Port Vauban yacht departures
The old town and Port Vauban make Antibes a recognisable starting point for a Riviera charter. The marina is extensive, so an exact berth is more useful than a general harbour address.
Before travelling to the agreed berth
Confirm which entrance the crew wants you to use, the berth or quay reference and where a driver can stop. Guests arriving independently should receive the same instructions; walking around the wrong side of a large marina can consume the beginning of a short charter.

Before travelling to the agreed berth
Your yacht may be based at another approved berth nearby. The proposal should state the actual departure point and any repositioning cost, rather than leaving the address to the morning of the trip.
Send the same berth details to everyone
At Port Vauban, use the crew’s entrance and berth details. The harbour is large enough that an old-town meeting point and the yacht’s actual quay may be quite different places.
Boarding needs
The route from Port Vauban to the yacht may include a long quay, a moving gangway and changes of level. Describe any mobility requirements before choosing a vessel.
Request photographs of the actual boarding arrangement and ask which areas can be reached without stairs. A broad saloon does not mean the route into it is suitable for everyone.
Allow time for assistance at embarkation. If the proposed yacht cannot meet the group’s needs, a different layout or berth is worth considering before the booking progresses.
Fit the return berth into your Riviera plans
Choose what you want to spend time doing. Guests hoping to swim or eat slowly need a different balance from a group who mainly want to see the coast while cruising.
Begin with an Antibes date, approximate party size and the kind of route you have in mind. If you are undecided between a motor yacht and sailing, describe the pace rather than guessing a model.
Request an Antibes charter proposal
