Exclusive Catamaran Cruises in Antibes
Discover the timeless elegance of the Côte d'Azur with our bespoke catamaran cruises in Antibes. From the historic ramparts of the Old Town to the hidden coves of the Cap, we provide an unparalleled maritime experience. Our fleet of modern, spacious catamarans offers the perfect platform for relaxation, celebration, and exploring the Mediterranean in absolute comfort.
Luxury Fleet and Premium Onboard Services
Our catamaran cruises in Antibes feature a curated selection of high-end vessels, ranging from intimate 40-foot sailing cats to expansive 60-foot power catamarans. Each charter is fully equipped with modern amenities, including spacious sun decks, shaded lounging areas, and en-suite cabins. Depending on your preference, cruises can include a professional skipper and a private chef to prepare gourmet Mediterranean cuisine using local ingredients from the Marché Provençal. Water sports equipment such as paddleboards, snorkeling gear, and sometimes sea bobs are included to ensure your time anchored in the turquoise waters is as active or relaxed as you desire.
Sailing Routes: From Port Vauban to Billionaires' Bay
Departing from Port Vauban, Europe’s largest marina, your itinerary offers endless possibilities. A favorite route takes you around the prestigious Cap d'Antibes, where you can admire the legendary Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc from the water. Drop anchor in the secluded Billionaires' Bay (Anse de l'Argent Faux) for a swim in crystal-clear depths. For full-day excursions, we recommend sailing toward the Îles de Lérins off the coast of Cannes. Here, you can navigate the shallow channel between Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat, enjoying a serene lunch surrounded by ancient pine forests and monastic history, far from the crowded mainland beaches.
Pricing, Logistics, and Seamless Booking
The cost of catamaran cruises in Antibes varies based on the vessel size, season, and duration. A half-day private charter typically starts from €1,200, while full-day experiences generally range between €2,000 and €5,500. These prices usually cover the yacht rental and insurance, while fuel and specialized catering are calculated separately via an Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA). Booking is straightforward through our platform; once you select your dates and preferred boat, our concierge team handles the contract and specific provisioning requests. We recommend booking at least three months in advance for July and August dates to ensure the best selection from our fleet.
The Best Time to Sail the French Riviera
The sailing season in Antibes peaks from late May to September, when the Mediterranean climate offers warm temperatures and calm seas. For those seeking a quieter experience, June and September provide perfect weather with fewer crowds in the popular anchorages. Many of our clients choose to combine their catamaran cruise with a stay in one of our luxury villas in the hills of Super Antibes or nearby Mougins. This lifestyle pairing allows you to enjoy the vibrant nightlife and shopping of the Riviera by evening, while spending your days exploring the coastline's natural beauty from the privacy of your own deck.

FAQ
What is included in the price of catamaran cruises in Antibes?
Typically, the base price includes the yacht rental, a professional skipper, and basic insurance. On luxury charters, towels, snorkeling gear, and a welcome drink are also included. Costs like fuel, port fees outside of Port Vauban, and gourmet catering are usually extra, often managed through a standard APA deposit.
Can we customize our sailing itinerary from Antibes?
Absolutely. While our captains have recommended routes to the Lérins Islands or the Estérel coastline, the itinerary is flexible. You can spend more time at anchor in the Cap d'Antibes or request a cruise toward Nice and Villefranche-sur-Mer, depending on weather conditions and your time frame.
How many people can fit on a private catamaran?
For day charters, most of our catamarans in Antibes are licensed to carry up to 12 guests plus crew. This ensures plenty of space for everyone to lounge comfortably on the trampolines or in the cockpit. For overnight stays, the capacity is usually limited to 6 or 8 guests in double cabins.
What should I bring for a day trip on the water?
We recommend bringing high-protection sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and swimwear. While we provide towels on most luxury cruises, you may want to bring a light jacket for the breeze during the return sail at sunset. Soft-soled deck shoes or going barefoot on board is requested to protect the teak decking.
