Île Sainte-Marguerite Yacht Charters, France
Île Sainte-Marguerite (Island of St Marguerite) is just 15 minutes south of Cannes and is an excellent addition to any private superyacht charter along the Cote d'Azur. This unspoiled island offers an underdeveloped natural escape from the crowds that are always to be found along the main coastline in the height of the Mediterranean charter season, with plenty of room for getting out the motorised water toys or spending a relaxing day with the family along the shore. Read the full Cannes Guide here or the full South of France Guide here.
So, what's to do in the glorious part of France?
Of the few man-made attractions on the island, guests can visit Musee de la Mer within Fort Royal, which famously held The Man in the Iron Mask in the 17th Century.
There are plenty of dive sites where guests can see the French Riviera’s thriving wildlife and vibrant corals, while guests looking for a relaxing fishing expedition have a wide variety of fish to catch from the comfort of their luxury yacht.
Although guests can disembark at the port of Embarcadère, superyachts typically anchor on the south side of the island in Plateau de Milieu. This popular spot between Île Sainte-Marguerite and Île Saint-Honorat is excellent for water sports and for beaches such as Petite Plage Sainte Marguerite.
There are numerous smaller beaches along the south side of the island, however to have the area all to yourself, visiting outside the height of the summer season is recommended.
The trails across Île Sainte-Marguerite are shaded by pine umbrella and eucalyptus forests that scent the summer air offer another easy nature activity charter guests can do with family members of all ages. After taking to the island's trails, spend an afternoon relaxing in the sundeck Jacuzzi before partying the night away in privacy with the glittering city of Cannes sparkling on the horizon.

Client Testimonials
What our clients say about their charter experience.
To the Reverie team: We want to say a huge thank you for everything you have done for us on this trip. You are the best crew we have ever had on a yacht, hands down. Everything has been flawless. Keith’s food has been healthy, tasty, voluminous, and so varied. The toys and tenders were always ready for us when we needed them, and we loved having 3 Sea-Bobs, 3 efoils and 2 jet skis. Always charged and ready to go, from the moment we woke until we went to bed. Our rooms were cleaned so fast we often wondered if there were fairies who appeared and did it. Our washing was done and returned so quickly we wondered if we dreamed it. Service was perfect (thanks Megan and team!) - always nearby when we needed it, and invisible when we didn’t. We aren’t sure how we will survive at home, and there won’t be a drink, a cold towel and a smile waiting for us. Shane - you found us the best anchorages - exactly where we wanted to be - out of the way, out of the wind, but close to everything. We wanted adventures, and you went out of your way to source e-bikes, which ended up being a highlight. We know it wasn’t easy to find or to get them on and off the boat. The smaller things: remembering everyone’s names; the printed AllTrails maps; taking our kids jet skiing. They have all been noticed and appreciated. We know that it isn’t easy to build a team that can create such an exceptional experience. Congratulations to everyone on board - including those behind the scenes we don’t get to see as much. We would love to come back again next year - only if the crew is the same! Thanks so much!
Hey Trina, the charter was perfect! The crew was very professional but always kind and accommodating. Beautiful boat. The captain had the right hookups wherever we went, so it was an amazing trip all around. Highly recommend this boat to your clients. Magical trip!
The crew was awesome (5/5). They worked so well together and really seemed to enjoy working together. They took care of our every need and then some. The cuisine was amazing (5/5). The chef was excellent and had a broad range of cuisine. The country kitchen setup gave us a greater opportunity to interact with the chef, which was a really nice feature. The yacht's interior was immaculate (5/5), and the condition of the yacht was like new (5/5). We absolutely loved the layout, especially the indoor/outdoor option of the bar area on the top deck, and we loved the décor. The amenities onboard were excellent (5/5), with everything we needed and more. We particularly enjoyed the floating chairs and the beach chairs, and we had two great fishing trips - Bo and Hunter were fantastic on those outings. The only suggestion we would make is that the outside aft top deck was always in full sun. We would have used it much more if there had been some type of awning, similar to the one they have for the bow sitting area. We discussed this with the captain on Saturday, and he had already ordered it by Sunday! We would absolutely recommend Indigo and her crew to others. Although the yacht sleeps eight, we would recommend no more than six adults. If there are two to four children, then eight guests could work comfortably. As for your service, we honestly cannot think of a single thing you could have done differently or better to ensure the ultimate yachting vacation. You went so far above and beyond. Thank you!
Sally, hi, the trip was amazing; we loved LIR. The crew were fantastic, and the chef came up with some fabulous meals. The itinerary was great, and the weather was almost perfect. We loved it so much we would definitely consider a repeat trip, maybe around Sicily, in the future.
Sally, Thank you guys for the most amazing week. Your kindness and expertise made all the difference. Can't wait to come back again! It was an amazing experience. Thank you! The crew were the best people in the world, we will miss them. Thank you for all you’ve done. This truly has been a life-changing week! Filled with so many unforgettable memories, laughs, and so many smiles. I can’t thank you all enough for making this a week to remember! This has been the BEST week of my life. You guys are amazing people; I’m so grateful.
Hi Sally, we had a great time! The crew were fantastic and really went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time. Thank you also for all your organizing and help. Kind regards, S.
