International Yacht Club Antibes (IYCA) opens after six year transformation

Officially opened during an exclusive inauguration ceremony this week, the International Yacht Club Antibes (IYCA) opened its doors following a €135 million transformation. 

Beginning the process in 2017, the project was designed in collaboration between Vauban 21 and  Philippe Prost, drawing inspiration from the aesthetics and functionality of an explorer yacht.

Undertaking extensive renovations on Quay Camille Rayon, the facilities have been modernized to meet the needs and requirements of the modern-day owner, now catering for superyachts with an LOA up to 150 metres.

Offering visitors premium security and safety with vetted access to the area, those using the quay will have expanded facilities including vacuum pumping for black and grey water plus increased electrical power.

In addition to enhanced facilities along the quay, guests can experience the best of Antibes from the start with a personalized welcome at the exclusive helipad lounge which is adjacent to the Helipad. 

The indulgence continues inside, where an indulgent lounge bar awaits, as well as sweeping terraces with panoramic views, and a selection of conference rooms.
