Cassis Yacht Charter
Considered the westernmost point of the French Riviera, a Cassis yacht charter holiday and the adjacent Parc National des Calanques are often included in a South of France luxury yacht charter, both for the beautiful scenery and peace and quiet at the height of the summer season.
The numerous sheltered inlets called calanques are perfect anchorages for an evening surrounded by stunning natural rock formations, crystal blue water and luscious forests home to a variety of native birds. The deep calanques allow for younger members of the group to learn how to use the water toys in a sheltered environment without the worry of strong currents; snorkel in lagoons, fish and kayak spending quality family time together.
Find your own secluded sandy beach accessible only by boat and settle in for an afternoon of sunbathing and adventure with the water toys, then dine on your deserted beach as you watch the stars appear in unpolluted skies.
Scuba divers will be spoiled for choice when it comes to dive-site diversity, particularly around Calanque d'En-Vau. Beginners can earn their diving licence encountering a variety of fish and corals, while more experienced divers can test their skills with numerous cave dives such as Résurgence de Port-Miou or La Grotte à Corail de Cassis.
As an additional benefit, Cassis is located between the cultural cities of Marseilles and Toulon so superyacht charterers won't have to cruise far to enjoy a fun day of activities with high end shopping, authentic French restaurants and vibrant nightlife.
Marinas in the area tend to be smaller yet plentiful in number and Calanque de Port-Miou and Vallat Des Brayes marinas are ideal for facilities near the town of Cassis. As an alternative, La Ciotat Port remains close to the national park and provides berthing facilities for mega yachts.
Season & Weather:
The weather in Cassis and the surrounding national park is wonderfully warm from May until the start of October, and visitors will enjoy average temperatures of 25°C/77°F during the summer months with a cooler 16°C/61°F in spring and autumn. The months of May through to September provide the most daylight hours (10-12), peaking in July at 12 hours. May to August are the driest months most suited to a superyacht charter, while September through to November is the wettest season.
Sea temperatures throughout the year remain stable around 14°C/57°F in winter and a maximum of 24°/75°F in summer for a warm and refreshing swim.

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, 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.
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.
