OVER THE RAINBOW OF LONDON | 1930

Best for: families with children, with groups of friends seeking classic character a close second.

Built in 1930 and still turning heads on the Côte d'Azur, OVER THE RAINBOW OF LONDON is one of the most historically distinctive motor yachts available for charter out of Cannes. Her 95 years of seafaring history give her a presence that modern builds simply cannot replicate, and Captain Tim Cooter, who has skippered her since 2018, knows every inch of her. With over 15 years commanding luxury yachts in the Mediterranean, Tim crafts bespoke itineraries ranging from hidden coves to the most glamorous ports on the Riviera, backed by a crew of five including Chief Stewardess Nicol Veronico, whose background in fine dining and boutique hotel management sets the tone for every meal and moment aboard.

She sleeps up to 11 guests across four staterooms, with a flexible cabin configuration specifically suited to two families travelling together. The water toys list is generous: a three-person jet ski, two Seabobs F5S, electric boards, wakeboards, kayaks, paddleboards, and towables mean there is rarely a dull afternoon at anchor.
