Itinerary: Antibes – Îles de Lérins / Monaco – Antibes
Day 1: At 10:00 AM, board your yacht at Port Vauban in Antibes to kick off an extraordinary birthday celebration. The yacht and its dedicated crew await to make your special day unforgettable.
Antibes, a charming Provençal town that captivated the likes of Pablo Picasso and Graham Greene, reveals its treasures: elegant villas on the Cap d’Antibes, golden sandy beaches, and endless azure waters. A stroll through its narrow streets and the Provençal market, with its aromatic herbs and local spices, will leave you with delightful memories to start your birthday weekend.
Option 1: Îles de Lérins. Head towards the Îles de Lérins, natural gems located across from Cannes and a favorite destination for yachting enthusiasts. Explore Sainte-Marguerite Island, famed for its royal fortress that still guards the mystery of the enigmatic Man in the Iron Mask. Wander through forests of pine and eucalyptus, breathe in the fresh sea air, and swim in the crystal-clear waters of inviting coves. On Saint-Honorat Island, discover the 5th-century monastery where monks carefully cultivate vines to produce exquisite wine.
Option 2: Monaco. Set sail for Monaco and dock at the principality’s harbor. Explore this luxurious city and immerse yourself in its opulent atmosphere. Walk to the iconic Monte-Carlo Square, visit the legendary Casino, and enjoy browsing through high-end boutiques.
On the way to Monaco, take in the spectacular coastal views of the French Riviera, with stunning vistas of hilltop villages such as Villefranche-sur-Mer, Èze, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.
Evening: Return to Port Vauban in Antibes for an unforgettable private party onboard. A gourmet chef will prepare exquisite appetizers and festive drinks while a DJ sets the mood for an open-air dance party under the stars. Enjoy the magical ambiance with the sea as your backdrop. A celebratory dinner will follow in the elegant salon, blending sophistication and warmth to mark your special occasion.
Day 2: Start the day with a delicious breakfast onboard before bidding farewell to the yacht and its crew. Before leaving, take some time to explore Antibes’ old town, just a short walk from the port. Pick up unique gifts and local products at the Provençal market, such as sun-dried tomatoes, olives, aromatic spices, candied fruits, chestnut honey, and lavender-scented sachets.
