ACCESS TO HIDDEN GEMS
Many of the Côte d’Azur’s most stunning locations, like secluded coves, pristine beaches, and the Îles d’Hyères, are best accessed by boat. The Côte d’Azur can be bustling during peak seasons, but a sailboat gives you the freedom to retreat to quiet, off-the-beaten-path locations whenever you wish.
UNMATCHED SCENIC VIEWS
You can anchor in tranquil spots far from the bustling crowds, enjoying an exclusive slice of the Riviera. Sailing along the coastline provides views that are often missed on land. Sunsets and sunrises over the sea are better from the deck of a sailboat.
RELAXATION
A sailboat allows you to customize your itinerary, moving at your own pace to explore famous destinations like St. Tropez, Cannes, and Monaco, or lesser-known jewels like Cap Bregancon and Port-Cros. Sailing is a relaxing way to travel.
LUXURY
Sailing along the French Riviera can be a luxurious experience. You will be on a private yacht with a crew who will care for your every need while enjoying delicious meals prepared on board and unwinding in style. Prepare to be pampered while enjoying a boutique sailing experience.
Please Note. This itinerary is meant to serve as an example of what a week-long sailing journey aboard Chronos, exploring the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, may entail. However, it is important to note that the captain may adjust the schedule to ensure optimal sailing conditions and the best possible experience for guests.
