Yacht charter in South of France This Winter
Whether you sail the Bahamas, Florida or Europe, there are always yacht charters to choose from, no matter your preferred season. And while some destinations may require you to pack facial coverings and hand sanitizing gel, or take the usual social distancing precautions, it is still possible to have fun aboard your private luxury yacht this winter.
To guarantee a safe charter experience and protect the environment and marine ecosystems, yachts must comply with a variety of regulations. These include regular inspections of electrical systems, navigation equipment and hull integrity, as well as emergency procedures and first aid kits. Additionally, it is important to follow guidelines for responsible waste disposal, fuel efficiency and management of graywater and black water.
These requirements vary by region, and reputable yacht charter companies are well-versed in local regulations for each destination they offer. Observing these rules ensures your safety, protects the reputation of the industry and contributes to the preservation of our world’s beautiful oceans.
For example, in order to skipper a bareboat yacht charter in South of France or participate in a flotilla outside of the Caribbean, you must hold a practical sailing certificate equivalent to RYA Day Skipper, International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or ASA 103, 104. Sailing with a full crew, on the other hand, is perfect for less experienced sailors and allows you to relax and enjoy your yacht charter experience knowing all the details have been taken care of by your professional and knowledgeable skipper.

The Cote d’Azur in France is one of the most popular destinations for yacht charters, and its welcoming ports are packed with gleaming superyachts during the summer season. Spectacular Riviera scenery combines with an enchanting mix of small, ancient hilltop towns, complete with picturesque passageways and countless galleries. And a short inland trip from your charter yacht can reveal charming, secret bays where you can drop anchor and spend the day exploring on land.
The South of France is easily accessible by air with Nice – Cote d’Azur International Airport serving a range of European cities and connections to other French regional airports. Once you’ve landed, the transfer to your superyacht charter can be easily arranged through your GlobeSailor advisor.
The American Sailing Association (ASA) has a network of sailing schools throughout the country, so you can sharpen your skills and earn a certification to charter a bareboat yacht anywhere in the world. In addition to helping you gain the credentials you need, the ASA can also recommend yachts that are suitable for your skill level. The two main types of yacht charter agreements available are time/voyage (aka crewed) and bareboat/demise charters, and you can find the right yacht for you through a professional ASA yacht broker.
