WEST MEDITERRANEAN
The West Mediterranean combines established superyacht ports with coastal cruising and longer passages between France, Monaco, Spain, Corsica and Sardinia.
The West Mediterranean is not one continuous cruising ground. It is a collection of established regions that include the French Riviera and Monaco, the Balearic Islands, Corsica and northern Sardinia.The French Riviera has the region’s highest concentration of major ports and shore-based services. The Balearics provide island-based cruising supported by more than 50 marinas. Corsica has a more exposed coastline, with 19 marinas and substantial distances involved in a complete circumnavigation.
Why Choose WEST MEDITERRANEAN for Your Yacht Charter?
A Classic West Mediterranean
Charter Region
A West Mediterranean itinerary can be built around several distinct cruising areas. The most suitable route will depend on the season, charter duration, embarkation point, berth availability and the yacht’s operating profile. The French Riviera is the West Mediterranean’s principal superyacht service and embarkation centre. Common cruising points include Antibes, Cannes, Cap d’Antibes, the Îles de Lérins, Saint-Tropez, Cap Ferrat and Monaco. Port Vauban provides approximately 1,500 berths and facilities for yachts up to 150 metres. Port Hercule provides 760 berths, deep-water access and shore services within Monaco. These ports support crew changes, provisioning and technical coordination, but berth availability can be restricted during the summer and around major events.
The Western Mediterranean brings together iconic coastlines, refined ports, and centuries of culture across one of the world’s most established charter regions.
