Our workshop is five minutes from the Port Vauban gate. Order up to 10pm and the flowers are on board from six the next morning, before the guests are up.
Yacht Floral Design has worked out of Antibes since 1996. Port Vauban is not a market we expanded into, it is where the business started, on the same quay, with the same family. That matters on a Tuesday night when a boat needs forty stems by six in the morning and the shop that says it delivers to Antibes is actually in Nice and closes at seven.
We know the port the way people who work there know it. Which gate is manned at what hour, which pontoons a van can reach and which need a trolley, who to call at the IYCA office when the barrier is down, and which boats want the delivery handed over rather than left with the dock team.
The superyacht quay at Port Vauban, the Quai des Milliardaires, is fenced and access is controlled. This is the part that catches out florists who do not work here. A delivery that arrives without the boat expecting it sits at the barrier. We clear the delivery with the yacht or the agent before the van leaves, so the flowers go straight to the passerelle.
If your boat is on the IYCA berths, on the Quai des Milliardaires, at Port Gallice, or across at Marina Baie des Anges, it is the same service and the same timing.
Between May and October we are on the quay most mornings. From November the fleet leaves, and this is the part most florists here do not do: we go with it. When your boat crosses to the Caribbean or heads east, the same people keep supplying it, flying fresh flowers out of the Dutch auction to whatever port you are in.
You do not have to find a new florist in Gustavia or Falmouth or Malé. That is the winter service.
Up to 10pm for delivery from six the following morning. Message the WhatsApp number and you will get a person, not a form. Later than 10pm, ask anyway, because it often still works.
Yes. The superyacht quay is fenced and access is controlled, so we clear the delivery with the boat or the agent before the van leaves, and the flowers go straight to the passerelle rather than sitting at the barrier.
Either. Plenty of interior teams take loose stems and foliage and do their own arrangements, conditioned and ready to go in. If you are short-handed we come aboard and do it.
We keep supplying it. Fresh cut flowers are bought at the Dutch auction, packed cold, certified and flown to wherever you have wintered. About three days from your message, once the import permit is in place. Plan it once for the season: 5 to 7 working days in the Caribbean, one to two weeks in the Maldives, the Seychelles and Phuket. Same contact, same standard, same invoice.
Port Vauban including the Quai des Milliardaires and the IYCA berths, Port Gallice, Marina Baie des Anges, and Golfe-Juan at Camille Rayon. Monaco, Cannes, Villefranche and Saint-Tropez are all routine.
