Nice Cote d’Azur (NCE) for almost everyone: it is one of Europe’s best-connected airports, direct from most major cities, and only 20 to 30 minutes from the main charter bases at Antibes and Cannes. Land by early afternoon and you can be aboard for a first evening at anchor.
Arriving by private jet? Cannes-Mandelieu (CEQ) sits right beside the Cannes marinas and is the convenient private option, with Nice also handling private traffic.
Book the flights only after the charter agreement is signed; it is far easier to move a flight than a yacht. Which airport suits you can also depend on where you start: see Nice vs Cannes-Mandelieu.
