Yacht Charter Antibes: The Top Things to Do During Your Charter

Antibes Old Town (Vieille Antibes) is reasonably small to explore. So a day charter here is ideal if added onto a yacht charter from Cannes, St Tropez or Monaco.

There are a number of diverse museums including the Musée Peynet, Archaeology Museum, Musée de la Tour and Postcard Museum. The best known of Antibes’ museums is the Picasso Museum. Located inside the restored Château Grimaldi, that once belonged to the influential Grimaldi family who took royal posts in Cagnes, Monaco and Grasse.

The Picasso Museum is best reached by walking along the old remparts where you can get panoramic views of the town beach Plage de la Gravette, the superyachts berthed at the IYCA (International Yacht Club d’Antibes) quay at Port Vauban and 16 th -century Fort Carré in the distance.

Antibes’ markets offer a glimpse into French life. The Marché Provençal at Cours Masséna is a lively market, selling fruit, vegetables, flowers, cured meats, olives, herbs and hand-milled soaps. It is open daily except Mondays from September to May. Thursday sees the rue Lacan car park become a large clothing market. And also a small but interesting antiques / brocante market is hosted at place Audiberti on both Thursday and Saturday.

The district of Safranier at the western edge of Old Town has pretty cobblestoned streets with flower boxes. It also has the ancient lavoir (wash house) and at number 8 Rue Bas-Castellet you’ll find the house that Nikos Kazantzakis, the author of ‘Zorba the Greek’ lived in. Don’t forget your camera on your yacht charter Antibes!

Antibes has a good range of restaurants and bars if you're seeking a meal or drink ashore.

Suggested Restaurants and Bars in Antibes

Antibes has a good range of restaurants and bars if you’re seeking a meal or drink ashore. 212 Yachts can give suggestions for the latest bars to frequent and top restaurants. Or for a place to relax with a quiet drink in the evening during your yacht charter Antibes.

Le Figuier de Saint-Espirit, located 5 minutes walk from Port Vauban, is hidden off the tourist path but worth finding. Awarded a Michelin star, Chef Christian Morisset focuses on precise cooking with immaculate presentation. They often have ‘2 meals for the price of 1’ promotions on their website. Make a reservation for a table under the fig tree in the courtyard.

A Taste of the Finest Wines

If you fancy a glass of wine try one of three distinctly different wine bars, all located within a few minutes from Port Vauban. Winebar is the latest addition to Antibes nightlife. A chic bar with contemporary décor with highly knowledgeable bar staff. Café Brun is popular with a young crowd. It has friendly staff and a funky décor with leather armchairs, bicycles suspended from the ceiling and great artwork. Ô 6 Conceptstore Bar à Vins (6 rue des Palmiers) with vaulted stone interior. With weekly live music it’s a good choice for an apéritif.

Le Carnet de Bord is a bistro-style restaurant where diners can choose from an inventive menu. With specialties such as scallops with pumpkin, ginger and fennel or caramelised pork fillet with girolle mushrooms and sweet potato. Ensure you reserve a table as the seating is limited.

La Tour Antique ( 4 rue de la Tourraque) situated a short distance from the remparts is ideal for a romantic meal. With less than 20 covers reservations are essential, as locals and tourists alike seek out this Italian restaurant. The menu is concise with 4 options for entrees, pasta, mains and desserts. However, you won’t regret dining there as the hospitable staff present quality food in a welcoming atmosphere.

For a relaxed ambiance, Pimm’s Bar on rue de la République is a fantastic place to sit with a pastis or chilled glass of rosé and watch the passerbys. To sample the best pâtisseries head to Pâtisserie Cottard (8 boulevard Dugommier) or Aux Délices Antibois (12 rue de la République).

For yacht charter clients, Antibes has a diverse range of stores retailing everything from souvenirs to Marseillaise soaps to homewares and luxury accessories.

Yacht Charter Antibes: Shopping Opportunities

If you’re looking for gifts, head to rue Aubernon, rue Thuret, place Nationale and rue James Close. There you’ll find shops with displays of jewellery, paintings, gadgets, children’s toys, homeware and fragranced body products.

For fashion, wander along rue Georges Clemenceau, rue de la République or the top of boulevard Wilson.

Food connoisseurs stroll along rue Sade with it’s boutiques with gourmet food products and premium kitchenware. We recommend Fromagerie L’Etable (1 rue Sade) who are one of the French Riviera’s best cheese suppliers. Maison Bremond 1830 (4 rue Sade) stocks artisan vinegars and conserves is also a must see. Amalthé (12 rue Sade) has beautiful tins of tea blends or stop into Oliviers & Co (13 rue Sade) for exceptional olive oil.

If you’re seeking an artwork or bespoke piece of jewellery, head along the streets near the Picasso Museum. There you can find the small galleries or visit rue des Bains.

Monoprix is Antibes’ answer to a department store. Combined with a supermarket you’ll find it located at place de Gaulle, 10 minutes walk from the Antibes train station. Here you will find women’s, men’s and kids fashion, accessories and beauty.

Getting Around

Uber works as a perfect option if you are in a rush, but keep in mind the high costs. A short trip will easily cost 15 euros, and going between ports will jump closer to 100 euros. Your best bet is getting the local train which runs the entire distance and frequently stops at the main stations.

More crew are starting to buy electric scooters, which are handy. Otherwise, keep your bike or skateboard handy. It gets hot in summer, and it’s a bit faster to get around. Antibes port is near to the old town but be prepared for a long walk if you want to hit up the beach bars on the other side. Wear comfortable shoes!

Expect to pay about 1.50 EUR for each minute distance in Uber (approx for consideration) whereas the single train ticket cost starts from 3,10 EUR. Bargain! (side note, you can buy snacks and wine on the train!)

Visit Cannes, Antibes, Nice, Monaco all of them are just 30-40 minute distance between them – if you are in any of these cities you will love to visit these neighbouring cities and explore. You can easily take the train and walk to your destination.

For something totally different- try Tandem paragliding in Greolieres .

Hire a car (or take the crew car if you can!) and drive out to the Gorges du Verdon . It’s a stunning spot just a few hour’s drive away where you can kayak, white water raft or do Via Ferrata.

If you take the train to San Remo , there is a cycle track that loops from the railway station to San Lorenzo and back. It’s 30 km in total and San Lorenzo is the perfect place for a nice lunch before you cycle back. You can easily rent a bike from one of the many places around the station carpark.

Take the crew car again, and go Paddleboarding at Lac St Cassien or the Esterels . The tourist offices have guidebooks for mountain biking, horse riding and local hiking trails.

Hiking, there are so many, some are close by, for example, a walk up a valley from Biot to Vallbone. Download the app called AllTrails for more ideas.

There is a forest canyon ropes courses and zip lines in Ville Neurve Loubet which make for a great day out. Also, plenty of bike trails winding through castles, and villages and offering something different from Antibes usual vibe.

If you are wintering in Antibes and want to get away, Isola or Auron , are ski stations less than 2.5 hours drive from Antibes.

Antibes Beaches

Being based in Antibes has its perks for you- there are so many beaches to explore. A word of caution though, during summer these are absolute hot spots, so get there early to claim your patch of “sand”

• Plage de la Gravette (aka the toilet bowl) is a sandy beach right in the heart of town, located right beside Port Vauban – it gets busy in summer because of its location.
• Plage de la Salis and Ponteil are two sandy beaches a short distance from old town Antibes – there are ‘snacks’ (food kiosks) located there, public toilets and a sailing club where you can hire kayaks, windsurfers etc.  
• If you want a private beach, Royal Beach has a nice outlook on the sea and offers loungers and umbrellas for a fee.
• A bit further from Antibes, Plage de la Garoupe has a small public beach (super busy in summer) and private beach clubs at Plage Keller and Plage Joseph .

Less best kept secret and more Mediterranean favourite, nothing says French Riviera like the glistening waters of Antibes. Equally as elegant as its neighbouring hotspots of Monaco and Cannes, it has an allure of its own that gives your Mediterranean charter the final dust of gold it deserves...

Unbeatable nightlife, glamorous hotspots, luxury boutiques, Antibes ticks every box. While 'private' seems to be the buzz word for everything in Antibes, superyacht owners can relish in moments of privacy and seclusion as well as places to be seen, on and off your superyacht. 

The area is a popular destination for superyacht travelers, who love strolling down the rustic cobblestone streets of Old Town and through bustling open-air markets filled with local food. Art lovers will want to see Picasso's paintings in a 12th-century chateau and check out the Antibes Art Fair. The town is also a great spot to enjoy a variety of beaches and a botanical garden, perfect at marveling at its manicured beauty, something known to the French Riviera Region.

Old Town Elegance Take a walk through the narrow streets of vielle ville, the historic Old Town. Divided into the old port and the newer Port Vauban, superyachts genetly dot the horizon. Spot the historic site of The Cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-la-Platea d'Antibes with its wooden sculptured front and well worth stepping inside for its crucifix of 1447 and a Virgin sculpted 1515.

Art Lovers Rejoice The former Château Grimaldi at Antibes, with a rich heritage and colourful history stretching hundreds of years is a must see. In 1946, Spanish artist Pablo Picasso came to live in the Château Grimaldi and was so delighted with the place and the views out to sea that he later gave a large number of his works to the town. For art lovers this is an unmissable hotspot to be relished. 

Local Markets Each day in Cours Masséna in the heart of Old Town, the Provencal market 'Le Marche Provencal' takes place. This wonderful sight offers a vibrant escape into bustling locals who make their way through fresh local produce and unites international travellers for a taste of local life, just as the locals do.

Live updates, european nations resurrect, expand compulsory military service in face of russian threat.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Some European countries have resurrected or expanded their compulsory military service after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine — a once-unthinkable policy shift fueled by the notion that they’d have to respond quickly if the Russian bear trudges across their borders.

Many nations ended their drafts after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. But as the risk of a widening war rises, alarm bells have sounded in countries near the Russian border, including the smaller Scandinavian and Baltic states most likely to be threatened.

“We are coming to the realization that we may have to adjust the way we mobilize for war and adjust the way we produce military equipment and we recruit and train personnel,” said Robert Hamilton, head of Eurasia research at the Foreign Policy Research Institute and a former US Army officer, to CNN on Sunday.

“It is tragically true that here we are in 2024 and we are grappling with the questions of how to mobilize millions of people to be thrown into a meatgrinder of a war potentially,” Hamilton said.

“But this is where Russia has put us.”  

The tiny nation of Latvia — with its just under 2 million people wedged between Russia and the Baltic Sea — is the latest to reintroduce conscription, which it abolished in 2006.

As of Jan. 1, 2024, men must register for the draft as soon as they turn 18.

The country’s citizens pushed back at first, according to Arturs Pīlācis, a 20-year-old student. But that faded as the need to defend their homeland became clear, CNN said.

“There wasn’t really an option where we can stand by and think things will go on as they were before because of the unprovoked aggression in Ukraine,” he told the network.

In Norway — which already has mandatory conscription — elected officials presented in April a long-term plan to double the defense budget and draft 20,000 soldiers, employees and reservists to serve in the armed forces.

“We need a defense that is fit for purpose in the emerging security environment,” Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said.

Some of the conscripted seem to agree.

“I am willing to fight for my country if need be because I believe in the values that the Norwegian society is built on, and I believe those values of inclusion and equality and democracy are worth fighting for,” said student Jens Bartnes, a 26-year-old who finished his military training about seven years ago.

Lithuania, another Baltic state with a long-simmering fear of Russian invasion, has seen similar changes since it reintroduced conscription in 2015, CNN said.

Not everyone there is fond of the draft, according to Paulius Vaitiekus, president of Lithuania’s National Students’ Union.

But there has been “a shift in the mindset of the youth towards being more active, although not necessarily through conscripting,” he said, adding that students have been sending supplies to the Ukrainian front to help the embattled nation fight off its Russian aggressor.

Other countries such as Finland, Norway and Sweden have small standing armies but also the ability to call up thousands — and sometimes hundreds of thousands — of already-trained volunteers at a moment’s notice.

The Finnish Defense Force, for example, only has about 13,000 active members. But it can activate nearly a million reservists — and 280,000 of those can respond immediately, CNN said.

That makes it a good example of how to mix a small professional army with a mammoth amount of civilian reinforcements, Hamilton said.

That model worked well against the Russians in the past, specifically when the country nearly fought the Soviet Union to a standstill during a series of savage wars that ended with the Moscow Armistice in 1944.

Germany has also sought to reinvigorate its military, which has not been a priority since the country’s defeat in World War II.

This year, the nation updated its plans to respond to a war in Europe. And last month, Defense Minister Boris Pistorius proposed a new voluntary military service so the country would be “ready for war by 2029.”

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization — a k a NATO — is also trying to up its game in response to the Russian threat.

“Since 2014, NATO has undergone the most significant transformation in our collective defense in a generation,” rep Farah Dakhlallah told CNN.

“We have put in place the most comprehensive defense plans since the Cold War, with currently more than 500,000 troops at high readiness.”

The alliance doesn’t tell its members whether to conscript citizens, Dakhlallah said. But about a third do, and others are now weighing it.

“The important thing is that allies continue to have capable armed forces to protect our territory and our populations,” Dakhlallah said.

Retired US Gen. Wesley Clark said Putin’s campaign of open war against Ukraine — with the goal of recreating the Soviet empire — should be a wake-up call.

“So we’ve now got a war in Europe that we never thought we would see again,” Clark, who also served as NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe, told CNN.

“Whether this is a new Cold War or an emerging hot war is unclear,” he continued.

Still, “it’s a very imminent warning to NATO that we’ve got to rebuild our defenses.”

Yachts in your shortlist

Some like boats, trains or planes. For this Avon man, it's all about school buses.

Nick Whitlow still has the picture from his first kindergarten school bus ride. He's holding onto the handrail while wearing a backpack, and the world's largest smile. The picture sits nestled in a box near other memorabilia, paintings and trinkets detailing his love of transportation — specifically his love for school buses.

"I was obsessed from the get-go," he said with a laugh. "Some people like motorcycles. Some people like sports cars. Some people like boats, trains or planes. It's school buses for me, 100%.”

That's why it was no surprise that when Whitlow graduated from Avon Community Schools in 2017, he immediately began pursuing his career as a school bus driver.

Whitlow spent the next three years as a bus aide for Brownsburg Community Schools. When he turned 21, the legal age to drive a school bus in Indiana, he picked up a route of his own and drove one year for Brownsburg before shifting gears and joining the transportation team at Avon Schools. Whitlow is a standby driver, filling in for drivers who miss a shift, which he prefers.

"I enjoy being on standby because there's that variety," he said, entering his fourth year in Avon. "I love getting to drive all the different types of buses. And you get to talk to different kids."

Aside from his driving duties, Whitlow takes students to extracurricular activities and also teaches new drivers the commercial driver's license (CDL) ropes. From bus alarms and pre-trip checklists to road safety, Whitlow hopes trainees leave with at least some of his passion for driving school buses.

By memory, Whitlow knows all the local bus routes. He can also still recite the names of all his childhood school bus drivers. He's even driven alongside a few of them in his Avon role and it's something he cherishes deeply.

Whitlow acknowledges not everyone can drive a 40-foot school bus but he says that's what makes them so appealing. Avon Schools has approximately 100 bus drivers and more than 130 buses.

On a recent trip that took him down Dan Jones Road in Avon through traffic, Whitlow maneuvered around multiple roundabouts without even coming close to the white lane lines. It's his superpower and says he feels for bus drivers in Carmel, as red lights can be a nice respite and also a chance to reflect.

“There is no greater realization of the importance of what you’re doing,” Whitlow said, “than when you’re stopped at a red light and you look up in your mirror and you see 60, 70 kids staring at you all counting on me to get them home safely.”

When not in the driver's seat, Whitlow can be found traveling the country using public transportation. He enjoys New York City's subway, Chicago's "L" rail system, city buses and recently took a 52-hour Amtrak trip to San Francisco. All of which he says helps him become part of the city he's visiting.

More from Avon: They called him the miracle mascot. They thought his run was over. It wasn't

As the end of summer, spring and fall breaks near, Whitlow grows more and more eager to return to work. There's just something about being in the driver's seat that brings him comfort and happiness. Sometimes he says it's just seeing and hearing from the students who take a minute out of their day to say, "Hi Mr. Nick!"

At 25, Whitlow knows he still has his whole future in front of him but he can't image himself doing anything different.
