The wake of a boat running home along the coast at sunset.

Sunset

The golden hour

Out at six with the coast on one side and the sun going down the other. The sea flattens, the light goes, and everybody stops talking. Back alongside in the dark.

Out at six with the coast on one side and the sun going down the other. The sea flattens as the day lets go, the light turns the water to hammered gold, and everybody stops talking at the same moment. These are the two best hours this coast has.

There is a swim if the evening is warm, a slow drift past the capes as the villas light up, and the run back alongside in the dark with the harbor glittering ahead. If there is a proposal or an anniversary hiding in your week, this is where it belongs.

Every day here is shaped around the people aboard. The route, the lunch and the pace are the crew's to arrange once you tell us what you are dreaming of.

All experiences

Saint-Honorat and the Lérins6–8 hours

Twenty minutes off Cannes and a different century. Anchor off the monastery, swim in water the color of a pool, and eat at La Guérite under the pines with the tender waiting.

The whole party, looked after6–8 hours

Sea pool rigged off the platform, snorkels in every size, and a captain who has done this with guests aboard a thousand times. Nobody spends the afternoon organizing anything.

Somewhere only a boat can reach6 hours

A table held at La Guérite, Club 55 or wherever suits the day, and a tender to the beach. Or the whole thing laid on the aft deck instead, which is what most people choose the second time.

The Principality, from the water5–7 hours

Along the Basse Corniche and into Port Hercule past everything moored in it. Forty minutes from Beaulieu, and the only approach to Monaco that does not involve a tunnel.
