Frequently asked questions
01What charter services do you offer?
Rent a Boat brings the Riviera to life with private charters, hourly escapes, half or full-day adventures, romantic sunset cruises, bespoke celebrations, and licensed self-drive options.
02When should I choose hourly vs full-day?
Standard taxes are included, but fuel, catering, and special equipment may be additional.
03Are self-drive options available?
Yes. Selected boats are available for guests with the right licence, giving you the thrill of being captain for the day, freedom at sea, with our team always ready to support.
04Can I host birthdays or corporate events?
Absolutely. Whether it’s a birthday toast under golden skies or a corporate gathering with a sea breeze twist, we craft unforgettable celebrations. We can personalise routes, arrange gourmet catering, and create bespoke décor touches, ensuring your event is as extraordinary as the Riviera itself.
05Are the boats insured and safe?
Yes. Every vessel meets French maritime safety standards and is fully insured. Life jackets are provided, and depending on your charter, extras like snorkelling or paddle gear are included.
06 What is your cancellation policy?
Plans can change. If you cancel at least 24 hours before your scheduled trip, you’ll receive a full refund. And if the Riviera skies decide not to play along, don’t worry, we’ll either reschedule your adventure or provide a refund so your dream day on the water doesn’t go to waste.
07What is the best yacht charter in the French Riviera?
The best yacht charter is one that lets you soak in the Riviera’s legendary charm in complete comfort. With Rent A Boat, you’ll cruise past glamorous harbours, hidden bays, and golden beaches while enjoying the Mediterranean breeze. Each journey is tailored to your wishes.
08Where to rent a yacht?
Rent A Boat is your trusted partner for yacht rentals along the French Riviera. With bases in Monaco, Nice, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, your adventure begins in the heart of the Mediterranean. Most of our charters set sail from Port de Beaulieu, our home harbour, before gliding towards your chosen starting point.
09What to see in Cannes?
Cannes is more than red carpets and the famous film festival. From the deck of your yacht, you’ll discover the glittering Croisette lined with luxury boutiques, the historic Le Suquet quarter perched above the harbour, and the enchanting Lerins Islands just offshore. Sail a little further, and you’ll uncover quiet anchorages where the Mediterranean feels yours alone.
10Where are the best beaches to rent a boat for a sunset cruise?
For an unforgettable sunset, few places rival Pampelonne Beach in St Tropez or Paloma Beach at Cap Ferrat, where the evening sky melts into shades of pink and gold. The bay of Villefranche is another favourite, offering calm waters and a dramatic backdrop of pastel houses that glow as the sun dips.
