The quay that lives up to its name

Thanks to an extensive renovation undertaken by the atelier d’architecture Philippe Prost, le Quai des Milliardaires and the Iyca neighbourhood have been given a new lease of life.

UNPRECEDENTED INFRASTRUCTURES

After being treated to a real metamorphosis, the Quai Camille Rayon, a quayside unique in the Mediterranean, 150 metres long, provides accommodation for up to 20 Superyachts from 70m. Controlled on a 24/7 basis, its entrance guarantees full security and total privacy for these exclusive clients throughout their stay.

Specific services have been developed and modern infrastructures installed for this international clientele, including suction vacuum pumping for grey and black water, fibre-optic, and enhanced electrical power. The life of crews on a stopover has not been neglected: thanks to the creation of private handiwork areas and shaded relaxation zones, they can enjoy barbecues and sports activities in the open air while admiring the view of the hinterland. The specific services from which clients can benefit include private access (ISPS), a concierge service, VIP pontoons, catering and special events areas, and the loan of small electric vehicles.

INTERNATIONAL YACHT CLUB OF ANTIBES

The most spectacular part of this renovation is the remarkable metamorphosis of the International Yacht Club of Antibes. Drawing inspiration from Explorer-style ships, its overall architecture offers top amenities and spaces for the Quai Camille Rayon clientele. The new IYCA enables clients looking for discretion to benefit from a premium, personalised reception in the heli-pad lounge next to the heli-station.

Two panoramic terraces with a total surface area of 700 sqm offer unimpeded views of the Fort Carré, the marina and the bay of Antibes for clients and members, who can also take advantage of the privacy of a lounge bar and meeting-rooms. The Crew Center also offers a lounge, a gym and a training studio. The IYCA proposes a comprehensive array of mooring options in both summer and winter, and an extremely competent team is on hand all year round to welcome its clients for short or longer stays. In charge of management, the Vauban 21 company has teamed up with the renowned firms of Burgess and Edmiston to propose long-term guaranteed use contracts (CGUs) for berths on Quai Camille Rayon.

Nestling at the heart of the French Riviera, with a rich and historic architectural heritage, Port Vauban writes another chapter in its tale by incorporating contemporary advances. Undergoing constant improvement, the marina is gradually becoming the most attractive destination on the Côte d’Azur. And the completion of this perfectly mastered renovation underscores the position of Port Vauban as the N°1 high-end yachting centre in the Mediterranean.
