ROMA yacht charter French Riviera: 62m Superyacht
· 6 min read
For those who expect quiet power and immaculate detailing, a ROMA yacht charter French Riviera delivers both. The 62m superyacht sets a refined stage for Riviera days and starry-anchor nights.
ROMA on the French Riviera
Built by Viareggio Superyachts with exterior lines by Espen Øino and interiors by Katharina Raczek, ROMA blends Italian craft with contemporary ease—precisely what the Côte d’Azur rewards. Her scale absorbs Riviera life gracefully: berth in Port Hercule for a Monaco evening, then wake off Îles de Lérins with breakfast on the aft deck. Within, a creamy, light-forward palette and sculptural lighting bring calm between lunches at La Guérite and late swims off Paloma Beach. For a luxury yacht rental French Riviera program, ROMA’s balance of privacy, wellness, and playful detailing stands out. The cinema and games room entertain younger guests; the onyx bar and sun deck jet pool suit sunset aperitivos. If your brief is seamless movement between Saint‑Tropez, Cannes, Cap Ferrat and Monaco, ROMA is composed, capable, and distinctly Riviera in spirit.
Yacht specifications
ROMA’s particulars are engineered for comfort over a classic Riviera week.
• Length: 62 metres • Guests sleeping: up to 12 • Cabins: 6 (including a full-beam master suite) • Crew: 18 • Refit: 2019 • Builder: Viareggio Superyachts (VSY) • Design: Espen Øino (exterior); Katharina Raczek (interior)
Volumes are generous, allowing full-family cruising without compromise—spacious lounges, wide side decks, and a broad beach platform for effortless water access. Stabilisation and thoughtful zoning keep the yacht serene under way between Saint‑Tropez bay and Monaco’s Port Hercule. For those planning a French Riviera yacht charter in peak season, these dimensions translate to smooth tender operations, shaded deck dining, and discrete service flows that keep the main guest areas unhurried throughout the day.
Onboard experience
ROMA’s interiors favour tactile calm: creams and warm accents, a sand-inspired carpet underfoot, Art Deco shell panelling, and sculptural lighting that flatters dusk cocktails. The main salon flows to a dining area and onyx bar, while a separate cinema and games room keeps evenings varied. The master suite is full-beam; guest cabins are arranged for privacy on longer passages. Outside, the sun deck is the natural hub—daybeds, shaded dining, and a jet pool with adjustable current for a pre-breakfast swim. A fully equipped gym supports routine; a licensed masseuse and beautician elevate wellness days at anchor off Cap Taillat. Service is quietly choreographed by 18 crew, so transitions from tender returns to family-style lunches remain effortless—exactly the ROMA charter cadence guests appreciate.
Best Riviera destinations and anchorages
ROMA’s scale and tender set unlock the shoreline’s best water—close to the action, just far enough for privacy. Classic day arcs include Saint‑Tropez Bay to Pampelonne (around 15–20 minutes by tender), or Cannes to Îles de Lérins for swim stops in glassy channels. Eastward, anchor beneath Cap d’Antibes for a late dip by La Garoupe, then continue to Cap Ferrat’s Paloma Beach and Villefranche’s deep, sheltered bay. Beyond Saint‑Tropez, Cap Taillat and the Îles d’Hyères (Porquerolles) offer clear-water afternoons with pine-scented coves. From Antibes to Monaco is typically under two hours at comfortable passage speed; Monaco to Mala and back is an elegant half-day. ROMA’s crew know the local conditions, berth availability, and tender timings that make a yacht charter French Riviera program run seamlessly in high season.
Beach clubs and shore highlights
Shore time is selective on ROMA—arrive by tender, linger, and depart when the sea calls. In Saint‑Tropez, Club 55, Gigi Ramatuelle, and Nikki Beach set the tone on Pampelonne. Cannes pairs lunch at La Guérite or a sunset table at Baôli with a quiet evening at anchor off Île Saint‑Honorat. Antibes brings the timeless draw of Hotel du Cap‑Eden‑Roc for cliffside swims. Around Cap Ferrat, Paloma Beach remains a Riviera classic; in Monaco, Monte‑Carlo Beach Club is ideal before a dinner reservation in the port. Your crew pre-books moorings, arranges discreet tender arrivals, and times returns to beat the afternoon chop—small details that define a luxury yacht rental French Riviera experience.

Guest capacity, crew and service
ROMA accommodates up to 12 guests across six cabins, including a full‑beam master suite arranged for longer stays. Families appreciate the child‑friendly layout; couples enjoy quiet nooks on the foredeck during slow coastal runs. Eighteen crew support true superyacht service levels, from a licensed masseuse and beautician to a deck team drilled in smooth tender ops at busy beach clubs. The result is unhurried days: gym, a swim in the jet pool, shore lunch, then cinema night while younger guests use the games room. For corporate or hosted weeks, discrete, well‑paced service keeps schedules on time without feeling scheduled—a hallmark of a ROMA yacht charter French Riviera program.
Watersports and toys
ROMA is a PADI‑certified dive yacht, with instruction and guided dives available on request. Her 16.8m chase boat extends the day’s radius for coastal hops or swift tender runs to shore. Above the water, eFoils deliver quiet thrills near sheltered coves; the dramatic 27m waterslide turns a hot afternoon into an event. The broad aft platform is kept clear for straightforward water access, while crew manage swimmer zones for safety during peak hours off Îles de Lérins or Paloma. Exact inventories evolve—towables and supplementary boards can be confirmed prior to embarkation—but the core brief stands: a capable, family‑friendly platform for activity rich days during your French Riviera yacht charter.
Fuel, APA and what’s included
Weekly bookings on ROMA are typically under MYBA terms. The charter fee covers the yacht, crew, yacht’s insurance, linens, and standard housekeeping. Variable expenses—fuel, food and beverages, berthing, local taxes, transfers, and any special requests—are advanced via an APA, commonly 30–40% of the charter fee, fully accounted at cost. French VAT applies to charters in local waters (generally 20%). For day charter French Riviera requests, fuel is excluded; berth fees, catering, and VAT are additional, and welcome champagne is not included. Final inclusions and any delivery/re‑delivery positioning will be confirmed against your dates and itinerary; your broker will provide an itemised estimate before signature.
