Why This Service Matters Here

Port Vauban in Antibes is Europe's largest pleasure marina, with 1,642 berths and mega-yacht capacity up to 170 metres at the Quai des Milliardaires. It is the nautical heart of the Côte d'Azur, and our maritime concierge in Antibes exists because of this unique position. We cover the full spectrum of yachting needs: exterior and interior cleaning between every trip or charter, provisioning with fresh produce delivered dockside (sourced straight from the Cours Masséna market to your gangway), harbour master liaison for berth formalities and berth changes, and crew transfers between the airport and the port. Port Vauban hosts the Voiles d'Antibes each June : classic yacht regattas that draw the Mediterranean's finest vessels : and the Antibes Yacht Show during summer, creating peak periods where impeccable organisation is essential. Winterisation is a critical chapter: from November to March, boats require a comprehensive maintenance programme : haul-out or afloat winterisation, hull cleaning, engine servicing, antifouling treatment. We coordinate every step with the Antibes and Golfe-Juan boatyards. For yacht owners who are not on-site, we provide regular surveillance with photographic reports and emergency response capability.

Specific Challenges in Antibes

Port Vauban is Europe's largest pleasure marina with 1,642 berths, including the Quai des Milliardaires for mega-yachts. The Voiles d'Antibes in June gather the Mediterranean's finest classic yachts. The Golfe-Juan boatyard, 5 minutes away, handles heavy maintenance work. The Cours Masséna market, open every morning except Monday in summer, is the ideal source for fresh provisioning. The active nautical season runs April to October, peaking in July-August. Winterisation happens November to March, either hauled out in boatyards or afloat in the marina.

Boat maintenance and cleaning

Regular Mediterranean boat maintenance is essential to preserve value and ensure safety. Our service covers full cleaning : hull, deck, interior : after every trip or between charters. We coordinate mechanical servicing, electrical and navigation system checks, and routine repairs with regional boatyards. For larger yachts, we also manage specialist equipment maintenance: desalinators, generators, marine air conditioning. Every intervention is documented in a maintenance log we keep updated.

Provisioning and preparation

Before every sea outing, we prepare your boat so everything is perfect on your arrival. Provisioning includes local market shopping : fruit, vegetables, fish, fresh cheese delivered directly dockside : plus special orders: champagne, international products, dietary requirements. We check fuel and fresh water levels, prepare the cool box, lay out deck linen and towels. For trips with guests, we can arrange an onboard chef or dockside catering delivery.

Navigation and transfers

We organise sea trips departing from Antibes: day trips to the Lérins Islands, cruises along the Estérel coast, stops at Monaco or Saint-Tropez. Boat charter with or without skipper, diving and snorkelling excursions, sport fishing. For maritime transfers, we run shuttles between Côte d'Azur ports : practical for avoiding summer road traffic between Cannes, Antibes, and Nice. Every trip is planned accounting for marine weather and navigation conditions.

Winterisation and storage

Winterisation is a critical step in Mediterranean boat maintenance. From November to March, we coordinate the entire process: haul-out at regional boatyards or enhanced afloat winterisation, full hull cleaning and antifouling treatment, engine winterisation, deck element protection, and regular monitoring throughout winter. In spring, we manage the relaunch, engine trials, and full systems check before the nautical season begins. For absent owners, photographic reports document the boat's condition throughout winter storage.
