Bespoke Yacht Charter

Luxury Yacht Charter

Bespoke Yacht Charter specialises in exceptional luxury yacht experiences along the French Riviera — from Monaco and Cap Ferrat to Antibes, Cannes and Saint-Tropez — with seamless access to the wider Mediterranean and the world’s most sought-after cruising destinations. Every charter is handled with care, discretion and attention to detail, so that each journey unfolds exactly as our clients imagine.

As an independent brokerage, we offer clear, impartial advice across the entire global fleet of professionally crewed superyachts, motor yachts and sailing yachts. Our recommendations are guided solely by what suits you best. With no ties to specific vessels or owners, we are free to source the right yacht, the right crew and the right itinerary — without compromise.

We are especially known for arranging charters during the Riviera’s most prestigious events, including the Monaco Grand Prix, Cannes Lions, MIPIM and the Cannes Film Festival. Whether securing prime berths for corporate hospitality, organising private celebrations or planning relaxed family escapes, we curate each charter with thoughtful precision — ensuring exceptional positioning, refined service and a truly seamless experience on board.

Welcome To

Bespoke Yacht Charter

Bespoke Yacht Charter was founded in 2014 by two senior charter brokers with more than 35 years of combined experience in the superyacht world. From the outset, the aim was simple: to offer thoughtful, personal advice and build long-term relationships, not just book charters. Based in London and the Côte d’Azur, we work with clients from around the world — whether they’re planning a week on the French Riviera or a wider Mediterranean escape.

Luxury yacht charter is all we do. Every enquiry begins with a conversation about how you like to travel and what you want from your time on board. We’ll guide you through selecting the right yacht, shaping a relaxed, well-paced itinerary and ensuring everything runs smoothly from start to finish — whether it’s a family holiday, a celebration or hosting guests.

We don’t sell or manage yachts, which means our advice is entirely independent. We recommend the yacht, captain and crew that genuinely fit you best, drawing from the global fleet, including some of the finest vessels in the Mediterranean.

We also make a point of knowing the yachts we recommend — visiting them, meeting crews and keeping close ties within the industry. That first-hand insight allows us to recommend with confidence and ensures that when you step on board, everything feels exactly as it should.

Bespoke Yacht Charter are recognised specialists in Cannes event yacht charters, arranging Cannes Lions yacht charters, MIPIM yacht charters and Cannes Film Festival yacht charters each year, as well as yacht charters during the TFWA. With many years of experience working in Cannes during these high-profile events, we understand the complexities of the port, berth availability and the yachts best suited for entertaining and guest accommodation. Our team ensures every detail is carefully managed, allowing clients to host, meet and relax on board with complete confidence during some of the busiest weeks on the Côte d’Azur.

Discover Our

Featured Charter Yachts

Bespoke Yacht Charter offers access to more than 1,600 luxury yachts worldwide, from large superyachts to elegant motor yachts and sailing yachts in every major cruising region. As an independent brokerage, we work across the top end of the charter market, focusing on yachts that are exceptionally well run, professionally  crewed and consistently maintained to the highest standards.

Our senior charter brokers have long-standing relationships with owners, captains and central agencies, and we make a point of stepping on board the yachts we recommend whenever possible. That firsthand experience matters. It allows us to suggest yachts we genuinely believe in, not simply those that look good on paper.

You’re welcome to browse a selection of yachts online, but most clients prefer to get in touch directly. Once we understand what you’re looking for, we’ll put together a considered proposal with carefully matched yachts, full details, crew information and itinerary ideas — making the process straightforward from the outset and setting the tone for a charter that feels exactly right.

Yacht Charter Destinations

Bespoke Yacht Charter arranges luxury charters in some of the world’s most sought-after cruising grounds. Much of our work takes place in the Mediterranean, where we know the coastline inside out — from the French Riviera and Corsica to Sardinia, Portofino, the Amalfi Coast, Sicily, Ibiza, Mallorca, Croatia and the Greek Islands.

We also enjoy steering clients a little further off the obvious routes. There are plenty of quieter corners, both in the Med and beyond, that offer the same beauty and atmosphere without the crowds. For many clients, that balance of privacy and character is what makes a trip truly memorable.
