Her private helipad enables discreet arrivals where permitted, while an expansive sun deck with jacuzzi and bar sets the tone for effortless Mediterranean days. A hammam steam room, cinema‑style sky lounge, and piano in the main salon elevate evenings at anchor.

Onboard experience
Days aboard VICKY flow from the bow lounge—an elevated, quiet vantage for sunrise coffees—to the expansive sun deck with jacuzzi, bar seating and wide sunpads. Shaded aft decks are arranged for relaxed group dining and unhurried afternoons, while the sky lounge can transform into a cinema‑style retreat for movie nights. Inside, Sawaya & Moroni’s palette of cool greys and sculptural forms creates a calm, gallery‑like atmosphere.
The main salon pairs a conversation‑friendly layout with a piano for impromptu evenings. The master suite spans the yacht’s beam and includes a private lounge and bar—ideal for quiet mornings or late‑night nightcaps. A dedicated hammam brings spa‑level downtime after a swim. With Wi‑Fi, satellite TV and streaming throughout, work and leisure remain seamless—supported by attentive, anticipatory service from a 12‑strong crew.
Best destinations and anchorages
VICKY’s scale and stability make her a natural fit for Riviera hop‑scotching. From Saint‑Tropez, Pampelonne’s broad anchorage offers reliable holding and swift tender runs to Club 55, Nikki Beach or Bagatelle. Eastward, Cap Taillat and the Îles d’Hyères (Porquerolles) promise clearer waters and quieter coves for paddle sessions. Between Cannes and Antibes, the Îles de Lérins are a classic lunch stop—flat water, pine‑scented shores and easy tender access to La Guérite.
Further along, anchor beneath Cap d’Antibes near La Garoupe for late‑afternoon swims, then continue to Saint‑Jean‑Cap‑Ferrat’s Paloma Bay or the amphitheatre of Villefranche‑sur‑Mer, both offering scenic, sheltered nights. Monaco remains an iconic finale: arrive in Port Hercules for a shore‑side dinner, or anchor off Cap d’Ail for a quieter berth with swift tender hops ashore.

Beach clubs and shore highlights
With a fast tender and knowledgeable crew, VICKY makes the Riviera’s shore scene effortless. Ramatuelle sets the daytime rhythm—Club 55 for tradition, Nikki Beach for energy, and Bagatelle or Loulou for long lunches that drift toward sunset. Off Cannes, La Guérite on Île Sainte‑Marguerite is a perennial favorite for a feet‑in‑the‑sand meal following a morning at anchor among the pines.
Further east, reserve Paloma Beach on Cap Ferrat for a discreet backdrop, or drop into La Réserve de la Mala in Cap d’Ail for turquoise water and cliff‑backed lounging. Monaco offers the Monte‑Carlo Beach Club and Michelin‑star dining a short tender ride from Port Hercules. Your crew coordinates every landing and return so you simply step ashore and back again—no logistics, no waiting.

Guest capacity, crew and service
VICKY accommodates 12 guests in six suites, led by a full‑beam master with its own lounge and bar—rare comfort for longer Côte d’Azur runs. Five additional guest suites balance privacy and flexibility for families, couples and friends. The tri‑deck configuration creates distinct zones for dining, sunning and quiet time, so the yacht never feels crowded.
A seasoned crew of 12 orchestrates the experience: a chef versed in Mediterranean produce, deck and engineering teams focused on safety and smooth logistics, and service staff trained for discreet, anticipatory hospitality. For guests interested in personal watercraft, VICKY is an RYA training center, enabling safe, compliant jetski sessions under instruction where local regulations permit.
Watersports and toys
VICKY’s garage turns anchorages into a private aquatic park. Expect an Aquaglide water park, trampoline and a mega waterslide that arcs from the sun deck—high‑energy fun for families and adult groups alike. SeaBobs make snorkel spots effortless to reach, while waverunners are on hand for guided coastal blasts; as an RYA training center, the crew can deliver the required briefings and training.
For wellness, a well‑equipped gym keeps routines intact between swims, and the hammam is on standby after a long day in the sun. With the crew setting and retrieving toys quickly and safely, mornings can be adventurous and afternoons slow—exactly how a French Riviera yacht charter should feel.
Fuel, APA and what’s included
Weekly charters are typically plus expenses, with an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) collected up front to cover fuel, berthing, food and beverages, and incidentals managed on your behalf. On a superyacht of this calibre, APA commonly ranges around 30–40% of the base rate, reconciled against actual spend. Local VAT applies on French itineraries; we will confirm the prevailing rate on your contract.
For day charter French Riviera bookings, note that fuel is excluded and calculated on consumption; welcome champagne is not included. Your rate customarily covers the yacht, crew, standard amenities and onboard Wi‑Fi. Specific inclusions—such as toy lists and any delivery fees—are detailed on the charter agreement; our team will advise the most efficient embarkation plan to minimise repositioning costs.
