Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat

Yacht charter in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat with skipper

Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is one of the most prized peninsulas in the world, a cape covered in umbrella pines and legendary villas, ringed with turquoise water. To charter a yacht in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is to give yourself the finest of playgrounds, between Paloma beach, Passable beach and the Saint-Hospice point, a few miles from Monaco and from Nice alike. With ALL YACHT, the experience is all-inclusive, with a professional skipper who knows every cove and every anchorage on the peninsula.

Cap-Ferrat, an exceptional peninsula

Between the bay of Villefranche and the bay of Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Cap-Ferrat reaches into the sea like a garden set on the water. Its contours trace a succession of discreet coves, translucent inlets and anchorages of rare clarity, often away from prying eyes. It is a place made for the sea, where a yacht charter comes into its own, as close as can be to the finest properties on the French Riviera and their private jetties.

Paloma, Passable and the coves of the cape

Paloma beach, on the eastern side, and Passable beach, facing Cap-d'Ail and the bay of Villefranche, are two legendary anchorages with transparent water, ideal for swimming and lunch at anchor. All around, small inlets reveal themselves along the way, perfect for snorkelling and a nap in the shade of the bimini. A full tour of the peninsula, from the Saint-Hospice point to the lighthouse, is on its own one of the finest outings on the Riviera.

Sample itineraries from Cap-Ferrat

On a half-day, a tour of the cape, Paloma and Passable are enough to compose a day of bliss, anchoring and swimming included. Over a full day, you reach Monaco and the cove of La Mala, or run towards Cap d'Antibes and the Lérins islands. The great cruise to Saint-Tropez crowns the fine days of summer. And the Sunset formula offers the peninsula and the bay of Villefranche in the evening light, as the coast blazes and the sea settles.

Villas and gardens seen from the sea

From the water, Cap-Ferrat reveals its treasures: the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild and its hanging gardens, the Saint-Hospice point and its chapel, the legendary homes nestled in the pines. It is another reading of the Riviera, made of discretion and elegance, that only a yacht allows you to approach, to the rhythm of the skipper, well away from the beaches and their crowds.
