Ville Franche Yacht Charter Guide

Guide below, or go straight to current listed France yachts and Specials.

France is a very popular and important private luxury yacht holiday destination and Ville Franche yacht charter itinerary is right in the heart of it, in the Mediterranean French Riviera. The bay provides a large and favoured anchorage for the large superyachts and smaller more cost effective crewed yachts alike.

Between the large cities of Nice and Monaco is the quaint and romantic seaside town of Villle-Franche, which has a few surprises hidden away behind fortress walls: Pick up your bikes and cycle to Fort Du Mont Alban for the excellent views, stopping to admire the interior beauty of Saint Peter's Chapel and Saint Michael's Church during your travels. Citadel St Elmo is almost 470 years old and hides within four museums for guests to spend an afternoon out of the height of the summer sun.

The nearby town of St Jean Cap Ferrat is perfect to include in a Ville Franche luxury yacht charter. The Villa and Gardens of Ephrussi de Rothschild especially should be added to any South-of-France itinerary for its exquisite paintings from Old Masters Renoir and Monet, surrounded by opulent early 20th Century furnishings and matched by an equally-impressive garden designed to look like a ship.

Snorkelling and diving is plentiful within the bay and charter guests can encounter colourful nudibranches at depths of around 20m/66ft and rocky outcrops covered in sea fans and corals at shallower depths. For sunbathing, 'Plage de la Darse' is located right beside the marina, however it is open to the public and can get as crowded as the town's other beaches in the summer months: Cruise along the coastline and your captain will help locate a more private spot for your group.

Should you want a change from the excellent meals prepared by your luxury yacht chef, Ville-Franche has a plethora of restaurants to choose from, offering Italian and French cuisine as well as special seafood dishes. From traditional fare to contemporary cooking, your group will have a satisfying feast while enjoying the local ambiance.
