For those seeking presence and poise, a SLIPSTREAM yacht charter French Riviera sets the tone. The 60m CMN superyacht combines striking design with effortless coastal cruising between Saint-Tropez and Monaco.
Introducing SLIPSTREAM on the French Riviera
SLIPSTREAM is immediately identifiable along the Côte d’Azur with her black hull and silver superstructure, a sleek silhouette that turns heads in Saint‑Tropez, Cannes and Monaco. Inside, Winch Design’s warm ochres and deep reds, curated artworks and the carved totem‑pole staircase create an atmosphere with character—distinctive yet comfortable for extended coastal journeys. A master suite with elevated observation lounge, plus a VIP with private balcony, make sunrise coffees and golden‑hour arrivals feel private and cinematic. With a cinema‑style sky lounge, open‑air sun deck, and thoughtful deck flow, she is purpose‑built for Riviera days that start at Pampelonne and end under the stars off Cap Ferrat. For guests considering a SLIPSTREAM yacht charter French Riviera, she delivers dramatic style, serious capability, and the kind of onboard versatility that makes both short hops and longer passages feel effortless.

Onboard experience: interiors, decks and amenities
Winch Design’s interior blends tactile materials with curated art for a sense of place. The main‑deck master enjoys an elevated observation lounge; the VIP suite opens to its own private balcony—rare at this size. The sky lounge converts to a cinema environment for film nights after Cannes premieres, while the circular dining area can be enclosed by sliding glass for all‑weather service. Outdoors, the sun deck balances a jacuzzi, bar, and shaded lounges with open space for yoga at sunrise. A bridge‑deck gym converts to an additional cabin with two Pullman berths and an en suite—useful for staff or teenagers within the 12‑guest limit. Technology includes Starlink and Wi‑Fi, satellite TV, indoor/outdoor cinema systems, karaoke, streaming services and gaming consoles, keeping guests connected from Villefranche to Monaco. Throughout, the deck plan creates natural zones for family time, quiet reading, or full‑deck celebrations.
Best Riviera destinations and anchorages
From Saint‑Tropez to the Italian border, SLIPSTREAM’s scale and stability make the coastline feel well within reach. Expect easy morning hops to Pampelonne Bay (Club 55, Bagatelle), Baie des Canoubiers beside Saint‑Tropez, or the sheltered cove of La Garoupe on Cap d’Antibes. Cannes is best paired with the Îles de Lérins for clear water and a lunch at La Guérite or on board. Eastward, Villefranche‑sur‑Mer offers a scenic amphitheatre anchorage; Cap Ferrat’s Paloma Bay is a classic afternoon swim; and Mala Plage near Cap d’Ail sits within a short tender ride of Monaco. For a quieter day, Porquerolles and Port‑Cros deliver pine‑scented anchorages and glassy paddling. Typical cruising times: Saint‑Tropez to Cannes in around 2–3 hours; Cannes to Monaco in roughly 1.5–2 hours, weather dependent. The captain times departures to arrive with the best light and least swell at your chosen bay.
Beach clubs and shore highlights
The French Riviera’s shore scene pairs naturally with SLIPSTREAM’s deck life. In Saint‑Tropez, lunch tables at Club 55, Loulou or Bagatelle on Pampelonne transition easily to a champagne return on board before sunset off Baie des Canoubiers. Around Cannes, reserve La Guérite on Île Sainte‑Marguerite or head to BFire/Hyde Beach before an evening tender ashore for the Croisette. Cap d’Antibes remains timeless—afternoon swims off the rocks below Hotel du Cap‑Eden‑Roc or a relaxed lunch at Plage de la Garoupe. East of Nice, Paloma Beach on Cap Ferrat and Anjuna at Mala are reliable for a late‑season vibe, with Monaco’s Salle Garnier, Casino and supper clubs a short tender‑to‑car transfer away. Your concierge team handles berths, cars and tables, so shore time feels as polished as life on deck—exactly how a luxury yacht rental French Riviera should unfold.
Sample multi‑day itineraries from the Riviera
SLIPSTREAM is built for itineraries that balance headline ports with quiet bays. Embark in Saint‑Tropez for a southbound first day at Pampelonne, then steam to the Îles de Lérins for dawn swims, Cannes for dinner, and overnight at Cap d’Antibes. Continue to Villefranche in time for a long lunch ashore, then edge to Cap Ferrat for a swim and a Monaco evening. If privacy calls, set a western loop to Porquerolles for pine‑backed beaches and gentle e‑foiling. Event weeks—Monaco Grand Prix, Cannes Film Festival, Les Voiles de Saint‑Tropez—are all comfortably supported with tenders and discrete logistics. Every plan flexes with wind and swell so you always wake up where the water is best.

Guest capacity, crew and service
SLIPSTREAM accommodates up to 12 charter guests in six cabins, ideal for multi‑generational families or two families traveling together. The master suite spans forward on the main deck with private lounge and office; the VIP has a balcony for quiet morning air. Four flexible guest cabins complete the layout. A crew of 15 orchestrates service across housekeeping, deck and cuisine, led by a seasoned captain who knows the micro‑conditions of the Golfe de Saint‑Tropez, the Lérins channels, and Cap Ferrat’s coves. Expect crisp provisioning, child‑friendly service when needed, and discreet event support during peak weeks. The gym’s convertible berth arrangement offers extra flexibility for staff or teens while maintaining the 12‑guest limit. With Starlink connectivity and thoughtful AV throughout, remote work or streaming remains seamless underway—useful on a longer French Riviera yacht charter.
Watersports and toys
SLIPSTREAM carries one of the most complete toy lists in her class for a yacht charter French Riviera. Two tenders make shore runs swift, while waverunners, SeaBobs, underwater scooters and eFoils add adrenaline. A sailing dinghy, kayaks and paddleboards suit quieter bays like Paloma or La Garoupe. For wake moments, there’s wakesurf gear, waterskis, wakeboards and kneeboards; the inflatable slide, aquapark elements, towables and a Zorb keep younger guests smiling. Snorkelling sets and fishing gear round out low‑key afternoons. The outdoor cinema is perfect for late‑night screenings after a Monaco dinner. French regulations require a personal watercraft license for jet‑skis; if needed, the crew can arrange a qualified instructor or supervised operation so everyone enjoys the toys safely within local law.
Fuel, APA and what’s included
Charters typically operate under standard MYBA terms: the charter fee covers the yacht and crew; variable expenses are advanced via an APA (often 30–40% of the fee) to cover fuel, berthing, provisioning, beverages, and incidentals. French VAT applies according to the embarkation port and itinerary; your broker will confirm the prevailing rate. On the Riviera, day charters exclude fuel, and there is no automatic welcome champagne—your preferences are provisioned to taste through the APA. Crew gratuity is at your discretion. For current SLIPSTREAM charter rates and any delivery or event surcharges, please see SLIPSTREAM availability & pricing and speak with our charter team.
Why choose SLIPSTREAM for the Riviera
A classic monochrome exterior conceals a modern, comfort‑driven interior that suits the coast’s rhythm. Multiple social zones—from the aft deck lounge to the cinema sky lounge and a flexible sun deck with jacuzzi and bar—let groups spread naturally across the day. Guest cabins are arranged for privacy over longer itineraries, with a master observation lounge and a VIP balcony rarely found even among 60‑metre peers. She performs well on longer coastal passages between Saint‑Tropez, Cannes and Monaco, while her bow seating offers a calm, forward‑facing space for scenic transits. Add an outdoor cinema and one of the strongest toy programs afloat and the result is a SLIPSTREAM charter that feels tailored to the French Riviera—equally capable of beach‑club days, quiet anchorages, or red‑carpet evenings.
