Masquerade of Sole cruises Mediterranean waters between May and September.

With cruising grounds stretching from Gibraltar to Greece, we have the ability to accommodate almost any itinerary be it the Balearics, Sardinia, Cote d' Azur, Amalfi coast, Capri and Ischia, Croatia and Venice, Turkey and Greece.

 

Pretty much all of it in fact!

 

In the winter months, we cross the Atlantic to the warm waters of the Caribbean. We have arranged many different vacations for our guests, taking us to the Virgin Islands, St Barts and Antigua, down to St Lucia, Mustique and all the way round to Mexico.


Itineraries are created on an individual basis in consultation with our guests.

 

To help you get started planning your trip, here are some of our recent trips.

 

7 days, Côte d’Azur - For several decades, this fabulous coastline has attracted superyachts and their guests in force. With all the style and panache of the Principality of Monaco, its famous casino and Grand Prix, to Cannes with its International Film Festival, and the playgrounds of St Tropez and nearby Pamplonne Beach, the region has carved itself a place in every superyacht’s log.

 

However, it’s also the perfect gateway to some enchanting rural villages and the peaceful countryside of Provence with its sedate pace of life. Mountain walks, cliff top restaurants, outdoor sports are all within striking distance of any of our ports of call.

Day 1 Nice to Cap Ferrat
1 hr trip
Embark in the Port of Nice - just 15 minutes by road from Nice International Airport. Set off for the attractive anchorage of Cap Ferrat by the town of St Jean.
Day 2 Cap Ferrat to Cannes
2 hr trip
Anchor out for a day of watersports by the Isles de Lerins, and head into the old port of Cannes for an evening’s promenade and a visit to the Casino.
Day 3 Cannes to St Tropez
3 hr trip
Set sail after breakfast for the lively atmosphere of Pamplonne Beach, and lunch at Club 55. Masquerade docks right inside the Old Port of St Tropez, a spot perfect for people watching, great shopping or a night out in the town.
Day 4 St Tropez to Porquerolles
3 hr trip
These three beautiful, unspoilt islands are off the beaten track a bit, but well worth visiting. Peaceful walks are amongst great scenery, or for the more energetic, a tour of island on mountain bikes can be arranged. Back on the yacht, the clear waters are ideal for swimming.
Day 5 Porquerolles to Cap d’Antibes
4 hr trip
Anchor by the Eden Rock Hotel. The old town of Antibes is a short hop by one of Masquerade’s large tenders. Visit the Picasso Museum or wander through the antiques market and art galleries. Meanwhile, nearby Juan les Pins attracts a young party-going crowd until the early hours.
Day 6 Cap d’Antibes to Villefranche
1.5 hr trip
Villefranche is a pretty and historic town with romantic waterside restaurants and chic shopping. A trip up to the Medievil town of Eze or a visit to the stunning gardens of the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild are always highlights of any charter.
Day 7 Nice
1 hr trip
Some last minute shopping and a short cruise back to Nice

 

St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines - With so many islands, perfect beaches, sheltered coves, and friendly towns, it’s hard to pinpoint what makes a vacation in this island chain so unique. Masquerade has been cruising here for many seasons and has made many friends along the way who help us to make every trip very special.

 

Whether you want a barbeque on a private island, a steel pan orchestra for an on-board concert, a fish caught to order, or an inland trip in air-conditioned luxury, the crew of Masquerade can arrange it.

Day 1 Board Masquerade at the South end of St Lucia. Vieux Fort is 10 mins by taxi from Hewanorra International Airport making for a swift getaway. St Vincent is 4 hrs underway.
Day 2 Customs clearance at the village of Wallilabou – the film setting for Pirates of the Caribbean. St Vincent is a mix of rain-forest and rocky coastline descending South to a large sheltered lagoon. The locals are curious and friendly, often stopping by the yacht, bringing coconuts, bananas and grapefruits to sell.
Day 3 Bequia is a lively little island and town, rarely visited without a yacht. It has great diving, and a wealth of artistic talent from scrimshaw to batik. Restaurants and bars are in abundance, serving local dishes and Caribbean rums.
Day 4 A 2 hr passage further South brings us to the Mustique anchorage. A well known celebrity haunt, with many famous actors and musicians eating at Basils bar, Firefly or Cotton Club. Guests often rent a couple of motorised golf carts and drive around the island for a fun couple of hours.
Day 5 The Tobago Cays are one of the Caribbean’s most perfect beach settings. There is a good reef for snorkeling and diving, and a choice of white sand beaches for whiling away the afternoon, or revving up for an sunset barbeque with the crew looking after you every step of the way.
Day 6 Petit St Vincent is one of the most prestigious resorts in the Caribbean. Sheltered by coral reef and beautiful beaches, good snorkeling and diving sites are everywhere.
Day 7 9 hrs underway overnight to get back to St Lucia. When you wake up in the morning, the spectacular Piton Mountains will be towering above the yacht. Anchored by the 5 start Jalousie Hilton hotel, it is one of the most idyllic bays in the world.
Day 8 Time for a last morning swim and sun worship as the crew pack for you.
Masquerade can cruise back to the south of the Island to the airport, or we can arrange a 10 minute helicopter flight directly from the Hilton.
