The official operator publishes a capacity of 1,500 berths and states that the port can accommodate yachts up to 150 metres. For Luxury Yacht Guide, the importance of Port Vauban is not its largest berths but the breadth of facilities available to visiting yachts in the 12–23.99 metre range.
Berthing in Antibes
Port Vauban is one of the largest pleasure-yacht harbours in the Mediterranean. Its operator currently publishes approximately 1,500 berths and capacity for vessels up to 150 metres. That headline large-yacht capability sits alongside extensive conventional pleasure-yacht berthing, making Antibes relevant across a much broader size range than the famous large-yacht quays suggest.
The official booking service accepts requests for short- and long-term stays. Rates vary by yacht length, beam, season and duration, and multihulls are treated separately for pricing purposes. Owners of wide catamarans should therefore provide both overall length and maximum beam when requesting a berth.
Why Port Vauban matters below 24 metres
The marina's scale means that yachts within Luxury Yacht Guide's 12.00–23.99 metre range operate inside a mature yachting ecosystem rather than a marina focused solely on small pleasure craft. Antibes supports brokerage, maintenance, crew and marine-service activity throughout the year.
Arrival and booking
Port Vauban publishes VHF channel 9 and asks visiting yachts to book through its official reservation system. The port office is at Avenue de Verdun, 06600 Antibes. Because overall yacht dimensions can differ from registration-document measurements, the operator specifically asks users to work with actual overall dimensions when calculating or requesting berthing.
Technical and shoreside support
The marina has modernised infrastructure and a long-established careening and repair environment. Its position beside Antibes also gives owners immediate access to the old town and the wider Côte d'Azur yacht-service industry.
Luxury Yacht Guide assessment
Port Vauban is a strong base for owners who want a large, professionally operated marina with access to maintenance and marine businesses. Its broad berth range makes it relevant to 12–24 metre yachts despite the port's international reputation for superyachts.
Owners considering yachts close to the upper end of Luxury Yacht Guide's range can compare requirements in the 23 Metre Yachts Under 24 Metres guide. Operational budgeting can be considered alongside the Luxury Yacht Running Costs guide.
