Nice is a key French Riviera yacht gateway with airport access, Port Lympia, city culture and routes to Monaco, Antibes and Cannes.
Nice is one of the most important access points to the French Riviera, combining a major international airport, historic city centre, seafront promenade, restaurants, hotels and proximity to Monaco, Antibes, Cannes and Saint-Tropez.
While neighbouring ports often dominate large-yacht berthing, Nice is highly valuable because of its airport and central Riviera position. Port Lympia gives the city a maritime focus, while nearby Villefranche, Antibes and Monaco provide further yacht options.
For owners and guests, Nice is an excellent arrival or departure point for Côte d’Azur cruising. The city offers culture, museums, markets, shopping, beach clubs and easy transfers to the wider Riviera.
