Charter an Azimut 72 in Mandelieu-la-Napoule

The generation used in this guide

Azimut's 2022 catalogue lists it at 22.64 metres overall with a 5.60-metre beam, four guest cabins and eight guest berths. The newer Fly 72 uses a different design and slightly different dimensions.

A broad flybridge sits above the enclosed main deck, while the cockpit and foredeck offer further outdoor settings. The arrangement gives guests options during a full day: a view from above, a sheltered seat or a quieter place away from the main table. Current furnishings determine how an individual yacht divides those areas.

Four rooms, one shared plan

For an overnight charter, begin with who will occupy each cabin. Couples, children and friends sharing rooms need different bed arrangements. Then consider the hours the group wants to spend together over meals and the time they prefer ashore.

The itinerary should respect both. A first afternoon near Mandelieu can leave space to board, unpack and enjoy an anchorage without immediately committing to a long passage. For several nights, that unhurried start can be more valuable than adding another port.

The captain can develop the following days around the sea conditions and the party's priorities.

Host the day around a clear occasion

A family celebration, a business lunch and a relaxed gathering with friends all use a yacht differently. Explain the occasion, the number dining together and the desired atmosphere. Catering and crew service can then be planned around the actual event rather than a generic guest count.

Lérins offers one possible centre for the day; the red coast gives another. Choose which matters most and allow time at the stop. If guests plan to join or leave partway through, include that change in the enquiry.

Transfers and meeting points should be part of the programme before anyone makes separate travel arrangements.
