France offers a great range of destinations, from glitzy St Tropez on the Côte d’Azur to historic Normandy. The French Riviera is a renowned wine region and a centre of haute cuisine with many Michelin starred restaurants. The ports of Cherbourg and Le Havre have a long seafaring tradition and offer an excellent base to explore this area. You may also want to sail a little further east out of Port Hercule in Monaco and explore the Channel Islands or even south into the Aeolian Islands in Italy (still within EU waters).
The first thing to consider when pricing a superyacht charter France is the base charter fee itself. This includes everything from the use of the vessel and her equipment to the crew.

Beyond this, the cost of a charter will vary depending on several factors. These include the size of the yacht and her guest capacity. This will determine the number of cabins and bathrooms, and what level of luxury is available onboard. The age of the yacht, whether or not she has undergone a recent refit and her onboard toy and amenity inventory will also impact her base rate.
Other variables include the yacht’s reputation and popularity. Vessels are limited in supply and charter rates follow supply and demand laws. As such, a yacht that has been featured in a movie or TV show will attract more interest and command a higher charter rate than a similar model without the added cachet. Finally, the destination and timing of your charter will also affect the overall cost. As a general rule of thumb, peak season will be much more expensive than low season in the same destination.
The final yacht charter cost will depend on the terms and conditions of your contract – the standard MYBA contracts typically used on the Cote d’Azur include a plus expenses >> structure. This means that you will pay for all fuel and provisions consumed (as per the captain’s APA account), local taxes, VAT and crew gratuity (as specified in the charter contract).
When it comes to planning your charter, it is important to take into consideration your own specific preferences and any special requests or requirements. These can include dietary or medial issues, the presence of children or pets, and even the choice of specialised equipment for your hobbies. The questionnaire that Burgess will send to you for completion prior to your charter will ensure that any such considerations are addressed with the highest level of care and attention. Your personal Burgess yacht charter broker will be on hand to answer any questions you have about the specifics of your luxury yacht charter.
