High-season weekly rates of the Sunseekers 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.

Our favourite Sunseekers on the French Riviera
We have been aboard EVEREAST, and WYLDECREST is the other Sunseeker we would start with. Both are based in Cannes.
EVEREAST is a 115 foot Sunseeker refitted in 2022 and a wonderfully family-friendly yacht: the crew are used to stepping in as nannies, and a cot can be added for the littlest guests. A very large chase boat carries extra toys and space, at €120,000 a week in high season.
WYLDECREST is a 2021 Sunseeker of 87 feet for eight guests in four cabins, cruising at about 20 knots, at €80,000 a week in high season.
