Port de Saint-Laurent-du-Var sits at the mouth of the Var river, immediately west of Nice Côte d’Azur airport — close enough that the aircraft pass overhead on approach. That proximity is the whole point of the berth: no marina on the coast puts a yacht closer to an international airport, and for guest changes and crew rotations it is unbeatable.

It is also a working marina rather than a display one. The quay has chandlers, sail lofts, restaurants and actual parking, the berthing costs are a fraction of Nice or Antibes a few minutes either side, and a good number of yachts keep a base here precisely because the practical things are easy. Getting a pallet to a passerelle, for instance, is easy.

We deliver here same day by our own van from Antibes — fifteen minutes along the coast. For a yacht doing a fast turnaround between charters with guests flying in and out of Nice, that combination of airport, marina and same-day supply is about as efficient as the Riviera gets, and we build deliveries around the changeover time rather than the working day.

Cagnes-sur-Mer and the Baie des Anges are next door, Nice old town and the Cours Saleya market are ten minutes east, and the Bellet vineyards are in the hills directly above. We carry Bellet alongside the full Provençal rosé range and over 1,500 wines, Champagnes and spirits, every one openly priced online with a downloadable tasting note.
