BELLE PLAGE

BELLE PLAGE — Ferretti, 2018 Twenty metres of Ferretti pedigree, delivered in 2018 and based where a fast 66-footer makes the most sense: the French Riviera and Monaco. This is the size of yacht that turns a coastline into a day's itinerary rather than a single destination — Cannes for lunch, Saint-Tropez by mid-afternoon, back in time for the evening in Monaco. The performance is genuinely useful rather than theoretical. BELLE PLAGE cruises comfortably at 25 knots and tops out at 33, which means the crossing to the Îles de Lérins or a run along the Esterel coast is measured in minutes, not in planning. Ferretti has built its reputation on exactly this balance — a hull that holds its composure at speed, and interior volumes that don't feel sacrificed to achieve it. Onboard, the character is unmistakably Italian: clean lines, generous glazing, and living spaces arranged so that the sea stays present wherever you settle. The flow between the aft deck, the saloon and the foredeck is the kind of layout that works as well for a long lunch at anchor as for a quiet morning before anyone else is awake. A professional crew looks after the yacht and its guests, handling the navigation, the service and the practical rhythm of the day so that the charter runs without friction — the discreet competence that separates a chartered yacht from a rented one. For a week between Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, or simply a few days of Riviera cruising done properly, BELLE PLAGE offers the right combination of pace, size and Italian build quality.
