The Luxury of Traditional Sailing in Antibes
Our gulet holidays in Antibes provide a unique alternative to modern motor yachts, focusing on spacious wooden decks, classic aesthetics, and high-end service. Each vessel comes fully crewed, typically including a professional captain, a private chef, and discrete stewards dedicated to your comfort. These wide-beamed boats offer expansive sunbathing areas and shaded outdoor dining spaces that are perfect for long Mediterranean lunches.

Sailing Routes from Port Vauban
Departing from Port Vauban, the largest marina in Europe, your itinerary can be as relaxed or adventurous as you desire. A short sail takes you to the Billionaires' Bay at Cap d'Antibes, where the limestone cliffs and turquoise waters offer a secluded swimming spot. Heading west, you can anchor between the pristine Îles de Lérins off the coast of Cannes, home to a historic monastery and famous underwater statues. For those wishing to venture further, the iconic beaches of Saint-Tropez or the dramatic red rocks of the Estérel Massif are within easy reach. Each evening, you can choose to dock in a glamorous port or remain at anchor under the stars.
Pricing and Seamless Booking Process
The cost of gulet holidays in Antibes varies depending on the size of the vessel, the season, and the level of luxury required. Prices generally start from €10,000 per week for smaller boutique schooners and can exceed €40,000 for ultra-luxury vessels during the peak months of July and August. These rates typically cover the yacht rental and crew, while expenses like fuel, food, and port fees are managed via an Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA). Booking is straightforward: once you select your preferred dates and vessel, our consultants handle the contracts and itinerary planning to ensure every detail of your French Riviera experience is tailored to your specific preferences.
Best Time to Visit and Travel Tips
The prime season for sailing in Antibes runs from late May through September, when the weather is consistently warm and the sea is calm. June and September are particularly recommended for those who prefer a quieter atmosphere while still enjoying pleasant temperatures. If you wish to extend your stay, we can arrange for a seamless transition from your gulet to a luxury villa in the hills of Valbonne or overlooking the sea in Cap d'Antibes. We suggest packing light, breathable clothing and soft-soled deck shoes to preserve the beautiful woodwork of the vessel. Early booking is essential, especially if your dates coincide with the Cannes Film Festival or the Monaco Grand Prix.
