DOLCE VITA

DOLCE VITA At 9.97 metres, DOLCE VITA belongs to a category the French Riviera does particularly well: the compact, quick, crewed day yacht that turns a stretch of coastline into an afternoon's itinerary. Built in 2012, she cruises at 24 knots and tops out at 27 — enough to leave Monaco after breakfast, find a quiet anchorage for a swim, and still be back in time for dinner ashore without ever feeling rushed. Her operating area covers France and Monaco, which is where a yacht of this size genuinely makes sense. No tender queues, no long transfers: she comes alongside easily, slips into small harbours the larger yachts have to admire from a distance, and gives you direct, uncomplicated access to the coves between Cap Ferrat, Cap d'Antibes and the Îles de Lérins. A professional crew handles the boat, the route and the practicalities, so the day stays exactly as informal as you want it to be — a swim stop that runs long, a change of anchorage when the wind shifts, lunch in a bay chosen that morning rather than the week before. Straightforward, fast and well suited to her waters: DOLCE VITA is for guests who want the Riviera at close range, without ceremony.
