Virtus 63

Onboard the Virtus 63

The Virtus 63 carries Riva's usual attention to finish into a 19-metre motor yacht built for a working day on the water rather than static display. At 10 guests and 3 cabins, she sits in that useful middle ground: large enough for a proper lunch table or a shaded lounge deck, compact enough to move through the Gulf of Saint-Tropez without the berth politics that follow a bigger hull. The cockpit and aft deck give a natural spot for dining, and the cabin layout allows a genuine overnight rather than a squeezed one.

Out of Saint-Tropez, this size of boat suits a corporate lunch charter as much as a private day on the water — anchored in the Gulf with the village and the hills behind it in view, tender ashore if guests want to walk the quay, back aboard for the afternoon. The same boat works for a slower plan: an anchor off Baie de Briande or Cap Taillat for guests who want clear water and no crowd, or a run west toward the Îles d'Hyères for those willing to add the extra distance to the day. With 3 cabins, a one-night stop in the Port Grimaud canal is a realistic option rather than a stretch.

Couples, small families or a corporate group of client-and-host size will find the Virtus 63 sized correctly for what it's asked to do — this is not a boat oversold against its sleeping capacity, and the cabin count is worth checking against your exact group before confirming dates. Nouveau Port berths in Saint-Tropez get allocated well ahead of July and August, so anchoring in the Gulf remains the more available option for a yacht this size; either way, a broker can confirm current berth or anchorage practicalities before you commit to a route.
