Yacht Charters
In the heart of the French Riviera is Villefranche-Sur-Mer, a charming, hillside fishing village tucked away between Monaco and Nice and a charming yacht charter destination.
This seaside locale is known for its sandy beaches, terrace cafés, red-tiled roofs, narrow cobblestone streets, and quaint town squares. While it has a medieval ambiance, it is quite cosmopolitan, with exquisite restaurants, and the renowned Institut de Français.
The Bay of Villefranche has been named one of the five most beautiful bays in the world, making it an idyllic yacht charter destination. Yacht charter guests will enjoy the sandy beach, artisan boutiques, historic churches, and breathtaking views.

Chartering in the Saint Jean Cap Villefranche Sur Mer: When to Go?
The months of July and August are prime yachting season in Villefranche Rur Mer. During the peak of summer, visitors are welcomed by incredible weather – highs in the low-80s – warm water temperatures, and moderate swells.
The peak season draws the largest number of charter guests. Many choose the shoulder season months (mid-May-June and September) to avoid the peak season traffic.

The Villa Léopolda
Once a residence of King Leopold II of Belgium.
Once the residence of King Leopold II of Belgium, this monumental estate has been called “the most expensive house in the world.” Designed in the Belle Époque and located on 18 pristine acres, the villa is designated as a French historical monument.
Église Saint-Michel
This Baroque-style church was built in the 1750s.
Located at the center of the old town, this Baroque-style church was built in the 1750s on the site of a more modest 14th Century church. A registered French Historic Site, it houses various works of art, including a large painting of Saint Michael, and the 18th Century “Christ of the Galleys” sculpture. The organ, built by the Grinda Brothers in 1790, is one of the oldest organs in the region that is still in operation.
