Guide to Nice

The cosmopolitan capital of the Côte d’Azur

Curved beautifully around the Bay of Angels, the cosmopolitan capital of the Côte d’Azur, Nice, is a city of contrasts. Gleaming with sophistication, it strikes an engaging balance between historic Provençal grace, port-town exotica and well-dressed urban decadence in a delicious concoction of high culture.

Famous for its enchanting Belle Époque heritage and its idyllic setting on the French Riviera  surrounded by the foothills of the Alpes Maritimes, makes Nice a prime luxury yacht charter destination. The multicultural population, Mediterranean lifestyle, artistic centres and charming eccentricities create a hedonistic yet earthy atmosphere.

Italian influences abound throughout this iconic metropolis, no more so than in the captivating old town of Vieux Nice. The unassuming façade of Eglise de Jésus or Palais Lascaris are gateways into forgotten worlds whilst the sudden surprise of the Cáthedrale de Saint Réparate, opening up among the tiny streets, is one of the most beautiful sights to behold in the South of France. Spend a morning searching the alluring pastel-hued, sun bleached arcades through the winding alleyways to uncover antique treasures, vintage wines and local delicacies.

The sun-drenched and eternally fashionable Promenade des Anglais is a hub of activity amongst turn-of-the-century mansions that lord over the unceasing procession of rollerbladers, fashionistas and beachgoers. As the pink and orange light of dusk sets over the Riviera, the long strip of polished pebbles that form the bay comes alive with chic bars and restaurants to the backdrop of the dark, glittering sea.

Take a helicopter up to the mountains to the stunning Alpine village of Sospel. Peaceful and quaint, the surrounding area offers exhilarating opportunities to hike, horse-ride, bike and fish amongst the French countryside. The high point of the year falls in mid-February, when the city hosts one of the most spectacular Carnival celebrations in France.

If you are interested in discovering this part of the French Riviera from the comfort of a superyacht, then begin by comparing all of the crewed yachts for charter in the South of France  to get any idea of those which can be used for private cruising.

Explore historical Nice

The city of Nice has an interesting history dating back many centuries and has been part of many different powers trying to control this quaint city on the French Riviera. The architecture of the city is highly influenced by Italy and for good reason as it was a playball between Italian and French rulers. Between 1388 until 1792 Nice belonged to Savoy, before it became part of France between 1792 and 1815 only to become part of Piedmont-Sardinia until 1860. Ever since then Nice has been part of France. Cathédrale Saint-Nicolas de Nice is a Russian Orthodox church enabled by the last Russian czar Nicholas II and is standing tall in the center of the city. It is certainly a beautiful sight to see in the city. Musée du Palais Lascaris is more than just a museum showcasing musical instruments. It is a super luxurious 17th century house in the center of the city and will lure you in with its magnificent wall decorations and artistic ceilings. The historic center of Nice is going to charm you with its beautiful squares and its yellow-orange Italian style houses with green shutters. This is definitely a situation where the current architecture of a city tells you so much about the past.

Explore mystical Nice

While Nice might not be surrounded by traditional ancient Greek or Roman legends and myths that you probably know from other places in the Mediterranean, there are modern myths about the city that are either true or not. One of these myths is about the affordability of staying in Nice. Sure, there are the luxurious and expensive hotels scattering the Promenade des Anglais, but this is not everything Nice has to offer. Renting a boat in Nice can be a much more affordable option and allows you to visit the other magical towns along the famous Cote d’Azur.

Sailing conditions in Nice

As Nice is located in the South of France and by the Mediterranean sea it is blessed with a typical Mediterranean climate. Sunny and dry summers with temperatures generally going above 25 degrees. The winters are milder with temperatures barely going below 10 degrees. Thanks to the mountains Nice is mostly sheltered from the stronger northern winds.

Many beaches in Nice have been awarded the Blue Flag, a special reward for extra efforts keeping the beaches clean and tidy and to protect the environment.

The turquoise waters and pebbled beaches make Nice a wonderful place to go for a quick swim and to rent a boat.

How much does it cost to rent a boat in Nice?

Renting a boat in Nice is not going to be the most affordable vacation you can book, but it is definitely worth it. Explore the French Riviera and discover more expensive locations like Cannes or St. Tropez without having to worry about booking an expensive accommodation on land as you can simply return to your boat at night.

If you are mainly looking for daily charters , you should look at renting a speedboat in Nice . They are perfect for cruising along the French Riviera and stopping by the stunning beaches. Another great plus is that they are very affordable. On average it costs only 38 EUR per person per day to charter a speedboat in France . If you are the adventurous type, you should look at chartering a sailboat in Nice . On average it costs just 45 EUR per person per day to rent a sailboat in France . Rent a RIB in France for an average price of just 49 EUR per person per day. Like speedboats, RIBs are perfect for a day charter. Want to charter a catamaran in France ? Expect to pay an average price of 70 EUR per person per day. If you have a bigger budget and want to rent a boat in Nice that includes more amenities on board, you might want to look at renting a motorboat. At an average price of 283 EUR per person per day renting a motorboat in Nice is the most expensive option.

What type of boat is best for sailing in Nice?

Want to explore the stunning beaches in Nice and the French Riviera? Charter a boat with a shallow draft. Want to explore the Mediterranean and feel the wind on your skin? Rent a boat that has a sail and goes fast as it drives to the horizon. No matter what your dream boat vacation looks like, you should rent the right kind of boat for the activities you have planned in Nice.

Rent a catamaran in Nice

Pros of renting a catamaran in Nice

Rent a catamaran in Nice or one of the neighboring ports if you plan on thoroughly exploring the beautiful beaches of the French Riviera. You can best reach them by catamaran as they have a shallow draft and no keel. This allows them to drive closer to the shore and you to step out closer to the beach than with another type of boat.

A catamaran charter in Nice allows you to sail flexibly. When the wind blows you can set your sail and take advantage of this. But don’t worry, you won’t get stuck in the middle of the sea should the wind suddenly stop blowing. You have an engine that is going to come in handy should this scenario occur. The fact that you can switch between these two different methods of moving your boat comes in super handy as you are prepared for all eventualities.

A catamaran rental in Nice is also perfect for anyone who tends to get seasick easily. Standing on two hulls gives catamarans a lot more stability and even when the wind picks up you won’t feel it as much. However, this doesn’t just have an effect on the stability of the boat, it also has an impact on the level of comfort you can achieve here. The way the boat is built allows for bigger rooms and more space on deck. Stretch your legs and enjoy the view.

Cons of renting a catamaran in Nice

A downside of renting a catamaran in Nice is the fact that they are quite big. This makes it more complicated and more expensive to moor your boat at the marinas. In the summer months you might not even find a spot for mooring as the marinas on the French Riviera are packed with luxury yachts and other types of boats.

Charter a catamaran in Nice

Rent a sailboat in Nice

Pros of renting a sailboat in Nice

A sailboat rental in Nice is allowing you to embark on a fun adventure. The wind conditions are ideal and you can take full advantage of this. Feel the wind on your skin, taste the salty sea water on your lips and embrace the sun as you sail towards the horizon.

Charter a sailboat in Nice if you plan on experiencing a more environmentally friendly kind of sailing holiday. As sailboats solely run on wind and no fuel is necessary, you get to use what mother nature is offering you right then and there.

A sailboat charter in Nice is also perfect for anyone who travels on a bit of a budget. Sailboats are generally one of the cheaper options when it comes to renting a boat for a holiday on the water anyway, but the fact that they solely run on wind and not on fuel makes them even more affordable.

Cons of renting a sailboat in Nice

One thing you need to consider when chartering a sailboat in Nice is definitely the fact that they are more difficult to operate than other types of boats. You really need to know what you are doing when setting the sail and experiencing different kinds of wind and weather conditions.

As sailboats have a keel and no shallow draft, you might miss out on exploring some of the most stunning secluded beaches you can find on the French Riviera. This is something to consider when choosing the type of boat you want to sail with on your boat vacation in Nice.

Sailboat rental in Nice

Rent a motorboat in Nice

Pros of renting a motorboat in Nice

A motorboat charter in Nice will make you feel like you’re fitting right in. During the summer months the marinas are packed with impressive motorboats of different kinds. This is not surprising as they are the perfect water vehicles to explore the coast of the South of France.

A motorboat rental in Nice is a great option for you if you want to explore the many bays and beaches the French Riviera has to offer. As motorboats have a shallow draft, you can sail closer to the shore without worrying about putting yourself and other passengers on board in danger.

Rent a motorboat in Nice if you are looking for a boat that is easy to operate. Unlike sailboats, you don’t need a lot of experience to drive a motorboat. The charters can give you quick instructions, but you will get the hang of it in no time.

Cons of renting a motorboat in Nice

Renting a motorboat in Nice means that you need to pay extra for fuel - and fuel is expensive. This makes motorboats one of the most expensive options when it comes to chartering a boat for a sailing vacation.

Charter a luxury yacht in Nice

The French Riviera, including Nice, is obviously known for its glitzy, glamorous and chic lifestyle. Luxurious yachts are part of this lifestyle. Rent a luxury yacht in Nice to fit right in and enjoy some additional amenities and services that you might not get when renting other types of boats. Many luxurious yachts also have snorkeling equipment or SUPs available for you to use and discover the French coast from a different perspective.

What kind of boat license do you need when renting a boat in Nice?

Anyone who wants to rent a boat in France that can go at more than 6hp needs to be in possession of a valid boat license. EU boat licenses are automatically valid in France. As a non-EU-resident you should make sure that your boat license fulfills the requirements of a French boat license. However, carrying the International Certificate of Competency or short ICC is always a good option. This is not all! You are also required to outline previous sailing experiences and present them like you would your job experiences in a CV.

Neither have a boat license nor want to obtain one? No problem! Simply hire a skipper or captain for the duration of your sailing adventure and let them take care of the rest.
