A 60 to 70m motor yacht the Cote d'Azur in the 2026 high-season window (mid-July to late August) runs $760,000 to $1,350,000 per week plus 30 to 35 percent APA, takes 12 to 14 guests across 7 to 9 cabins, and carries 18 to 26 crew. The Cote d'Azur ground at this LOA runs the 60 nautical mile coast from Saint-Tropez at 43 degrees 16 minutes north through to Menton at the Italian border, but the bracket-fit alongside structure narrows to four standing addresses. The Saint-Tropez New Port outer-T at the SNST (Société Nautique de Saint-Tropez) framework, the Monaco Port Hercule Quai Jean-Charles Rey on the Yacht Club de Monaco coordination, the Antibes Quai des Milliardaires at IYCA, and the Cannes Vieux Port outer-roads at the Vieux Port Capitainerie are the bracket's four alongside options. The peak-event premium runs Cannes Film Festival in mid-May, Monaco Grand Prix in the last week of May, and the Saint-Tropez August Ferragosto wider-week.
Why the bracket narrows on the Cote d'Azur
The Saint-Tropez New Port outer-T. The 60m-plus Saint-Tropez allocation runs through the New Port outer-T on the prior SNST coordination, with the Old Port inner basin reading structurally short at this LOA on the basin-depth and the Med-moor stern-to capacity. The August wider-week allocation runs on the 12 to 18 month lead time and the broker network manages the structurally tight inventory. Place des Lices outer-roads on the Gulf of Saint-Tropez southwestern face handles the at-anchor footprint with the daily tender routing through the New Port tender pontoon.
The Monaco Port Hercule Quai Jean-Charles Rey. The Port Hercule eastern Quai Jean-Charles Rey carries the 60m-plus standing capacity on the prior Yacht Club de Monaco coordination, with the Monaco Grand Prix Formula 1 wider-week allocation (last week of May 2026) running 18 to 24 months out and the structural slot premium running at 30 to 60 percent over the late-July base on the GP wider-week. The Yacht Club de Monaco outer T-pier holds the alongside bracket-fit reserve.
The Antibes Quai des Milliardaires. The IYCA-coordinated 60m-plus alongside on the eastern Antibes Quai des Milliardaires runs the bracket's only standing French-Riviera midpoint alongside with the Saint-Tropez to Monaco overnight transit-shaving structure on the prior captain's-office allocation. The Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc tender shore on the Cap d'Antibes western face and the Eden-Roc Pavilion shore-dining anchor are the standing bracket-fit guest-routing.
The Cannes Vieux Port outer-roads. The 60 to 70m bracket-fit Cannes call routes the outer-roads anchorage off the Vieux Port with the daily tender through the Vieux Port pontoon and the Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat Lerins Islands day-anchor extension. The inner Vieux Port quay reads structurally short on the basin and the alongside footprint at the bracket.
Weekly rate map for the 2026 calendar
Rates below are firm summer pricing (June through September 2026) before APA at 30 to 35 percent and gratuity at 12 to 15 percent. The Monaco Grand Prix wider-week and the Cannes Film Festival wider-week pull a separate event premium structure.
| LOA bracket | Motor yacht (low to high) | Sailing yacht (low to high) |
|---|---|---|
| 60 to 63m | $760K to $880K per week | $570K to $690K per week |
| 63 to 67m | $880K to $1,080K per week | $660K to $830K per week |
| 67 to 70m | $1,080K to $1,350K per week | $810K to $1,000K per week |
Event premium calendar. Cannes Film Festival (12 to 23 May 2026) runs a 20 to 35 percent premium on the bracket and structural minimum 10-night charter at Festival central. Monaco Grand Prix (21 to 24 May 2026) runs a 35 to 60 percent premium on the wider-week with the Port Hercule allocation as the binding constraint. Ferragosto Saint-Tropez (week of 10 August) runs a 10 to 18 percent premium on the late-July base. For broader context see 60-70m Mediterranean and the lower-LOA comparison at 50-60m Cote d'Azur.
What the bracket includes in this bracket
Cabins. Seven to nine. Bridge-deck owner suite plus on-deck VIP plus five to seven main-deck and lower-deck guest doubles is the layout, calibrated to the multi-couple multi-generational 12 to 14 guest envelope at the bracket.
Crew. Eighteen to twenty-six. The Cote d'Azur call rewards a captain bench with prior Saint-Tropez New Port outer-T SNST allocation routine, prior Monaco Port Hercule and Yacht Club de Monaco T-pier coordination, prior Antibes IYCA Quai des Milliardaires standing, and prior Cannes Festival shoulder-week and Monaco GP wider-week guest-routing. The chief stew bench with prior Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc Antibes, Hotel de Paris Monaco, and Le Club 55 Pampelonne shore-coordination is the structural client-facing load-bearing question at the bracket.
Tenders. Primary 12 to 14m fast tender plus a 10 to 11m beach tender plus a chase boat plus a dive tender plus a 9 to 10m limousine tender. The Pampelonne Le Club 55 shore landing, the Lerins Islands day-anchor, and the Cap d'Antibes Eden-Roc tender access run tender-heavy on the daily structure. The limousine tender takes the primary on the Saint-Tropez New Port and the Cannes Vieux Port guest-arrival on the fine-dining shore.
At-anchor stabilizers and beach club. Load-bearing at the bracket. The Mediterranean July to August water temperature runs 22 to 26 degrees and the bracket-fit guest pool runs the open beach-club deck on the Pampelonne, the Cap d'Antibes, and the Lerins outer anchors. The 2018-and-newer hulls with the gyro-and-fin combination on the modern zero-speed package hold the bracket-fit at-anchor structure.
Helipad. Cat A load-bearing on the Monacair Nice-Monaco 7-minute shuttle on the Yacht Club de Monaco T-pier touch-and-go and the wider Saint-Tropez to Cap d'Antibes overnight transit-shaving routine. The bracket without the Cat A helipad reads structurally short on the wider Cote d'Azur cross-corridor product.
Trip shape that fits the bracket
The bracket's 7-night Cote d'Azur structural week runs Nice NCE embarkation through the Monaco Port Hercule outer-anchor or Cannes Vieux Port pickup, one night at Port Hercule for the Monte-Carlo Casino and Hotel de Paris shore, two nights at the Saint-Tropez New Port outer-T with the Pampelonne Le Club 55 daylight and the Cave de Saint-Tropez wine-shore tender, two nights at the Cannes outer-roads with the Lerins Islands day-anchor, two nights at the Antibes Quai des Milliardaires with the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc shore tender, one night on the Monaco return.
The 10-night extension routing runs the prior structural 7-night Cote d'Azur week with the eastbound overnight transit to the Sardinian Costa Smeralda and the Porto Cervo Marina di Porto Cervo north quay or the westbound transit to the Balearics through the STP Shipyards Palma alongside on the bracket-fit cross-basin routing.
What the bracket does not do well on the Cote d'Azur
The walk-up Cannes Film Festival or Monaco GP allocation. The Festival central week and the GP wider-week on the Port Hercule Quai Jean-Charles Rey run on the structurally tight 18 to 24 month lead time. We would pass on any walk-up Festival or GP plan at the bracket and route the booking with the captain's office allocation confirmed in writing at contract.
The Capri inner-basin or Saint-Tropez Old Port inner-berth extension. The Capri Marina Grande inner basin and the Saint-Tropez Old Port inner-berth structures read structurally short at the 60 to 70m LOA. We would pass on any inner-basin proposal at contract and route the call on the at-anchor footprint with the outer-T allocation.
The October through April Cote d'Azur plan. The summer-economy closes on the bracket from mid-October through to early May with the structurally limited berth coverage and the closed Pampelonne, Eden-Roc, and Le Club 55 daily-shore programme. We would pass on the October through April Cote d'Azur plan and route the bracket on the Caribbean winter rotation through the 60-70m Caribbean leg.
The pick
For two couples, 7-night Cote d'Azur routing in late June with the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity wider-week structure: a 63 to 65m motor yacht, 8 cabins, twin tenders plus chase plus dive plus limousine, Cat A helipad on the Monacair NCE-Monaco shuttle, captain bench on the Saint-Tropez New Port and Monaco Port Hercule allocation routine. Budget $920K per week, all-in roughly $1.27M including APA at 32 percent. Lead time 12 to 18 months.
