Where to land a yachting job

This is an age old question. So, you are making your first foray into the yachting world and you are trying to work out where to base yourself. Where to go? Palma or Antibes? Obviously you don’t have to live in either of these but you need to have easy access to both as this is where all the action is!

There are a few pros and cons to both:..

Antibes

Antibes is in the south of France between Cannes and Nice. It was a picturesque old fishing village originally which has developed over time. Full of restaurants, bars and pretty average shopping, it is a yachting mecca and the place where it all began for yachting.

Palma

 

Palma is a gorgeous city in Majorca, an amazing island full of beautiful beaches and coves, Ibiza isn’t too far away either!

Negatives

 

If I was looking to get a job in yachting again I would definitely base myself in the south of France. If I had plenty of cash saved or I was doing well with the day work, I would maybe try a week or two in Palma as well to break things up. If I was looking for somewhere to live with no work considerations I would choose Palma.

Good luck with whatever you decide!
