A 60 to 70m motor yacht the French Riviera in the 2026 summer window (May through October) runs $850,000 to $1,400,000 per week plus 32 to 36 percent APA, takes 12 to 14 guests across 7 to 9 cabins, and carries 18 to 26 crew. The bracket's Riviera structural reality is the four-address alongside narrowing across the Saint-Tropez New Port outer-T at 43 degrees 16 minutes north, the Monaco Port Hercule Quai Jean-Charles Rey at 43 degrees 44 minutes north, the Antibes IYCA Quai des Milliardaires at 43 degrees 35 minutes north, and the Cannes Vieux Port outer-roads at 43 degrees 33 minutes north on the wider Cote d'Azur 145 nautical mile corridor from Saint-Tropez to Menton. The Cannes Festival mid-May 12-day window, the Monaco Grand Prix late-May four-day window, the Cannes Lions third week of June, the Ferragosto August 15 wider-week, the Monaco Yacht Show late-September four-day window, and the Voiles de Saint-Tropez late-September to early-October regatta-week run the structurally compressed Cote d'Azur 60m-plus alongside allocation on the 12 to 24 month lead time. The bracket-fit Riviera week routes the central shore programme through the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc Antibes, the Hotel de Paris Monaco, the Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat, the Hotel Byblos Saint-Tropez, the Cheval Blanc Saint-Tropez, the La Chevre d'Or Eze, the Le Cabanon Cap d'Ail, the La Petite Maison Nice, the La Voile d'Or Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, and the Paloma Beach.
Why the Riviera 60m-plus alongside reads as a four-address bracket
The Saint-Tropez New Port outer-T on the western Riviera face. The Port de Saint-Tropez New Port outer-T on the eastern Saint-Tropez Capitainerie framework handles the bracket-fit alongside on the 60m-plus standing capacity on the western Riviera corridor with the Voiles de Saint-Tropez late-September window and the Ferragosto August 15 wider-week allocation on the 12 to 18 month lead time. The Port Grimaud northwestern face caps at the 40 to 50m envelope, and the Tropézien daily structure routes the Pampelonne outer-roads on the at-anchor shore-tender programme to the Club 55, La Réserve à la Plage, and Loulou.
The Monaco Port Hercule Quai Jean-Charles Rey on the eastern Riviera face. The Port Hercule Quai Jean-Charles Rey on the eastern Monaco Société d'Exploitation des Ports de Monaco framework handles the bracket-fit alongside on the 60m-plus standing capacity on the eastern Riviera corridor with the Monaco Grand Prix late-May window and the Monaco Yacht Show late-September window allocation on the 12 to 24 month lead time. The Port de Fontvieille western basin caps at the 30 to 50m envelope and does not absorb the 60m-plus overflow, with the Cap d'Ail Marina western-face overflow on the wider Cote d'Azur corridor handling the 30 to 60m alongside on the daily Monaco tender or car shuttle.
The Antibes IYCA Quai des Milliardaires on the central Riviera face. The International Yacht Club d'Antibes Quai des Milliardaires on the central Antibes Vauban framework handles the bracket-fit alongside on the 60m-plus standing capacity on the central Riviera corridor with the structural Cap d'Antibes Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc shore-coordination, the Juan-les-Pins outer-roads daylight shore-tender, and the wider Antibes daily cross-coast shuttle on the 12 to 18 minute Saint-Tropez to Antibes and 14 to 22 minute Cannes to Antibes passage structure. The IYCA Quai des Milliardaires reads the bracket's structural Antibes alongside and the daily Cap d'Antibes shore programme.
The Cannes Vieux Port outer-roads on the central Riviera face. The Cannes Vieux Port outer-roads on the Cannes Capitainerie framework handles the bracket-fit at-anchor footprint on the central Cannes face on the Cannes Festival mid-May 12-day window, the Cannes Lions third week of June, the MIPCOM, and the MIPIM allocation, with the bracket-fit 60m-plus alongside structurally tight on the Cannes Vieux Port inner basin and the outer-roads anchor field on the daily lunch-and-afternoon Croisette shore-tender programme. The Cannes Festival mid-May allocation pulls the outer-roads anchor field on the 12 to 18 month lead time with the daily Croisette and Hotel Martinez shore programme.
The Nice NCE, Cannes Mandelieu CEQ, and Monaco MCM Cat A helipad shuttle. Nice NCE at 43 degrees 39 minutes north handles the bracket-fit wider Mediterranean Cat A helipad guest-transfer on the 7 to 9 minute Nice to Monaco shuttle, the 14 to 22 minute Nice to Cannes shuttle, the 12 to 18 minute Nice to Saint-Tropez shuttle, and the 8 to 14 minute Nice to Antibes shuttle on the Monacair, Heli Air Monaco, or Heli Securité shuttle structure. Cannes Mandelieu CEQ at 43 degrees 33 minutes north handles the local Cannes Cat A touch-and-go, and Monaco MCM handles the local Monaco Cat A touch-and-go. The bracket without the Cat A helipad reads structurally short on the cross-coast Saint-Tropez to Monaco daily and event-week leg.
Weekly rate map for the 2026 calendar
Rates below are firm summer pricing (May through October 2026) before APA at 32 to 36 percent (the heavy Riviera daily tender consumption on the Pampelonne, Antibes Juan-les-Pins, and Cannes Croisette shore-tender rotation, the four-address alongside coordination fee, the Nice NCE and Cannes Mandelieu CEQ and Monaco MCM Cat A helipad shuttle premium, and the structural Riviera provisioning load on the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc Antibes, Hotel de Paris Monaco, Hotel Byblos Saint-Tropez, and Hotel Martinez Cannes Michelin-grade pool) and gratuity at 10 to 15 percent. The French charter VAT runs the standard 20 percent framework on the portion of the charter in French waters under the French commercial exemption rules, with the Monaco portion outside the French VAT regime on the Monégasque commercial framework.
| LOA bracket | Motor yacht (low to high) | Sailing yacht (low to high) |
|---|---|---|
| 60 to 63m | $850K to $960K per week | $640K to $760K per week |
| 63 to 67m | $960K to $1,150K per week | $720K to $870K per week |
| 67 to 70m | $1,150K to $1,400K per week | $860K to $1,060K per week |
The Riviera peak structure runs the Cannes Festival mid-May 12-day window at a 14 to 20 percent premium on the May shoulder base, the Monaco Grand Prix late-May four-day window at a 22 to 30 percent premium on the Quai Jean-Charles Rey allocation, the Cannes Lions third week of June at a 10 to 14 percent premium, the Ferragosto August 15 wider-week at a 12 to 16 percent premium, the Monaco Yacht Show late-September four-day window at a 18 to 24 percent premium on the Quai Jean-Charles Rey allocation, and the Voiles de Saint-Tropez late-September to early-October regatta-week at an 8 to 12 percent premium on the New Port outer-T allocation. The June and September non-event shoulder windows read 12 to 18 percent below the August central peak.

What is in the bracket in this bracket
Cabins. Seven to nine. Bridge-deck owner suite plus on-deck VIP plus five to seven main and lower-deck doubles, calibrated to the 12 to 14 guest envelope on the structural Riviera peak-week and event-week pattern across the four-address Cote d'Azur alongside narrowing.
Crew. Eighteen to twenty-six. The Riviera call rewards a captain bench with prior Saint-Tropez New Port outer-T, Monaco Port Hercule Quai Jean-Charles Rey, Antibes IYCA Quai des Milliardaires, and Cannes Vieux Port outer-roads allocation routine across the four-address Cote d'Azur framework, prior Cannes Festival mid-May 12-day window and Monaco Grand Prix late-May four-day window event-coordination, prior Voiles de Saint-Tropez and Monaco Yacht Show late-September coordination, prior Pampelonne, Juan-les-Pins, and Cannes Croisette daily shore-tender rotation, and prior Nice NCE, Cannes Mandelieu CEQ, and Monaco MCM Cat A helipad coordination across the multi-shuttle Monacair, Heli Air Monaco, and Heli Securité framework. The chief stew bench with prior Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc Antibes, Hotel de Paris Monaco, Hotel Byblos Saint-Tropez, Cheval Blanc Saint-Tropez, Hotel Martinez Cannes, La Chevre d'Or Eze, Le Cabanon Cap d'Ail, La Voile d'Or Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, and Paloma Beach shore-coordination is the structural client-facing load-bearing question.
Tenders. Primary 14 to 16m fast tender plus a 12m beach tender plus a chase boat plus a dive tender plus an 11 to 12m limousine tender. The Pampelonne, Juan-les-Pins, Cannes Croisette, and Villefranche-Cap-Ferrat shore-tender rotation runs the tender bench hard across the wider Cote d'Azur, and the bracket-fit Riviera week reads tender-heavy on the Club 55, Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, Plage Belles Rives, Paloma Beach, and Hotel Martinez daily lunch-and-afternoon shore call structure.
At-anchor stabilizers and beach club. Load-bearing at the bracket on the Pampelonne, Juan-les-Pins, Cannes Croisette, and Villefranche-Cap-Ferrat daily outer-roads anchor structure outside the four-address alongside. The Mistral northwesterly window at force 6 to 7 on the wider summer pattern turns the Pampelonne outer-roads and the Cannes Vieux Port outer-roads on the daily afternoon-shore window, and the bracket's at-anchor zero-speed product on the wider Riviera anchor field is structurally load-bearing.
Helipad. Cat A load-bearing on the Nice NCE 7 to 22 minute shuttle on the wider Riviera face, the Cannes Mandelieu CEQ local Cannes touch-and-go, and the Monaco MCM 6 to 8 minute local Monaco touch-and-go on the multi-shuttle Cote d'Azur framework.
Trip shape that fits the bracket
The 7-night French Riviera four-address routing runs Nice NCE embarkation through the Cat A helipad shuttle to the Antibes IYCA Quai des Milliardaires alongside, one night at the IYCA Quai des Milliardaires with the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc and Juan-les-Pins Plage Belles Rives shore programme, one daylight at the Cannes Vieux Port outer-roads with the Croisette and Hotel Martinez shore-tender lunch, one night at the Cannes Vieux Port outer-roads with the Croisette evening programme, three nights at the Saint-Tropez New Port outer-T with the Pampelonne Club 55, La Réserve à la Plage, and Loulou shore-tender rotation, two nights at the Monaco Port Hercule Quai Jean-Charles Rey with the Hotel de Paris, Cafe de Paris, and Yacht Club de Monaco shore programme, and one daylight at Villefranche and Cap Ferrat outer-roads with the La Voile d'Or and Paloma Beach shore-tender, one night on the Monaco Port Hercule Quai Jean-Charles Rey disembark with the Monaco MCM or Nice NCE Cat A helicopter shuttle.
The 10-night Cote d'Azur and Ligurian routing runs the prior 7-night Riviera four-address programme with the eastward passage to the Italian Riviera, one daylight at the Bordighera and San Remo outer-roads on the wider Italian Riviera leg, and two nights at the Portofino outer-roads with the Belmond Splendido Mare and Ristorante Puny shore-tender programme.
What the bracket does not do well on the French Riviera
The non-prior-allocation event-week plan across the four-address bracket. The Cannes Festival mid-May 12-day window, the Monaco Grand Prix late-May four-day window, the Monaco Yacht Show late-September four-day window, and the Voiles de Saint-Tropez late-September to early-October regatta-week run the structurally tight 12-to-24 month allocation across the four-address Cote d'Azur framework, and the walk-up plan on any event-week without the prior alongside allocation runs as the structural blocker. We would pass on any non-prior-allocation event-week plan at the bracket and route the booking on the June or September non-event shoulder edge with the four-address berth structure confirmed in writing through the captain's office at contract.
The Cannes Vieux Port inner-basin alongside plan. The Cannes Vieux Port inner basin caps at the 30 to 50m envelope on the Cannes Capitainerie framework, and the 60m-plus hull does not fit. We would pass on any Cannes Vieux Port inner-basin alongside plan at the bracket and route the Cannes call on the Cannes Vieux Port outer-roads anchor with shore tender to the Croisette and Hotel Martinez daily lunch-and-afternoon programme, and the overnight call on the Antibes IYCA Quai des Milliardaires or Monaco Port Hercule Quai Jean-Charles Rey alongside on the wider Cote d'Azur leg.
The November through April Cote d'Azur plan. The French Riviera charter calendar runs the structural May through October window at the bracket, with the November through April winter holding on the wider French and Monégasque winter shutdown with the regatta-and-event programme gone and the shore-restaurant calendar on the off-season. We would pass on the November through April Cote d'Azur plan and route the bracket on the Caribbean winter rotation.
What we would book
For two couples plus children, 7-night French Riviera four-address routing in mid-June (the post-Cannes-Lions shoulder edge ahead of the July central peak) with the Nice NCE Cat A helipad shuttle to the Antibes IYCA Quai des Milliardaires alongside, one night at the IYCA Quai des Milliardaires with the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc shore programme, one daylight at the Cannes Vieux Port outer-roads with the Hotel Martinez lunch, three nights at the Saint-Tropez New Port outer-T with the Pampelonne Club 55 and La Réserve à la Plage shore-tender rotation, two nights at the Monaco Port Hercule Quai Jean-Charles Rey with the Hotel de Paris and Yacht Club de Monaco shore programme, and one night on the Monaco Port Hercule Quai Jean-Charles Rey disembark: a 63 to 65m motor yacht, 8 cabins, twin fast tenders plus chase plus dive plus limousine, Cat A helipad on the Nice NCE 8 to 22 minute multi-shuttle, captain bench on the four-address Cote d'Azur allocation routine across Antibes IYCA, Cannes Vieux Port, Saint-Tropez New Port, and Monaco Port Hercule, and prior Cannes Festival and Monaco Grand Prix event-coordination. Budget $1,050K per week, all-in roughly $1.43M including APA at 33 percent and the cross-border French VAT and Monégasque framework. Lead time 12 to 24 months for the Cannes Festival, Monaco Grand Prix, and Monaco Yacht Show event-week, 6 to 9 months for the June and September shoulder edge.
