We chartered a sailboat for a day for a family outing along the Riviera. Such a highlight of our trip! Gaelle was a wonderful captain and her team were incredible hostesses. I could not recommend this experience more!

I would highly recommend Arthaud Yachting for attentive concierge planning at any scale.

I wanted to create a special day on the water for our family and was happy to discover Loïc of Arthaud Yachting. Loïc immediately responded to my inquiry, asked me thoughtful questions, and then prepared a list of boating options, itineraries and costs. As I tailored our day and considered boat type, size, catering and activities, Loïc was always efficient in responding, and honestly impressed me that he took the time to read everything I wrote and make recommendations. I often expect people to miss a few of the details during busy times, so it came as a pleasant surprise to have him treat every aspect of our adventure with such care. The communication was excellent and timely, with everything going smoothly.

In addition, the day itself was perfect! We were delighted to join Captain Gaëlle and her Escapade crew for a relaxed day from the port in Nice, anchoring for an exceptional on-board lunch off the Iles de Lerins, with a final stop in Antibes. It was very easy to discuss routes and activities, and they were easily willing to make adjustments as needed to explore different areas.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time onboard the elegant and spacious Lagoon 560, visiting with the crew, learning many details about this special region, and left feeling as though we got exactly what we hoped from our day and more. We hope to return again!

Shane Kingston

We held a corporate event with Arthaud Yachting as part of Canne Datacloud Conference. They were truly exceptional from beginning to end. Polina, Hugo and the crew catered to every single request and communicated with me from beginning to end to ensure everything was to our satisfaction. The yacht itself was impeccable. If you're looking for high end service for a corporate event, I cannot recommend them enough.
