Cote d'Azur - Cannes

Fractional Yacht Ownership in South of France & Monaco

The Yacht Share Network in France and Monaco is operated by William Parton, arguably the most experienced British yacht broker in France. He is somewhat unique in the Côte d’Azur, being the ABYA’s most long-standing independent professional yacht brokers association member.

William is resident in the South of France, fluent in English and French and is therefore on hand locally to take care of your needs; with access to an excellent support network of trusted professional contacts.

Since 1995 he has been looking after the sale and maintenance of used and new boats, standing the test of time, he has truly seen and dealt with it all!

The French Riviera just oozes charm and romance. Referred to as the Côte d’Azur, it runs from Italy along to Spain, incorporating the coastline of the French Riviera and Monaco.

It’s the birthplace of stylish yachting. With up to 50% of the worlds’ Superyachts based there and circa 90% of all Superyachts having visited this epicentre of yachting.

It’s no surprise that there are an abundance of coastal hotspots all along this coast. Monaco, Saint Tropez, Cannes, Antibes and Nice are just a few of the must-visit ports of call.

Princess 61 - Côte d'Azur

This timeless and recently refitted Princess 61 offers an incredible value proposition: To own a yacht in the Côte d’Azur. for just £75,000.

Based in Cannes, she’s more than capable of cruising the French and Italian Rivieras as well as Corsica & Sardinia.

During 2021 she has been extensively refitted to include:

New fridges
New engine controls for main helm & flybridge
New cutlass bearings
New rudder bearings
New anchor winch
Major service & upgrades to AC system throughout
Improvements to tender

Her 3 spacious en suite cabins make her a real holiday home in the sun – one that offers exciting new horizons each time you visit.

This syndicate is made up of 6 shareholders each enjoying 8 weeks of use a year. There is an even spread of retirees and parents with school-age children. This means there is a broad cross-section of preferences regarding the choice of school holidays, and those who prefer to avoid time on board during those periods.

Having a full-time Capt on board means this yacht is incredibly well maintained and offers co-owners greater freedoms to cruise locally – or cover greater distances without having to return to its home port for change-over days. Some co-owners agree to work together to create back-to-back itineraries, where one co-owner visits say Corsica or Sardinia on her, and the other picks her up there and subsequently returns her again to her home berth in Cannes. The essence of this syndicate is to create exceptional value boating, coupled with exceptional cruising capabilities.

This syndicate is a Fractional Association Platinum Member, working to the association’s Code of Conduct and fulfilling their Maintenance Management criteria. This includes an owners’ website for the selection of their weeks, a communication forum and real-time access to the management accounts.
