Berths for sale: Secure your superyacht’s future now
The demand for premium superyacht berths is surging with the number of yachts in build at an all-time high, including 100 over 70m. Finding the perfect mooring spot has never been more critical – currently just 8 berths are available for lease in the South of France over 60m. Owners and captains must act fast to secure berths that not only offer prime locations but also enhance operational efficiency.
Owning a superyacht berth isn’t just about convenience; it’s about securing certainty in an increasingly competitive market. A berth in a world-class marina ensures seamless service, optimal maintenance, and unparalleled amenities for both owners and crew. Three of the most sought-after berthing locations—IYCA Antibes, Porto Montenegro, and Cap d’Ail—offered by Edmiston, provide exclusive long-term opportunities that should not be missed.
IYCA Antibes
Edmiston is proudly the co-exclusive lease sales partner of the International Yacht Club Antibes (IYCA) at Port Vauban, offering a rare chance to secure long-term lease berths in one of the most exclusive marinas on the French Riviera. Strategically located between Monaco and St. Tropez, close to the airports of Nice and Cannes, the IYCA provides an unparalleled base for summer cruising and winter berthing alike.
The IYCA is the only marina in the area with ISPS security, ensuring top-tier safety for your vessel. Given the extreme shortage of superyacht berths, particularly for larger yachts, securing a spot here is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The next concession is not until 2043, making this a long-term investment in stability and exclusivity.
Beyond location, the IYCA offers exclusive access to a brand-new yacht club, a private helipad, and a dedicated crew club, ensuring a superior experience for both owners and crew. With supply dwindling and demand surging, the time to act is now—before all available berths are claimed.
Porto Montenegro
Regarded as one of the most picturesque and well-equipped marinas in the world, Porto Montenegro offers an unbeatable combination of beauty, safety, and state-of-the-art facilities.
Strategically positioned in the fjord-like Bay of Kotor, located between Croatia and the Greek Ionian Islands, Porto Montenegro is in one of the most stunning cruising grounds. Its award-winning marina is supported by shipyard facilities at Adriatic 42 and a large LOA haul-out shipyard located just a few miles across the bay.
Another significant advantage is accessibility. With three international airports nearby, including Tivat Airport just five minutes away with tender access, crew changes, owner visits and charter transitions are seamless. This marina is more than just a seasonal stop—it has become a true year-round homeport offering world-class amenities and a thriving superyacht community.
Cap d’Ail
For owners who desire proximity to Monaco with long-term security, Cap d’Ail is the ideal choice. Unlike Monaco’s public marinas, which have limited long-term availability, Cap d’Ail provides stable, long-term berthing solutions, making it the port of choice for Monaco-based yacht owners.
Located on the French Monegasque border, Cap d’Ail is just minutes from Monaco’s bustling city centre while offering a quieter and more private marina environment. The port boasts a fuel station, a chandler and shipyard for essential maintenance and service, restaurants, and beach clubs for owners and guests to enjoy. Additionally, there are ample recreation facilities nearby, such as tennis courts, squash courts, beach volley and a gym which provide excellent amenities for crew well-being, ensuring a comfortable and convenient experience for all on board. With the added advantage of Monaco’s fiscal benefits for yacht owners, securing a berth in Cap d’Ail is an excellent strategic investment.
Secure Your Berth Before It’s Too Late
The rapid increase in superyacht production, combined with a stagnant supply of berths, has created a significant market imbalance. As yachts grow in size, the demand for larger berths continues to outpace availability, especially in these prestigious locations. Owners who delay, risk missing out and potentially face costly and less convenient alternatives.
By investing in a long-term berth lease, owners can eliminate uncertainty, reduce operational costs, and enhance the overall experience for their vessel, crew, and guests. Whether it’s the prestige of the IYCA Antibes, the beauty of Porto Montenegro, or the exclusivity of Cap d’Ail, securing a berth now ensures prime positioning in the world’s most sought-after yachting destinations.
With only a few berths remaining, the window of opportunity is closing fast. Contact us today to secure your superyacht’s future before it’s too late.
