Yacht overview
At 54.2 metres, TALISMAN MAITON by Proteksan Turquoise is purpose-built for unhurried Mediterranean passages and gracious entertaining. H2 Yacht Design pairs Art Deco notes with subtle Asian accents, creating a warm, tailored ambience that suits the Riviera’s refined rhythm. A rare configuration places both the master suite and a full-beam VIP on the main deck, giving key guests step-free access and heightened privacy. Above, one of the largest sun decks in her class stretches from jacuzzi to a sheltered crow’s nest lounge, while expansive overhangs provide shade for alfresco dining as you glide past Cap d’Antibes or into Villefranche.

Best destinations & anchorages from the French Riviera
From Saint‑Tropez to Monaco, the coastline offers sheltered bays, postcard villages and short passages that suit the yacht’s considered pace. A TALISMAN MAITON yacht charter French Riviera might begin with a morning departure from Port de Saint‑Tropez, lunch at anchor off Ramatuelle, an afternoon swim by the Îles de Lérins, and an evening moored beneath the lights of Monaco. Cruising times remain pleasantly manageable—often 1–3 hours between highlights—allowing the day to flex around swimming, shopping or a shoreside table. Your captain will balance comfort, privacy and local conditions to select the right anchorage or berth each day.
Classic Riviera anchorages
- Pampelonne Bay (Ramatuelle) – broad, sandy anchorage for beach-club lunches
- Baie des Canoubiers – close to Saint‑Tropez with superyacht-friendly depths
- Îles de Lérins (Cannes) – clear water between Sainte‑Marguerite and Saint‑Honorat
- La Garoupe, Cap d’Antibes – turquoise shallows and protected swimming
- Villefranche‑sur‑Mer – amphitheatre bay with enchanting old town
- Paloma Beach, Cap Ferrat – calm waters and cinematic scenery
- Mala Plage, Cap d’Ail – dramatic cliffs near Monaco for late swims
Beach clubs & shore highlights
Lunch ashore is part of the ritual. Off Pampelonne, the tender whisks you to Club 55, Bagatelle or Nikki Beach; farther west, La Réserve à la Plage offers a refined, quieter aesthetic. Near Cannes, La Guérite on Île Sainte‑Marguerite is a perennial favourite, while Paloma Beach on Cap Ferrat remains timeless. Between meals, wander Antibes’ ramparts and Picasso Museum, browse La Croisette in Cannes, or step from the passerelle directly into Monaco’s Carré d’Or for an evening at the Casino and the Yacht Club de Monaco. Your concierge and captain coordinate berths, restaurant reservations and transfers so the day flows without queue or compromise.

Sample multi-day itineraries from the French Riviera
The region rewards both long weekends and full-week voyages. For a five‑to‑seven‑day classic, embark Saint‑Tropez, swim at Pampelonne, then cruise to the Îles de Lérins for a quiet night. Continue via Cap d’Antibes to dine ashore in Antibes, then on to Cap Ferrat for morning paddle sessions in glassy water. Conclude in Monaco for a gala evening before a final swim off Mala. Prefer a long weekend? Start in Cannes, overnight at the Lérins, lunch at Paloma Beach on day two, and arrive in Saint‑Tropez for a last sunset over the masts. Distances are short—most legs 1–3 hours—so each day can prioritise water time and unhurried meals. Your itinerary is entirely bespoke, built around reservations, events, and the day’s breeze.
Sample route highlights
- Saint‑Tropez → Pampelonne → Îles de Lérins
- Cannes Old Port → Antibes → Cap d’Antibes
- Cap Ferrat morning swim → Villefranche lunch
