SX 100 Yacht Charter French Riviera – Sanlorenzo Style
· 7 min read
For those who value contemporary beach‑house living at sea, an SX 100 yacht charter French Riviera delivers exactly that—quiet, modern luxury with effortless access to the water.
Yacht overview
The Sanlorenzo SX 100 is conceived for the way discerning guests actually use a yacht on the Côte d’Azur: open, fluid, and anchored by an expansive beach club that blurs the line between deck and sea. Fold‑out terraces and wide walk‑around decks make the Mediterranean your constant backdrop, while panoramic glazing brings Riviera light into every interior space. Quiet and composed underway, the SX 100 is ideally suited to multi‑day coastal cruising from Saint‑Tropez to Monaco, with an agile tender for swift shore runs to lunch or late afternoons at anchor. If your brief is a modern platform that encourages time outside—swimming at Pampelonne before aperitifs in Cannes—the SX 100 meets it with understated Italian design and practical family‑friendly volumes, a standout within the current generation of superyachts on the French Riviera.

Onboard experience
Life on the SX 100 revolves around the beach club: a wide aft platform with easy sea access, shade options, and space for watersports. Fold‑out terraces expand the footprint at anchor, turning the lower deck into a private cove. Indoors, the open‑plan salon flows directly to the aft deck through full‑height glass, with soft textures, clean lines, and panoramic windows that frame Cap d’Antibes sunsets. The flybridge is arranged for unhurried days—modular seating, sunpads, and a dining table for relaxed lunches underway. Forward, the open bow remains uncluttered for quiet reading or uninterrupted coastal views as you approach Villefranche or Cap Ferrat. Comforts include air‑conditioning, Wi‑Fi, and a quality audio system. The result is a calm, contemporary environment that feels as usable at 10:00 for paddleboarding as it does at 20:00 for dinner under the awning.
Best destinations & anchorages from the Riviera
From Saint‑Tropez, a short morning run puts you on the anchor off Pampelonne, with Club 55 or Loulou reached by tender in minutes. Cruise east to the Îles de Lérins for luminous water between Sainte‑Marguerite and Saint‑Honorat—often an hour or two depending on conditions. Between Cannes and Antibes, La Garoupe and the Cap d’Antibes coves offer clear water and dramatic pines. Further east, Villefranche‑sur‑Mer provides a deep, sheltered bay within easy reach of Nice and Beaulieu, while Cap Ferrat’s mooring fields are a classic overnight setting. Monaco is typically a late‑afternoon arrival for dockside evenings in Port Hercule. Distances are compact on a French Riviera yacht charter; most legs are comfortably between 45 minutes and 2.5 hours on a yacht of this size, leaving the majority of the day for swimming, lunch shoreside, and sunset cruising.
Beach clubs & shore highlights
The SX 100’s tender makes shore time effortless. Off Pampelonne, favorites include Club 55, Nikki Beach, Loulou Ramatuelle, and La Réserve à la Plage. Around Cannes, La Guérite on Île Sainte‑Marguerite is a quintessential long lunch reachable directly from the anchorage. In Cap d’Antibes, Plage Keller pairs clear‑water swimming with refined service. Nice offers stylish city beaches—Plage Beau Rivage among them—while Monaco’s Monte‑Carlo Beach Club is a polished option for a pool‑and‑sea afternoon. Beyond the sunbeds, consider late‑day strolls through Saint‑Tropez’s old port, art stops in Antibes, or sunset cocktails above the ramparts in Villefranche. With a luxury yacht rental French Riviera, the pleasure is in the seamless shift between quiet coves, cultured towns, and a dinner table set back onboard moments after the tender returns.
Sample multi‑day itineraries
For an elegant loop, begin in Saint‑Tropez, anchor at Pampelonne, then run to the Îles de Lérins for night one. Day two takes you past the Croisette to Cap d’Antibes for lunch at anchor, then on to Villefranche or Cap Ferrat for a sheltered evening. Conclude in Monaco for a dockside dinner in Port Hercule. Prefer a westward arc? Combine Porquerolles’ crystalline bays with Ramatuelle and Saint‑Tropez’s evening scene. Many guests also opt for a Cannes‑to‑Monaco long weekend—Cannes (Îles de Lérins), Cap d’Antibes, Cap Ferrat, Monaco—balancing short cruising legs with time in the water. Your captain will refine timings to conditions; most moves are 1–2 hours, leaving days open for swims and shore lunches. Explore ideas in our Mediterranean itineraries, then tailor them to your SX 100 charter.
Guest capacity, crew & service
The SX 100 is licensed for up to 12 guests while cruising, with four cabins arranged for comfortable multi‑day stays. A dedicated crew of five manages navigation, housekeeping, service, and watersports, ensuring a quietly attentive experience. Mornings typically start with swim platforms deployed and coffee on the aft deck; by midday, the team has the toys in the water and a shaded table set for lunch on the flybridge or main deck. Shore reservations, tender shuttles, and late‑afternoon set‑ups—fresh towels, chilled drinks, music—are handled seamlessly. For families, the wide exterior spaces keep everyone together while still offering quiet corners; for mixed groups, the open‑plan interior makes hosting easy. The aim is simple: refined service that lets the French Riviera set the rhythm.
Watersports & toys
A typical SX 100 inventory emphasizes easy, low‑impact fun at anchor. Expect Seabobs for silent coastal exploration, stand‑up paddleboards for relaxed laps around the bay, and snorkeling sets to make the most of Cap d’Antibes’ clear shallows. A well‑sized tender handles beach access and short coastal hops. Additional equipment—such as a jetski, e‑foil, or inflatable platforms—can often be arranged with advance notice and subject to local regulations. As with any French Riviera yacht charter, toy lists vary by yacht; your charter manager will confirm the exact inventory ahead of embarkation. Crew support is always at hand, from safe briefings for younger guests to guided snorkel runs along the rocks. The beach club’s shaded lounges make transitions from sea to deck effortless.
Fuel, APA and what’s included
For multi‑day charters, the SX 100 typically operates under MYBA terms with an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) of around 30–40% of the charter fee to cover fuel, berthing, provisioning, and incidentals; any balance is settled at the end of the week. On the French Riviera, day charter fuel is excluded and calculated on actual consumption and itinerary. Standard inclusions are the yacht with five crew, linens, towels, soft drinks and water, and use of listed equipment; welcome champagne is not included, though bespoke catering and premium beverages can be arranged on request. French VAT applies according to the chosen itinerary and latest regulations. For precise budgets, consult our yacht charter cost guide and the yacht’s listing for current pricing and clauses.
Why choose the SX 100 for the Riviera
This model was designed for the very waters you’ll cruise. The integrated beach club expands living space at sea level—ideal for long afternoons off Pampelonne or the Îles de Lérins. An open‑plan salon links seamlessly with exterior decks for effortless hosting. Four cabins are arranged for extended stays, and the yacht runs smoothly over medium coastal legs, making Saint‑Tropez to Monaco a comfortable day’s progression. The flybridge is purpose‑built for daytime lounging, while the open bow keeps the view forward to Cap Ferrat uncluttered. For an SX 100 yacht charter French Riviera or a broader luxury yacht rental French Riviera, few platforms deliver such a modern, salt‑forward lifestyle with this much poise.
