How do you get from Cannes to Golfe-Juan by yacht?

Golfe-Juan is the wide, protected bay between Cannes and Antibes where Napoleon landed in 1815 to begin his return from Elba. Today its sheltered waters and gentle shelving make it one of the easiest anchorages on this stretch of coast — calm in most conditions and a short hop from the Bay of Cannes.

The bay sits in the lee of the Cap d'Antibes, so it stays workable when the open sea is lively, which makes it a reliable swimming and lunch stop for a day charter. The marina and beaches give an easy shore connection, and Juan-les-Pins is a short walk for those who want the buzz.

For families and first-time charterers it is one of the most forgiving stops on the coast: shallow, sheltered and close, with an easy beach landing. Captains often use it as a fallback anchorage when the wind makes the Lérins channel lively.

How much does a yacht charter in Cannes to Golfe-Juan cost?

Chartering a yacht in Cannes to Golfe-Juan costs from €1,500 a day (day-boat ~11 m, excluding fuel) and from €25,000 a week (motor yacht 20–30 m), plus APA 25–35% and 20% VAT — public 2026 references for the Côte d’Azur, not a tariff: every Yacht Cannes quote is worked out for your date, your group and your boat.

On top of the rate: the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance), 25 to 35% of the base price — fuel, food, drinks and harbour dues, reconciled against receipts at the end of the charter (median across surveyed MYBA listings: 35%) — and French VAT at 20%, in principle due on the whole charter fee since 1 November 2020 for a charter in French waters. The crew gratuity recommended by the MYBA is 5 to 15% of the charter fee.
