I am a beginner; can I participate in a regatta?

In a regatta, the schedule is adaptable to match your event needs and our professional skippers guarantee an activity in a secure environment and accessible to all. The experienced sailors will be able to take full advantage of the modern et well equipped boats, whilst the beginners will be able to learn from the advice given by their peers and the skipper. In order to sail successfully, you need to share the tasks on-board, true teamwork. If some tasks are more demanding, others will be more strategic or energetic, either way all the tasks on-board do not require a specific physical condition.

Is there a minimum or maximum number of participants needed to organise a regatta?

Our mono-hulled sail boats ranging from 45 to 60 feet can welcome up to 10 guests per boat. A regatta activity allows you to easily tailor your project by adapting the number of boats to the size of your group. Due to a professional skipper being on-board to accompany you, there is no minimum number of passengers required for you to organise your team building regatta, but you will need a minimum of 2 sailing boats to organise a race. Arthaud Yachting can propose a fleet of around 30 sail boats departing from most of the major cities such as Monaco, Nice, Cannes, Saint Tropez and even Marseille, thus allowing you to embark up to 300 guests with rotations.

What is the timing for the organisation of a regatta?

Between the embarkation, security briefing, time for training, the races and the disembarkation, we advise to allocate a minimum of two hours for your regatta activity. Arthaud Yachting and their professional skippers take care of the passengers from your arrival in the harbour and take care of organising your nautical activity until the moment your return on land. The proposed vessels do not applicate half day rental rates and are at your disposal for a maximum of 8 hours with a limit based on the time of the sun set on your chosen date. The rental hours are flexible and can be adapted to match your schedule. You do not need to embark and disembark in the same harbour should you wish to take advantage of your sailing regatta to discover the region.

What do I need to bring for the day?

In order to spend a pleasant day, we advise that you bring comfortable shoes with non-marking soles and your usual beach bag including swimming suit, beach towel and sun cream. In winter, a windbreaker is highly recommended.

Is it possible to eat on-board?

Arthaud Yachting proposes some catering options on-board, but you remain free to bring your own food or to choose your own caterer. We recommend that you opt for a cold meal such as a cold platter, packed lunch, picnic basket or cocktail. If you prefer to disembark for lunch, the security motorboats remain at your disposal to use as shuttles to disembark you at the restaurant of your choice, this remains subject to having access to a pontoon or harbour.

What are the extra costs that may apply?

Arthaud Yachting send tailor-made quotation which leave no space to surprises. The daily rate includes the delivery fees to the place chosen for the embarkation and the fuel consumption for the regatta, the cost of the skipper, regatta equipment, security motorboats, organisers and harbour taxes are also included in our proposals. Our catering options are also proposed to you within our quotation.

Nous avons fait appel pour la 2ème fois à ARTHAUD YACHTING pour notre traditionnel summer party en entreprise et une fois de plus nous n'avons pas été déçus ! Jeff s'est toujours montré très réactif par email, voire rassurant sur la météo qui aurait pu nous jouer des tours ! Notre catamaran avait tout ce dont nous avions besoin à bord avec un capitaine et ses membres d'équipage aux petits soins. Nous reviendrons c'est sûr ! Encore un immense merci, nous avons passé de chouettes moments entre collègues et à l'année prochaine ! La Team Z

Arthaud Yachting is the best. I have used them for the past two years during a conference in Cannes. Jeff is very responsive and helpful leading up to the trips. They offer many different options and size boats depending on your needs. The boats are lovely and the staff is attentive, on time and trustworthy. Highly recommend using Arthaud for any private yachting needs in Cannes.

I want to share with anyone interested in booking a safe and wonderful day on the water you must use this team. Jeff and Captain Stephan and his crew made our holiday a memorable one. The crew is fantastic and the catamaran is a pleasure to be on. Captain Stephan and Jeff make a great team and made us feel safe and comfortable so we could enjoy a beautiful day on the blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
We will most certainly be sailing with them again next year!
Bon voyage

We had an excellent experience booking our charter with Arthaud Yachting. We were in touch with Jeff who was very easy to liase with and brilliantly detailed and organized communication throughout. The day of the charter went super seamless and the crew on the boat was extremely flexible and accommodative.

So looking forward to booking with Arthaud again!

For anyone looking to charter a boat on the riviera, I’d recommend this group without a doubt in my mind. We put 19 people on a Lagoon 560 for a full day and, without exaggeration, it was perfect. We got white glove service from Jeff who was always responsive and committed to answering our questions down to the smallest detail. Thank you Jeff and the whole team for an unforgettable experience.

We held a corporate event with Arthaud Yachting as part of Canne Datacloud Conference. They were truly exceptional from beginning to end. Polina, Hugo and the crew catered to every single request and communicated with me from beginning to end to ensure everything was to our satisfaction. The yacht itself was impeccable. If you're looking for high end service for a corporate event, I cannot recommend them enough.

We had a small wedding party in one of their catamarans in May 2026. Gabriele and all team were great at responding to our needs, answering questions thoroughly, and making necessary changes according to our wishes in the planning process. At the wedding day, all our guests loved the vibe of our captain François and his crew. They were smiling, chatty and made sure that our experience was the best throughout the night. They made sure that they followed all safety procedures while picking the best views and attending to each guest's needs. Food served on board was also delicious! We couldn't have imagined a better experience.

We hired a Catamaran for a works evening cruise, departing from and returning to La Ciotat. Meeting the vessel was very easy as we had been provided with clear details and a WhatsApp group had also been set up. Captain Alice and her crew of 2 looked after us admirably; we had booked the dinner buffet menu with additional pissaladiere and pizza, which was thoroughly enjoyed. We also purchased the Soft Drinks / Wine / Beer package that was good value.

Thoroughly recommend Arthaud Yachting who provided a first class service to us; we had never done this sort of event before and we were guided through it with great efficiency.
