With the Mediterranean yachting season almost upon us, there’s no better time to plan your South of France yacht charter. Let this 7-day itinerary inspire you to start packing your bags!

Day One:  Porquerolles

With its pristine beaches and low-key vibe, it’s impossible not to fall for the Porquerolles, the most westerly of the Îles d’Hyères. Spend a lazy morning on Notre Dame beach or explore the rocky cliffs on the island’s southern shore. In the evening, feast on Provencal cuisine at Michelin-starred restaurant L’Olivier, accompanied by a bottle of Domaine de l’Ile Porquerolles, of course.

Day Two: Saint-Tropez

Sit at one of the little cafes in St Tropez’ Place Des Lices and immerse yourself in local cafe culture. Perennial favourites include Café de Paris and Senequier, both are perfect for hiding behind huge sunglasses and ogling endless games of pétanque. Of course, a languid rosé lunch in one of St Tropez’s famed beach clubs, like Club 55 or Nikki Beach, is an absolute must.

Day Three: Cannes

Explore the city’s old quarter and soak up views over terracotta rooftops, the rugged Esterel mountain range, and Îles de Lérins from the city’s 11th-century hilltop castle. Afterwards, head to chic Boulevard de la Croisette to browse high-end fashion houses and people-watch. Alternatively, you can let your mind be whisked away to another world on one of the city’s blue flag beaches.

Day Four: Antibes

Any South of France yacht charter should feature a stop in Antibes, a resort town with oodles of local charm. Stroll around old Antibes’ ancient city walls and cobblestone streets to peruse the markets and visit boutiques that sell quality souvenirs with typical Provence motifs. Make sure you save some time to sip on a glass of vin blanc on Antibes’ charming Place Nationale.

 Day Five: Nice

A smorgasbord of fabulous things to see and do await those who visit Nice. There is the Promenade des Anglais (great for people watching), impressive belle époque architecture, and the Chagall and Matisse collections. Foodies keen to treat their taste buds to authentic French cuisine can take their pick of Nice’s incredible restaurants serving real-deal niçoise salads and slices of still-warm lemon tart.

Day Six: Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat & Èze

Set amid some of the most dramatic stretches of coastline in the Mediterranean, picture-perfect Èze impresses through its medieval stone houses, old castle ruins, and addictive coastal views. After exploring Èze’s meandering lanes (with plenty of galleries and boutiques to pop into) drop anchor in the bay of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat for lunch on board and a refreshing plunge in crystalline waters.

Day Seven: Monaco

Marvelling over the mega yachts adorning Port Hercules and soaking up Larvotto beach’s sunny vibe are perennial Monaco pastimes. After you’ve ticked the Principality’s must-do’s off your list, you can watch the changing of the guard at the Prince’s Palace, explore the city’s magnificent gardens, or get lost in its narrow Old Town streets. End your charter by soaking up the rays on one of Monaco-Ville’s pretty terraces.
