We offer a range of cruises aboard Moet of Mylor, an Italian designed
and built Cranchi Zaffiro power boat, fitted and equipped to the
very highest standards. The boat is based on the Bay of St Tropez
in Port Grimaud, known as the Venice of the Riviera. The Cranchi
Zaffiro offers luxurious accommodation for four people with full
air conditioning, shower, TV/DVD/CD, Sun Bimini awnings and fridges
for that cold glass of beer or wine.
We offer a range of cruises in the South of France with skipper
supplied. So no worries! Just chill out, anchored off the local
beaches of the Cote-d'Azur and top up your tan, swim from the bathing
platform in the warm Mediteranean waters or go ashore and visit
the local markets. Cruises can include visits to St Tropez, St Maxine,
St Raphael, Cannes, Antibes or Juan-les-Pins. You can walk or rent
bikes on the beautiful Porcorole Islands which are just 1.5 hours
from the boat's base in Port Grimaud. You could also take the dinghy
and explore the canals of Port Grimaud with its many waterfront
bars and cafes.
We can provide both daily and weekly cruises, one example of which
is detailed below. Prices start at £1800 per week including
fuel, skipper and breakfast with a maximum of four people. That
works out at just £425 per person! Daily cruises, with a maximum
of six people, start at £800 including fuel, skipper and lunch
and are only available within the Bay of St Tropez.

| Mediterranean Cruising Itinerary: Day One |
| On your arrival at Port Grimaud, you will be welcomed
aboard Moet of Mylor. Take your time to settle in and enjoy this superb
location. The beach is a short walk away, where you can take advantage
of a welcome dip in the blue waters of the Mediterranean or simply
just chill out at one of the many waterside bars. Living is easy here
- tomorrow is another day! |
| Day Two |
| A gentle departure from Port Grimaud to cruise the
canals and waterways of this unique port. Designed by the architect
Francois Spoerry in the 1960s, it is renowned as the Venice of the
Mediterranean. We continue the day heading out into the Bay of St
Tropez, to take in the stunning scenery of the coast, including the
famous old fishing port of St Tropez itself, bathed in the magical
light which has captivated the imagination of artists for years. Market
days at St Tropez are Tuesday and Saturday mornings and a visit can
be arranged if required. We continue our cruise down the coast taking
in St Maxime and Frejus then entering the bay of Cannes, where we
drop anchor for a leisurely lunch and swim. We finish the day at the
Port of Cannes for a 2 night stopover. After a pre-dinner apertif
on board, dinner can be enjoyed at one of the many star studded restaurants
around the port. |
| Day Three |
|
This a day to enjoy the diversity of this celebrity town. Everything
is accessible on foot including:
- Old town. Explore the old Souk, with its strong Arab influence.
Amble along the network of winding alleyways brimming with shops
and unusual eateries. Try the local Socca from one of the local
street vendeurs - a sort of sweet pancake. Head for the castle
to take in the most amazing views.
- Covered Market. Enjoy the hustle and bustle of this busy market
brimming with local produce of every conceivable variety - some
still alive and squalking!
- Port / La Croisette. This is the area for serious shopping -
Gucci, Prada, Chanel and so much more- ladies enjoy! The gentlemen
might prefer to find a bar location to do a bit of a serious car
watching and admire the yachts of the rich and famous!
- Isles de Lérins.
|
| Day Four |
| After breakfast, we take to sea to cruise through
the Isles de Lerins and down the coast, rounding the famous Cap Ferrat,
finally anchoring in one of the unrivalled bays for lunch and a refreshing
dip, or maybe just a sieste. By late afternoon we will arrive at the
Port of Antibes, another jewel of the Med. The evening can be spent
exploring the alleyways of the old town with its many interesting
boutiques and restaurants, perhaps finishing the evening with a stroll
around the ramparts to take in the lights of the Cote d'Azur. |
| Day Five |
| This a flexible day ashore to spend enjoying more
of the charm of Antibe and its famous Marche Provencal, or the newly
refurbished Picasso museum. For the more adventurous, a short train
ride will take you to Nice. For those who enjoy shopping, you will
be overwhemed by the number of designer boutiques. Lunch is a must
in one the many restaurants that flank the famous flower market, finishing
with a coffee along the legendry Promenade d'Anglais. The evening
will either be spent in Antibes or Cannes. Remember there is no rush,
the idea is to take full advantage of the stress free location. |
| Day Six |
| After breakfast, we cruise back along the Riviera
to take advantage of the magnificent coastline. Our destination is
the famous Plage de Granier, around the headland from St Tropez. Here
we will drop anchor for a swim followed by a leisurely lunch and a
birds eye view of the villas of the rich and famous. The evening will
be spent moored up in St Tropez, watching the sun go down from one
of the many watering holes. People watching is the most popular passtime
here. |
| Day Seven |
| We return to base in Port Grimaud, where, if time
is on our side, we will finish the week with a little excursion in
the tender to further explore Port Grimaud through the network of
Canals. Finally concluding our trip with a stop off for a coffee or
a glass of wine. |
