Beaulieu-sur-Mer Yacht Charter
Beaulieu-sur-Mer has the most sheltered deep-water marina between Nice and Monaco—a quiet, full-service base ten minutes from Cap Ferrat and twenty from Monte-Carlo. Port de Beaulieu-sur-Mer accommodates yachts up to an indicative 45 metres LOA. This Mediterranean destination features on itineraries such as the four-day Monaco, Èze and Beaulieu: the eastern Riviera escape, the five-day Family Riviera: Nice, Villefranche and Beaulieu, and the two-day Private jet arrival at Nice: same-day boarding on the Riviera.

Why charter a yacht in Beaulieu-sur-Mer
On the water
Privacy, pace, and places you cannot reach by road.
Introduction
Why charter a yacht in Beaulieu-sur-Mer.
01
A luxury yacht charter Beaulieu-sur-Mer rewards guests with a combination you cannot replicate from a hotel: total privacy, an itinerary that flexes around your party, and access to coves, restaurants and reefs that road-bound travellers simply never see. Blue Ocean Club curates Beaulieu-sur-Mer cruises across motor yachts, sailing yachts, catamarans and superyachts — every option live-priced against the global live availability feed and presented with our 100% best-price guarantee.
02
Beaulieu-sur-Mer sits at the heart of one of the world's great cruising grounds. Days unfold at the pace of the sea: long swims off the platform, lunch at a beach club where your concierge has held the best table, an afternoon cruise to a quieter anchorage, cocktails on the bow as the light softens. The captain rewrites tomorrow's plan based on tonight's weather and your party's mood.
03
Blue Ocean Club matches each crewed yacht charter Beaulieu-sur-Mer enquiry to yachts whose published operating area, specifications and current availability fit the requested dates. The final shortlist is checked against the yacht's authorised charter information before contract, and route details remain subject to operating conditions and the captain's final approval.
In depth
Beaulieu-sur-Mer charter, in depth.
Beaulieu-sur-Mer sits in a bay protected by the Cap Ferrat peninsula to the west and the cliffs of Èze to the east, which gives it an unusually calm microclimate and one of the better all-weather basins on this stretch of coast.
The Port de Beaulieu-sur-Mer is a working marina with full services rather than a scene, which is exactly its appeal: guests can walk to the promenade, the Villa Kérylos and the station, while Monaco, Nice and Cap Ferrat are all short transfers away. It is a common alternative when Port Hercule and Port Lympia are full during event weeks.
What to Expect
Yacht charter in Beaulieu-sur-Mer — what to expect.
Season, route, hull and investment — the four things every guest asks before we lock a yacht.
01
The season
Seasonal conditions in Beaulieu-sur-Mer vary by exact cruising area and dates. Blue Ocean Club does not apply a generic Mediterranean or tropical weather assumption here; current operating conditions are confirmed for the requested itinerary before charter.
02
The itinerary
The strongest Beaulieu-sur-Mer itinerary is built from destination-specific marinas, anchorages and places that are actually available for the requested dates. The route remains flexible around weather, berth availability, local restrictions and the yacht's operating limits.
03
The yacht
The most suitable yacht for Beaulieu-sur-Mer depends on guest count, layout preference, draft, range, speed and the intended itinerary. Compare the verified specifications on the individual yacht listings rather than relying on a generic destination-wide yacht type.
04
The investment
Charter pricing in Beaulieu-sur-Mer depends on the yacht, dates, operating area and the final charter terms. Verified yacht rates are shown on individual listings when available; taxes, operating expenses, provisioning and any other booking-specific charges are confirmed before contract rather than estimated from a global template. Minimum charter duration is yacht- and date-specific.
