑Tropez to Cannes or Monaco remain smooth. If your brief is unhurried elegance, family comfort and true range along the coast, OCEANOS delivers the right balance for a French Riviera yacht charter.

The layout has been considered for privacy on longer programs, with suites distributed to create quiet retreats and communal hubs that connect naturally to deck spaces. Her volume allows for both formal dining and casual salon lounging, supported by generous storage and service areas for seamless, attentive hospitality throughout your charter.
Onboard experience
Inside, OCEANOS blends Italian styling with relaxed, beach‑house warmth. The main salon invites lingering—think morning papers, espresso and an easy transition to the shaded aft deck for lunch. The sky lounge suits family movie nights or pre‑dinner cocktails with views through broad windows. Outside, the sundeck is the social heart: a jacuzzi, large sunpads, alfresco dining under a hardtop, and a barbecue for the chef’s grill evenings. A Portuguese Bridge lounge forward becomes a tranquil nook underway or at anchor. The master suite’s private terrace provides a discreet escape for sunrise or a nightcap. Streaming services, curated movie libraries and flexible lighting set the tone after dark, while thoughtful details—quiet corners, well‑placed dayheads, smooth circulation—keep the day flowing.
Best destinations and anchorages along the Côte d’Azur
From Saint‑Tropez, idle down to Pampelonne Bay for lunch ashore and a late swim off the stern; the anchorage sits a short tender hop from the beach clubs. Cannes places the Îles de Lérins within 15–20 minutes, with glass‑calm water between Sainte‑Marguerite and Saint‑Honorat ideal for paddleboards and SeaBobs. Eastward, Cap d’Antibes to Cap‑Ferrat delivers classic Riviera scenery and protected coves—Paloma Bay and Villefranche’s deep natural harbour are reliable for a restful night. Monaco offers glamorous arrivals and quick access to La Mala. For a longer day, plot a course to Porquerolles’ pine‑scented bays west of Saint‑Tropez. With OCEANOS’ stable hull and expansive decks, passages remain comfortable, and the crew will position you for sunset light and unhurried mornings at anchor.
Beach clubs and shore highlights
Your tender run from the anchorage brings the Riviera’s institutions within easy reach. In Ramatuelle, Club 55, Nikki Beach and Bagatelle set the tempo on Pampelonne, while Loulou and Verde bring a refined lunch scene. Off Cannes, La Guérite on Sainte‑Marguerite works well for a barefoot afternoon before a calm return to the yacht. Around Cap‑Ferrat, Paloma Beach and the terrace at the Grand‑Hôtel du Cap‑Ferrat offer timeless viewpoints; near Cap d’Ail, La Réserve de la Mala pairs turquoise water with a cliff‑side setting. For cocktails and people‑watching, Saint‑Tropez’s Vieux Port and Monaco’s Port Hercule are the Riviera’s theatre. OCEANOS’ crew choreographs tender logistics and berth arrangements where available, keeping shore time seamless within your luxury yacht rental French Riviera.
Sample multi‑day itineraries from the French Riviera
From a long weekend to a full week, OCEANOS lends itself to unhurried cruising with short hops and time at anchor. Expect 30–60 minute passages between Saint‑Tropez, Cannes and Antibes; around 1.5–2 hours between Monaco and Cannes depending on conditions. Your captain will refine timings to the season and your plans.

Guest capacity, crew and service
Seven cabins welcome up to 12 guests, ideal for multi‑generational families or two families traveling together. Suite separation preserves privacy on longer programs, allowing early risers, nappers and night owls to keep their own rhythms. With 11 crew, service remains anticipatory yet discreet—beach set‑ups pre‑positioned before you return from lunch, children’s meals timed to the day, and a bar that remembers preferences. The salon’s dual‑purpose design supports a formal dinner one night and a relaxed, barefoot gathering the next. Predicable motion from the displacement hull keeps all generations comfortable, while the tender team ensures smooth shore runs to clubs and restaurants during a busy French Riviera yacht charter season.
Watersports and toys
Families find days fly by aboard OCEANOS. The locker is primed for action: SeaBobs for darting over seagrass meadows, eFoils for quiet carving when the bay settles, waverunners for bursts of speed outside swimming zones, paddleboards for calm mornings, and a full inflatable aquapark that turns the stern into a playground. After activity, ease into the sundeck jacuzzi or claim the forward Portuguese Bridge lounge for a breeze‑cooled read. Fitness equipment—yoga mats and resistance gear—supports a simple wellness routine, and evenings gather everyone for movie nights and stargazing. The crew sets safe operating areas and tender support according to local regulations, so you enjoy a carefree day charter French Riviera feel even on a longer itinerary.
Fuel, APA and what’s included
The charter fee covers the yacht, her permanent crew and standard equipment. Operating costs are additional via an Advance Provisioning Allowance (typically 30–40% of the charter fee) to cover fuel, food and beverages, marina/anchorage fees, local taxes/VAT as applicable, and incidental expenses. For French departures, fuel is excluded on day charters and welcome champagne is not included; provisioning is tailored to your preferences from the APA. Jet fuel for tenders and toys, transfers and any shore reservations are also drawn from the APA. Berth requests in Saint‑Tropez, Cannes or Monaco are subject to availability and charged at cost. Please refer to OCEANOS availability & pricing for current rates and a proposal aligned to your dates and cruising plan.
