Charter process guide
How yacht charter works on the Riviera
A Riviera yacht charter feels simple on board when the work before departure is precise: brief, yacht shortlist, availability, costs, contract, preferences, transfers and route timing.
MYBA-member broker network

Availability, contract and preference planning
Clear explanation of APA, VAT and fuel
Built around real charter decisions.
Route, yacht fit, boarding point, cost assumptions and guest comfort are reviewed together before a shortlist is sent.
Confirm yacht and terms
Availability, charter fee, VAT, APA, fuel assumptions, cancellation terms and inclusions should be clear before a contract is signed.
Prepare the day
Before embarkation, the team finalizes transfers, provisioning, water toys, restaurant timing, weather alternatives and captain-level route details.
