Arthaud Yachting

Founded in the early 2000s, Arthaud Yachting has established itself as the absolute reference for premium yacht charter on the Côte d'Azur. From its Nice office, the company manages a fleet of over 60 vessels — motor yachts, sailing yachts, catamarans, RIBs — covering all budgets and projects, from day trips to week-long Corsica-Sardinia itineraries. The key to its success: a multilingual team of exemplary responsiveness and organisation, led by Hugo and Jeff, whose names recur in dozens of enthusiastic client reviews.

The navigation zone is impressive: Nice, Monaco, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Cap d'Ail, Menton, Cannes, the Lérins Islands, Saint-Tropez, and even Corsica and Sardinia for multi-day cruises. Arthaud Yachting handles all logistics — captain briefing, provisioning, on-board catering on request, tenders, port transfers.
