Onboard experience: calm, contemporary, complete
Step inside to a soothing palette curated by Laura Sessa—light woods, tactile fabrics and curated art that invite relaxed conversation. The main salon flows to a shaded aft deck for easy alfresco lunches after a morning swim. Evenings often settle in the sky lounge, where panoramic windows and immersive sound set the tone for film nights or cocktails before dinner. On the sun deck, a jacuzzi anchors a social hub with sunpads and a bar; the bow seating is a quieter perch for sunrise coffee or sunset views of Cap Ferrat. At water level, the beach club becomes the day’s base: seamless access to toys, shaded lounges and a massage room and steam room within the dedicated spa suite, complete with Lumi ice bath. Connectivity is effortless thanks to Starlink, ensuring business or leisure remains uninterrupted.
Best destinations and anchorages along the Riviera
From Saint‑Tropez to Monaco, REVELRY’s range sets a natural rhythm. Anchor off Pampelonne for lunch and an afternoon swim, then cruise 1.5–2.5 hours to Cannes for a Lérins sunset between Sainte‑Marguerite and Saint‑Honorat. Cap d’Antibes’ Baie de la Garoupe offers clear water and a scenic backdrop; Villefranche‑sur‑Mer is a classic overnight, well‑sheltered and close to Nice. Around Cap‑Ferrat, Paloma Bay delivers crystalline mornings before an easy run to Monaco (roughly 45–75 minutes from Antibes depending on conditions). Westward, Porquerolles rewards an early start with pine‑framed beaches and hiking trails. Your captain times passages to avoid congestion and leverages local knowledge for secure anchorages, while the 16m chase tender makes shore access simple when moorings are busy.
Beach clubs and shore highlights
The Riviera’s shore scene is best enjoyed with a fast tender on call. In Saint‑Tropez, Pampelonne remains the benchmark: Club 55 for unfussy classics, Bagatelle and Nikki Beach for a livelier beat, all reachable by tender drop‑off when conditions allow. Off Cannes, lunch at La Guérite on Sainte‑Marguerite pairs well with an afternoon at anchor between the islands. Around Cap d’Antibes, Hotel du Cap‑Eden‑Roc offers iconic terrace sunsets (tender access by prior arrangement). Farther east, Paloma Beach on Cap‑Ferrat and the village of Saint‑Jean invite low‑key afternoons before a Monaco evening. Your concierge and captain coordinate reservations, transfers and timing so you step ashore effortlessly—and return to REVELRY for a swim, spa session or sunset aperitif on deck.
Sample multi‑day itineraries from the French Riviera
REVELRY is optimised for week‑long cruising, but shorter escapes fit neatly into a busy calendar. Distances are modest; the pleasure lies in timing, light and anchorage selection.
Two ways to cruise
Suggested frameworks your captain will tailor to your dates and interests:
- 3 nights: Saint‑Tropez to Cannes—Board in Saint‑Tropez, lunch at Pampelonne, anchor off La Garoupe. Day 2: Îles de Lérins with tender to La Guérite; sunset in Cannes. Day 3: Cap‑Ferrat and Paloma Bay; overnight in Villefranche. Day 4: Breakfast swim and disembark in Nice.
- 7 nights: Riviera grand tour—Embark Antibes. Lérins Islands, Cannes evening. Cap d’Antibes to Saint‑Tropez (Pampelonne), day trip to Porquerolles. East via Cap‑Ferrat to Villefranche, then Monaco for the finale. Disembark Monaco or Antibes, subject to berth availability.
Guest capacity, crew and service
REVELRY accommodates up to 12 guests in six cabins, including a full‑beam owner’s suite with private lounge and office that suits remote work or quiet family time. Underway, international regulations cap most superyachts at twelve guests, aligning perfectly with her layout. A professional crew of 13 manages every detail—from sunrise tender runs to discreet turn‑downs—backed by reliable Starlink connectivity. Wellness can be part of the rhythm: the spa suite, yoga mats and gym equipment are complemented by personal training sessions, and specialist therapists can be arranged on request. Families appreciate smart separation between guest areas, while hosted dining on the upper deck brings everyone together with open views of the coastline.
Watersports and toys
Adventure is central to a REVELRY charter. Days revolve around the beach club and her impressive inventory, with the 16m Viking sport fish chase tender—crewed by two—unlocking diving, fishing and rapid shore transfers. Adrenaline or ease, the programme flexes to the day: eFoil lessons before breakfast, a SeaBob safari along Cap d’Antibes, then a leisurely paddle at Paloma Bay. Sound systems set the mood; the crew handles setup and safety so you simply enjoy the water.
