A Distinctive Vacation Option: Yacht Charters in Antibes, France

Antibes is a beautiful old French town on the French Riveria that is dominated by luxury yacht charters. The rich and famous come to Antibes, where more people revel out in the waters than exist on the land. The coastline is indescribably beautiful: the azure blue of the Mediterranean with the backdrop of the majestic snow-capped Alps.

Antibes

The Cap d’Antibes, the peninsula that splits the Bay of Cannes and the Baie des Anges, is packed with restaurants, spas, and other locations worth visiting. At the top of the Cap, nestled among maritime pines, sits the spiritual Nôtre Dame des Amoureux and the famed lighthouse. Yacht charter guests will enjoy a panoramic view of the Riviera, especially upon climbing to the top of the lighthouse.

The area beaches offer a soft sandy place to relax as well as some fine dining opportunities, particularly those offering Provençale cuisine with its share of fresh fish and seafood. Hiking along Smugglers Path is a popular activity for those fit enough to undertake it. The rocky path meanders past spectacular gardens and flowing creeks, all within the sound of the Mediterranean’s waves breaking against the rocks. A more relaxed stroll might be through the streets of the Cap, where one can view the luxurious homes, such as Villa Eilenroc, and stunning gardens against the sparkling blue of the ocean.
