About yachts in France
The French Riviera is one of the busiest stretches of coast in the Mediterranean yacht market, and the listings here show where it gathers: Antibes, Cannes, Nice, Saint-Tropez and the smaller harbours between them, with Corsica to the south. Cannes holds its Yachting Festival each September across the Vieux Port and Port Canto, one of the largest in-water shows in Europe, and Monaco is a short run to the east. The French fleet is wide, from yachts of fifteen metres to superyachts, but most of it sits in the twenties and thirties of metres, from Sunseeker, Sanlorenzo, Azimut and Riva to Dutch and Italian custom yards.

Buying in France
- VAT and tax
- France is in the EU VAT area and its standard VAT rate is 20% as at September 2026. A "VAT paid" yacht is one with the customs status of Union goods, in free circulation in the EU with import VAT settled. A non-EU-registered yacht owned by a person established outside the EU can generally be used privately in EU waters under temporary admission for up to 18 months without paying import duty or VAT.

- Flag and registration
- Registration under the French flag (francisation) and the annual navigation charges are handled by the maritime affairs administration since 1 January 2022, with the annual charge now called the annual tax on personal-use maritime craft. Commercial yachts over 15 metres in international trade can use the French International Register (RIF), while many large private yachts on the Riviera fly foreign flags such as the Red Ensign, Malta or the Cayman Islands.
- Berths
- Port Vauban in Antibes has a superyacht quay for yachts up to 150 metres, the Port of Saint-Tropez has 729 berths with the Estienne d'Orves jetty taking yachts up to 80 metres, and Port de Cap d'Ail has a basin of 10 berths for yachts from 40 to 65 metres. Riviera berths in July and August are in high demand and larger yachts usually book well ahead.
- Refit and survey
- The south of France has substantial refit capacity: at La Ciotat around 150 yachts a year pass through the shipyards, about a hundred of them over 50 metres, with platforms for yachts up to 115 metres and a large dry dock. MB92 also operates refit yards at La Ciotat and Golfe-Juan.
- When to view
- The French Riviera is the heart of the Mediterranean summer season, broadly May to October, with yachts gathering between Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Antibes and Monaco. The Cannes Yachting Festival is held each September in the Vieux Port and Port Canto, and the Régates Royales classic regatta takes place in Cannes in September.

Questions buyers ask
Does a yacht lying in France pay French VAT?
Only if VAT is due on her. France is inside the European Union and its standard rate is twenty per cent, so a yacht that is VAT paid in any member state can be used privately here without a further liability, while one that is VAT unpaid needs a clear plan before an EU resident takes her over. Monaco applies French VAT on the same basis. The listing gives her status where the seller has recorded it.
When is the best time to view a yacht on the Riviera?
Outside July and August if you can. In high summer many yachts on this coast are out cruising or on charter, and a viewing has to be fitted around that. September is busy in a different way: the autumn show season puts a great many yachts and buyers on the same few miles of coast. Spring and the later autumn are the easier windows.
Do I need a survey and a sea trial?
On any yacht that has been in the water, yes. A survey establishes the condition of the hull, the machinery and the systems, and a sea trial shows how she actually behaves at operating speed and at anchor. Offers are normally made subject to both, so the findings can be discussed before anything is final. On a yacht in build the equivalent is the yard's own sequence of inspections and the handover trials at the end of it.
How does buying a yacht through Boatcrowd work?
You tell us which yacht interests you through the enquiry form on her listing. We confirm she is still available at the price shown, collect the documents the seller holds, and arrange a viewing wherever she is lying. From there the usual sequence is an offer subject to survey and sea trial, a deposit held in a client account, the survey and trial themselves, and then closing and registration. The Boatcrowd team coordinates each step and stays with you through it.
