Shortly after 11:00, the fleet began to depart from Port Hercule to gather for the formation cruise. Under the direction of Captain Jason Lambourn of MY Angara, the yachts lined up a mile off shore and proceeded to cruise in company at a steady speed of 8 knots on their way to St Jean Cap Ferrat.

The luxury yachts dropped anchor at the beautiful Paloma Beach, built in the post-war years and a favourite of some of Hollywood’s greatest names. Paloma Beach has maintained much of its 1950’s charm and boasts spectacular views over Beaulieu and Cap d’Ail.
Guests tendered ashore and were greeted with champagne and canapés, before settling down to enjoy a long lunch and an afternoon of fun on the beach. Paris-designer Jasmin Santanen previewed her latest beachwear collection with a fashion show at the water’s edge.
The busy social programme continued in the evening with a relaxed dinner at the Yacht Club de Monaco, one of the world’s finest yacht clubs.
Today, we look forward to another fun-filled day on the water. For the first time in Rendezvous history, the fleet will leave the port this evening for the Twilight Cruise in Company to Cap d’Antibes Beach Hotel for our famous Diamonds & White Party.
