Who BLACK ZEN suits
Sunseeker motor yacht BLACK ZEN provides a welcoming platform for families or friends seeking relaxed coastal cruising. With accommodation for 8 guests across 4 cabins, she is looked after by a dedicated crew of 3 who manage life on board. Built in 2006 and refitted in 2019, this 25 m yacht balances sociable deck space with comfort, featuring outdoor sun pads for sunbathing, an indoor audio system, and water toys including paddleboards and a wakeboard.
When weighed alongside similar yachts listed for the French Riviera, BLACK ZEN holds a very consistent position. Her length is similar to comparable motor yachts in these waters, and she accommodates the same guest count on board. Her build year is also similar to alternatives in the area, while charterers will find that her weekly rate is similar to peers across the local charter fleet.
The best time to plan a charter aboard BLACK ZEN is during winter 2026, when she cruises the West Mediterranean. Her cruising grounds cover Spain, the Balearic Islands, the French Riviera, and the Amalfi Coast. Cruising in months such as April, May, November, or December lets guests experience these scenic coastlines and anchorages during quieter periods of the cruising calendar.

Cruising the French Riviera: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The charter season runs from May to October. July and August bring warm, settled weather with temperatures reaching 30°C, alongside heavy maritime traffic. May, June, and September provide pleasant temperatures, lighter crowds, and reliable breezes, often influenced by afternoon thermal winds. October is quieter with cooler evenings and an increased risk of autumn squalls or the Mistral blowing from the Rhône valley.
Practical tips
- Posidonia seagrass protection regulations are strictly enforced across the coast; yachts over 24 metres face specific anchoring restrictions and must use designated mooring zones.
- Local markets in Antibes and Cannes provide fresh produce, while crew can coordinate with shoreside agents for duty-free stores and specialist provisioning.
- Observe the five-knot speed limit within 300 metres of the coast, and reduce generator and water-toy noise when sharing anchorages with other vessels.
Anchorages to know
- Rade de VillefrancheA deep, natural harbour west of Cap Ferrat providing reliable holding and shelter from prevailing easterly and westerly winds.
- Îles de LérinsThe narrow channel between Île Sainte-Marguerite and Île Saint-Honorat offers a sandy seabed for daytime anchoring close to Cannes.
- Cap TaillatThe eastern side of the isthmus offers clear water and shelter from westerly winds, though it remains exposed to easterly swells.
- Baie des FourmisSituated east of Cap Ferrat near Beaulieu-sur-Mer, this bay provides a calm daytime anchorage in settled conditions with cliff views.
