Your Host
With over 15 years navigating the Mediterranean, our captain is a native of the Côte d'Azur who knows its most beautiful anchorages, secret coves, and the best spots for any day's conditions.
"He knows when to set the mood — and when to disappear."
He maintains privileged relationships with some of the coast's most sought-after restaurants — including La Guérite — and can arrange sea-access tables most guests simply can't book.
Elegant in presentation, attentive to detail, perfectly bilingual. Our wine and champagne selection has been curated with the same level of care — refined, coherent, and matched to guests who expect both warmth and sophistication.
