TRIUMPH yacht charter French Riviera | 65m Benetti
· 6 min read
A TRIUMPH yacht charter French Riviera pairs Benetti pedigree with six decks of art-led design and sea-level living. For Riviera weeks that demand privacy, range and presence, TRIUMPH delivers.
Yacht overview
Delivered in 2021 by Benetti, TRIUMPH is a 65.4m custom superyacht conceived for guests who value design, volume and unhurried Mediterranean range. Her sharp lines frame six decks of curated interior spaces presented as a floating gallery, while expansive exterior terraces create multiple perspectives on the Côte d’Azur—from Paloma Beach to Pampelonne. A private upper‑deck owner’s apartment ensures true separation, and the large sea‑level beach club anchors life around the water. Stabilisation systems maintain poise at anchor off Cap d’Antibes or underway between Cannes and Saint‑Tropez. For discerning travellers planning a luxury yacht rental French Riviera, TRIUMPH offers a composed, contemporary platform: effortless tender access, generous shade for long Riviera lunches, and quiet corners for sunrise coffees or late‑night talks. The result is a yacht equally at ease hosting a family week, a design‑led retreat, or a discreet executive charter along the French Riviera.
Specifications
TRIUMPH balances striking form with purposeful capability. Built across six decks with a long‑range steel hull, she is engineered for smooth coastal passages and overnight hops along the Côte d’Azur. Accommodation is set for 12 guests in six cabins, attended by a professional crew of 16—an exceptional service ratio for a yacht in this class. Delivered new in 2021, she reflects Benetti’s latest thinking in circulation, glazing and noise reduction, supporting the relaxed pace of Riviera cruising.

Onboard experience
Inside, TRIUMPH reads like a private gallery: museum‑style lighting, considered sightlines and art‑forward textures invite unhurried appreciation between ports. Social areas flow vertically yet remain distinct—salons for film nights, terraces for breakfast, and a full wellness centre with gym, sauna and dedicated massage room. On the sun deck, shaded dining and a forward Jacuzzi set the tone for long Riviera afternoons; sundowners at anchor off the Îles de Lérins feel cinematic from this vantage. At sea level, the beach club opens to a broad platform, ideal for swimming, boarding tenders, or simply observing the coast at eye level. Sound and motion are kept discreet by stabilisers, so conversation carries. Whether you embark in Monaco, Antibes or Saint‑Tropez, the onboard rhythm is calm, refined and unscripted—your crew orchestrates the day while you choose the tempo.
Best destinations & anchorages
TRIUMPH’s scale suits the Riviera’s best anchorages and short coastal runs. Expect easy passages of 45–120 minutes between headline ports, with time to swim and arrive unrushed for lunch. Classic anchorages include Pampelonne (Ramatuelle) for the protected bay and beach clubs, Cap Taillat for translucent shallows, and the Îles de Lérins off Cannes for pine‑scented calm. Eastwards, the Baie des Milliardaires at Cap d’Antibes and Paloma Beach on Cap‑Ferrat deliver postcard water clarity within tender reach of refined shore spots. Villefranche‑sur‑Mer provides a dramatic, well‑sheltered roadstead, while Monaco offers guaranteed theatre on arrival and world‑class marinas. West of Saint‑Tropez, Porquerolles rewards an early start with luminous anchorages such as Notre‑Dame. Your captain will time each leg around lunch reservations and swimming conditions so every movement feels purposeful, never hurried.
Notable Côte d’Azur stops
Highlights well‑matched to TRIUMPH’s capabilities:
- Pampelonne Bay – classic, well‑protected anchorage for lunch and late swims
- Îles de Lérins – calm waters opposite Cannes, tender to La Guérite
- Cap d’Antibes – Baie des Milliardaires, scenic and sheltered
- Cap‑Ferrat – Paloma Beach and quiet coves within minutes of Nice
- Villefranche‑sur‑Mer – deep, picturesque bay with reliable holding
- Monaco – YCM arrival, boutiques and evening reservations
- Porquerolles – crystalline anchorages for a longer day’s run
Beach clubs & shore highlights
TRIUMPH’s tender makes lunch arrivals effortless, whether you prefer classic Riviera institutions or contemporary beach concepts. Ramatuelle’s Pampelonne remains the Riviera’s daytime stage; reserve at Club 55, Bagatelle, Nikki Beach or Byblos Beach depending on mood. Off Cannes, La Guérite on Sainte‑Marguerite is a perennially good‑natured rendezvous, while Paloma Beach on Cap‑Ferrat balances heritage with calm swimming. For golden‑hour glamour, a tender to Hôtel du Cap‑Eden‑Roc for cocktails is a Riviera essential, and Plage Mala near Cap‑d’Ail offers a dramatic backdrop in settled conditions. Shore programmes are curated around your party—wellness mornings, market strolls in Saint‑Tropez, gallery calls in Nice, or late‑night returns after Monaco. With the yacht standing by, you travel light and return on your schedule, not the coast road’s.

Guest capacity, crew & service

A complement of 16 crew delivers an attentive yet discreet service style—open‑air breakfasts ready on arrival from a morning swim, child‑friendly setup on request, and seamless tender movements to shore. Circulation is designed for privacy: vertical separation allows wellness, social and private zones to operate concurrently without congestion. Even during busy Riviera weeks, the yacht’s scale keeps your party comfortable and unobserved. Whether you are hosting a family group or a corporate retreat, the onboard team sets a steady rhythm, coordinating shore plans, spa appointments in the dedicated massage room, and elegant dinners under way or at anchor.
Watersports & toys
Life settles naturally around TRIUMPH’s expansive beach club and fold‑down platform. From here, the crew stages swimming, relaxed snorkeling and tender explorations of coves that larger yachts can’t approach. A 65m‑class charter typically carries a broad selection of towables and powered toys; please confirm TRIUMPH’s current inventory with our team and request any specialist equipment in advance to ensure availability. The wellness centre keeps the active occupied when conditions freshen, with the gym and sauna providing balance to long, sunlit days. Whether you prefer low‑key paddling at sunrise, laps off the stern before lunch, or tender‑to‑trail excursions ashore, the yacht provides the right launchpad without crowding the decks.

Weekly charters are offered on a plus‑expenses basis. Expect a charter fee from €650,000 per week, French VAT per prevailing regulations, and an Advance Provisioning Allowance (typically 30–40% of the fee) to cover fuel, berths, provisioning and incidentals at cost.
