The Riviera’s eight-week migration runs from St. Tropez to Monaco, with the yacht circuit in residence and charter rates above €1M a week.

The Season

The Côte d’Azur high season is not a single event but an eight-week migration across July and August. By 14 August, the circuit’s summer calendar is in its principal window.

The Route

The movement runs from St. Tropez to Monaco. Pampelonne supplies the daytime setting, Les Caves du Roy the night-time reference point, and Monaco remains the harbour of record.

The Money Signal

Peak-season charter for a yacht of 70 metres or more starts above €1M per week, before fuel and the beach-club bill. The figure signals a season priced around residence, not a brief visit.

Arrival Logic

The yachting circuit is the stated audience, in residence for the season. Yacht and helicopter are the practical arrival modes, with the route connecting the beach-club economy of St. Tropez to Monaco’s harbour infrastructure.
