Yacht-Side Chauffeur
Service

For owners and charter guests stepping ashore on the Côte d'Azur, the journey should begin the moment they reach the quay. TSPDV coordinates directly with vessel crew to deliver a shore-side experience as refined as life aboard.

The Service

From the tender
to the table

The French Riviera is home to the world's most significant superyacht ports — Port Vauban in Antibes, Port Hercule in Monaco, the Palais des Festivals quay in Cannes, and the legendary anchorages of Saint-Tropez. When owners and charter guests step ashore, TSPDV is the first point of contact with the land.

We work hand-in-hand with captains, chief stewardesses, and charter managers to understand the day's programme, passenger numbers, and any particular protocols the vessel requires. The vehicle is positioned quayside — or as close as port authority permits — and the chauffeur stands ready, briefed, and formally attired.

Return transfers are managed with equal precision. Whether guests are returning from a Michelin-starred dinner in Mougins, an evening at the Casino de Monte-Carlo, or a full-day excursion through the hills of Provence, the vehicle is waiting at the agreed time — never a minute late.

Charter Week Arrangements

A dedicated vehicle for
the entire charter

For charter parties spending a week or more on the Riviera, TSPDV offers an exclusive retained arrangement: one vehicle and one chauffeur, dedicated entirely to your vessel's shore-side programme for the duration. This is our preferred model — it builds familiarity, trust, and the kind of seamless anticipation that cannot be replicated with on-demand bookings.

Charter managers and yacht brokers are invited to discuss multi-vessel deployments for flotilla events, MIPIM, LYBRA, or the Monaco Grand Prix — where coordinated transport logistics require military precision.

Typical Shore Programmes
  • Restaurant transfers — Mougins, Èze-Village, Monaco, Grasse
  • Day excursions — Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Perfumeries of Grasse, Cannes shopping
  • Casino evenings — Monte-Carlo, Cannes
  • Private villa visits and wine domaine tours
  • Airport connections for crew or guest changes
  • Medical, shopping, and discreet personal errands
Frequently asked questions

Questions from captains & brokers

TSPDV serves all major ports along the Côte d'Azur: Port Vauban (Antibes), the Palais des Festivals quay (Cannes), Port Hercule (Monaco), Port Grimaud (Saint-Tropez), and anchorages in between. We can also arrange tender-to-road transfers for guests arriving by tender at public quays.

Absolutely. We regularly liaise directly with vessel crew to confirm shore-side logistics, passenger manifests, and return windows. The chauffeur is briefed on confidentiality expectations and adapts to the yacht's scheduling with complete flexibility.

Yes. Many yacht managers and charter brokers retain TSPDV for the full duration of a charter — typically one to three weeks — with a dedicated vehicle and chauffeur on call during shore-side hours. This is our preferred arrangement and delivers the most seamless experience for guests.

Our Mercedes-Benz V-Class carries up to 7 passengers. For larger charter parties, we can deploy multiple vehicles in coordinated rotation — a standard arrangement for owners with 10 or more guests embarking simultaneously.
