High-season weekly rates of the Princesses in our catalogue that cruise the French Riviera, built 2000 or later, October 2026. Not every yacht is listed online, so ask us about any size here and we will quote it.
The APA, usually 30 to 40% on a motor yacht, and VAT come on top. VAT is 20% under a standard MYBA contract and lower under an ECPY contract, and our APA guide explains both.
For a fully crewed week on the Riviera we recommend motor yachts from €80,000. Below that, a crewed catamaran usually gives a better week, and our catamaran charters page lists them.
