YOUR JOURNEY, DAY BY DAY
7-Day Cannes Yacht Charter Itinerary
Discover the French Riviera from Cannes on a seven-day round-trip yacht charter that balances glamorous destinations with some of the coast's most beautiful natural anchorages. Cruise from the Îles de Lérins and the red cliffs of the Estérel to Saint-Tropez, Cap Taillat and the islands of Porquerolles and Port-Cros before returning to Cannes. Enjoy long afternoons swimming, exceptional dining ashore and the freedom to explore the Côte d'Azur at your own pace. Every itinerary is tailored to the yacht, weather conditions and your preferred experiences.
DAY 1
Cannes & the Îles de Lérins
Embark in Cannes and settle into life aboard before cruising the short distance to the Îles de Lérins. Spend the afternoon swimming and enjoying lunch in the clear waters between Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat, then return toward Cannes for sunset along La Croisette and an evening ashore or aboard.
YBH note: The Lérins Islands offer an ideal first afternoon, with beautiful swimming areas only a short cruise from Cannes. Anchoring locations are selected according to conditions and local regulations.
DAY 2
Cannes to Théoule-sur-Mer & the Estérel
Cruise west from Cannes toward Théoule-sur-Mer, where the coastline changes dramatically into the red volcanic cliffs of the Estérel. Spend the day exploring rocky coves, swimming in clear Mediterranean water and enjoying a relaxed lunch aboard before settling into a suitable anchorage or nearby port for the evening.
YBH note: The Estérel provides a striking natural contrast to Cannes. The captain will select suitable swimming and overnight locations according to wind and swell.
DAY 3
Estérel to Saint-Tropez & Pampelonne
Continue west toward Saint-Tropez and anchor off Pampelonne for a classic Rivierharbourr afternoon. Swim from the yacht, enjoy water sports or head ashore by tender for lunch at one of the area’s celebrated beach clubs. Later, cruise into Saint-Tropez for dinner and an evening exploring its lively harbour and village.
YBH note: Beach clubs and popular restaurants should be booked well in advance during July and August. Tender access and anchoring are subject to local arrangements and conditions.
DAY 4
Saint-Tropez to Cap Taillat & Cap Lardier
Leave the social atmosphere of Saint-Tropez behind and explore the quieter coastline beyond Pampelonne. Cruise past Cap Taillat toward Cap Lardier, spending the day swimming and snorkelling in clear water beneath protected Mediterranean landscapes. Enjoy lunch aboard and a peaceful evening in an appropriate anchorage.
YBH note: This coastline is particularly rewarding for nature-focused cruising. Protected areas and exposed sections require careful attention to anchoring restrictions and prevailing conditions.
DAY 5
Cap Lardier to Porquerolles
Cruise west toward Porquerolles, where pine forests, sandy beaches and turquoise coves create a distinctly different atmosphere from the central Riviera. Spend the day swimming, paddleboarding or exploring the island ashore, with time for lunch aboard and an evening surrounded by the island’s natural scenery.
YBH note: Porquerolles is a highlight for guests seeking beautiful natural scenery and time away from the busiest Riviera ports. Mooring and anchoring must respect the island's protected marine environment.
DAY 6
Port-Cros & the Eastern Return Passage
Begin with a scenic cruise around Port-Cros, one of the Mediterranean’s most important protected island environments. Enjoy the island’s natural beauty from the yacht, with swimming or snorkelling only where permitted, before continuing east along the coast toward the Saint-Tropez area for the evening.
YBH note: Port-Cros National Park has specific navigation, anchoring and activity regulations. The return passage is longer than the preceding days and should be planned around the yacht's cruising speed and weather.
DAY 7
Saint-Tropez to Cannes
Enjoy the final passage east toward Cannes, following the coastline past the Estérel and Théoule-sur-Mer. Depending on the charter schedule, stop for a last swim or lunch aboard before returning to Cannes for disembarkation, with the option to continue your stay ashore along La Croisette.
YBH note: The final day includes a return passage to Cannes. Swimming stops depend on the agreed disembarkation time, sea conditions and the yacht's cruising speed.
