Anchor in either Villefranche or dock in Saint Jean Cap Ferrat on a crewed yacht charter, and you can enjoy and explore lovely Cap Ferrat on a crewed yacht charter along the southern coast of France while cruising along the beautiful French Riviera.
Cap Ferrat from Villefranche The ancient Greeks knew Cap Ferrat as Aneo, and through the centuries, the peninsula changed hands many times until 1860 when the county of Nice, including Cap Ferrat, was ceded by treaty to France. From that point on, the small fishing village of Saint Jean on Cap Ferrat became a magnet for the wealthy and royalty, with villas sprouting up all along the peninsula surrounded by large walls enclosing private gardens and private beaches, all owned by various of the “Elite” such as Baroness de Rothschild.

There are three beaches on Cap Ferrat, for those that want to soak up the sun along the shoreline of the Cote d’Azur. The Grand Hotel du Cap Ferrat, located on the peninsula, is considered one of the most glamorous hotels in the world. Originally build in 1908, this hotel has seen many prestigious guests walk through the portals such as Presidents and Royalty from countries worldwide.
