Full Day Cruise - Timeless Glamour on the French Riviera

This unique retro-style yacht is a true Riviera classic, distinguished by her rich heritage and unmistakable charm. Built in Antibes in 1966 by Chantiers Naval d’Antibes as the last Gentleman’s Riviera Cruiser ever constructed, she represents a rare and evocative chapter in the history of Mediterranean yachting. Conceived to embody the elegance, leisure and sophistication of the Côte d’Azur lifestyle, she was designed for stylish coastal cruising with an emphasis on comfort, grace and effortless glamour.

In their heyday, these iconic cruisers were associated with the most glamorous side of Riviera life, frequented by film stars, royalty and celebrated personalities of the era. Often featured in films, advertising campaigns and media coverage, they became enduring symbols of Mediterranean luxury. To step on board today is to rediscover that timeless spirit and enjoy a charter experience unlike any other.

Meticulously refitted and carefully maintained, this rare Gentleman’s Cruiser has been thoughtfully updated to meet modern yachting expectations while preserving her distinctive character. Chartering her offers the opportunity to enjoy one of the very few yachts of this kind still available on the market. Adding to her appeal, a collection of photo albums on board traces her remarkable evolution over the decades, from her original construction through to the present day, offering guests a fascinating glimpse into her storied past.

The owner continues to invest significantly in her upkeep, ensuring she remains both elegant and highly capable. She has been re-engined twice, most recently in 2020, when efficient twin Volvo engines were installed alongside zero-speed stabilisers for enhanced comfort at anchor and underway, as well as new generators. The yacht’s layout was also redesigned to create even greater comfort on board, with the salon extended by two metres and the upper deck by a further 1.5 metres, resulting in noticeably increased interior volume and more generous exterior living spaces. Ongoing attention to the hull and paintwork further reflects the high standard in which she is maintained.

Her interior is warm, inviting and full of classic character, beautifully enhanced by new wood panelling, updated ceilings, fresh carpets and elegant soft furnishings. The result is a refined atmosphere that remains true to her timeless aesthetic while offering the comfort expected of a modern charter yacht.

Accommodation is arranged across four comfortable cabins, making her particularly well suited to families or mixed groups. She offers three double cabins together with a fourth cabin featuring two single bunk beds, ideal for children yet equally suitable for adults. The spacious main salon provides a wonderfully sociable setting, with a beautiful dining table seating up to ten guests, as well as a welcoming lounge and bar area designed for relaxed entertaining.

Exterior living is one of her greatest strengths. On the aft deck, guests may enjoy open-air dining in an intimate setting for up to eight, while the sundeck offers exceptional versatility for hosting events, sunbathing, cocktails or relaxed barbecues. A dining table for up to ten guests creates a superb setting for shared meals against a backdrop of spectacular views, while the extended sundeck provides plentiful space for comfortable lounging in the sun. For those seeking shade, a bimini can be set up on request, allowing guests to enjoy the scenery in complete comfort.

The foredeck is another favourite area on board, particularly when cruising, with sunpads inviting guests to unwind ahead of the bridge and take in the Riviera views. At anchor, when the water toys are launched, this area opens up into yet another generous outdoor space to enjoy. Combined with her beautifully classic lines, remarkable deck spaces and excellent crew of four, she is an outstanding choice for guests seeking a characterful and memorable charter.

Her experienced crew of four know the yacht exceptionally well and are praised for creating a warm, welcoming and family-friendly atmosphere on board. With a longstanding captain, strong owner commitment and a clear focus on guest satisfaction, she offers exceptional value without compromising on comfort, service or style. Every charter is delivered with genuine care and attention, ensuring an experience designed to exceed expectations.
