Welcome to the fourth edition of the Yacht Insider’s Guide to the French Med! Here you will find exclusive “inside” information on shoreside attractions throughout the south coast of France, as well as a detailed listing of services that owners, captains and crew will find useful.
The Guide is designed to be easy to navigate so you can find what you are looking for quickly. The first half is dedicated to individual chapters, each highlighting a particular region – starting with Marseille and running east to Monaco, including Corsica. Each chapter includes an overview with a local map and individual sections covering MARINAS, WHERE TO EAT DRINK & GO OUT, WHAT TO DO, WHERE TO STAY and other useful info. The second half of the Guide is a comprehensive listing of a wide variety of services ranging from provisions, laundry, flowers and car rentals to major shipyards, refrigeration specialists, hydraulic technicians and carpenters – all neatly organized by category for easy reference.
The Guide is the result of exhaustive on-site research, backed by countless interviews with captains, crew members and yacht owners. Quite simply, if we do not hear good things about a particular service or supplier, you will not see it here. By publishing the Guide in late spring, we aim to bring you the most current and reliable information possible. Our primary goal is to enhance your overall experience – whether it be having fun on land, finding what you need or getting things done.
See the link below for a PDF version of the printed guide.

Read about the 2017 MYBA Charter Show at OneOcean Port Vell, Barcelona’s premier marina. The new location is reinvigorating the superyacht industry.

We are excited to announce our new web site. The site now features advanced faceted and full text search, as well as location search for listings.
The new site also uses a responsive design for mobile devices.
We averaged over 5,000 vistors per month during the past 12 months, and we continure to grow.

2013 was also very successful and busy for us: we celebrated our 5th anniversary and are very pleased by the popularity of both our printed guides and our website.
