Last minute, French Riviera

Flowers on board tomorrow from 6am.

Your florist let you down, the owner moved arrival forward, the saloon arrangements have died in the heat. Message us by 10pm and fresh flowers are on the passerelle from 6am, anywhere from Saint-Tropez to Monaco. Family run on Port Vauban, Antibes, since 1996.

What to send us, so we can say yes in minutes

Four things. None of them needs a form, a quote request or a phone call you do not have time for.

  • The port and the berth. Port Vauban, Port Hercule, Cannes, the bay at Saint-Tropez. If you are at anchor, say so and we meet your tender at the quay.
  • When you need them. Before the guests wake up, before lunch, before the owner steps aboard at four.
  • A photo. Of what is on board now, of what the owner liked last time, of the colour scheme for tonight. A photo saves ten messages.
  • Who meets us. The superyacht quays are fenced, so the name of whoever will be at the gate or the passerelle.

The times that matter

Order by 10pm, on board from 6am. That is the promise along the whole Riviera, and it is why the arrangements are in the vases before the guests are up.

Same day is often possible. The workshop is five minutes from the Port Vauban gate, fifteen minutes from Cannes and forty-five from Monaco. It depends on what you need, so ask, and you will have an answer quickly rather than a maybe.

After 10pm, message anyway. It still works more often than not. If it does not, you will know in minutes, not at breakfast.

If you are short-handed

In August most interior teams are. You can have loose stems and foliage, conditioned and ready to go straight into the vases, or we come aboard and do the arranging ourselves, and take the old flowers away when we leave.

Show week

During the Monaco Yacht Show, the Cannes Yachting Festival and the film festival in May, every florist between Nice and Saint-Raphaël is full and the roads are closed half the day. We cap the number of boats we take in those weeks so the work is done properly. If your usual supplier is full, message us early in the day. More on show weeks.

Outside the Med: what is and is not possible

Straight answer, because you will need it at some point. We cannot get fresh flowers to the Caribbean overnight. They come from the Dutch auction and they fly. Where the import permit is already on file, it is about three days from your message to your passerelle. If not, we plan the permit first, 5 to 7 working days, and it then covers the rest of your season.

So if the winter is coming, tell us the itinerary in October, and your emergencies in January become a three-day order instead of a two-week one. How the winter works.

When it has gone wrong

Questions people ask at 9pm.

How late can I order flowers for a yacht on the French Riviera for tomorrow morning?

Up to 10pm for delivery on board from six the next morning, anywhere from Saint-Tropez to Monaco. For the Italian Riviera, the day before. After 10pm, message anyway. It often still works, and if it does not we tell you in minutes rather than let you find out at breakfast.

Can you deliver flowers to a yacht the same day?

Often, yes, on the Riviera. It depends on what you need and where the boat is. Antibes and Cannes are fifteen minutes or less from the workshop, Monaco forty-five. Send a message with the port and what you need and you will have a straight answer quickly.

Our florist has cancelled and guests arrive tomorrow. Can you help?

That is exactly the message we get most in August. Send the port, the time the guests step aboard, and a photo of what is on board now or what the owner likes. We will tell you what we can have on the passerelle by morning.

Do you deliver onto the fenced superyacht quays?

Yes. The Quai des Milliardaires in Antibes, Port Hercule in Monaco and the big berths in Cannes are controlled, so we clear the delivery with the boat or the agent before the van leaves. Tell us who should expect us at the gate.

Can you arrange the flowers on board if we are short-handed?

Yes. Some interior teams take conditioned stems and do their own. If you are flat out, we come aboard and do it, including clearing the old arrangements away.

Can you get flowers to a yacht in the Caribbean at short notice?

Honestly, not overnight. Fresh flowers come from the Dutch auction and have to fly. If the import permit for that island is already on file, it is about three days from your message to the passerelle. If it is not, we plan the permit first, 5 to 7 working days, and it then covers the rest of your season. If you need something tomorrow in the Caribbean we will say so straight away rather than take an order we cannot keep.

Do you work during the Monaco Yacht Show and the Cannes festivals?

Yes, but we cap the number of boats for those weeks so the ones we take are done properly. If your usual florist is full in show week, message us early in the day. Late requests are handled on the day if the capacity is there.

Do you deliver on Sundays and public holidays?

On the Riviera, yes. The season does not stop for Sundays and neither do we. International shipments are the exception, because flights and the export paperwork need a working day, so nothing leaves Holland at the weekend.
