Swift Marine

Swift Marine is based at 43 avenue Pasteur in Antibes and has supported yachts along the French Riviera since 1988, under the line "By your side since 1988". The company presents itself as an established yacht agency providing complete shore support: berths, customs, logistics, crew assistance, sourcing and provisioning.

The yacht agent activity covers harbour berth reservation and liaison with port authorities, communication with the master, arrival and departure formalities, port clearances and cruising authorisations, and cash declarations. The team also arranges guest transport by van, car or helicopter, event planning and owners' special requests, accommodation and dining reservations, medical arrangements and tour guides.

The logistics and customs department handles international shipments, express courier services via DHL, FedEx or UPS, road transport, airfreight and seafreight. It includes warehouse storage and container rental, import and export customs clearance for both private and commercial yachts, TPA and IRP arrangements with VAT exemption, and the transport of small and large vessels.

Crew assistance brings together immigration and visa formalities, arrival and departure stamping, immigration letters, medical referrals and appointments with transfers to care facilities, ENG1 certificate renewal, airport-to-vessel transfers, car and van rental, and crew accommodation. Sourcing and purchasing assistance covers engineering parts, deck equipment, interior and galley products, food provisioning, fuel and lubricants.

Swift Marine operates across four main French Riviera locations: Port Vauban in Antibes, Port Hercule in Monaco, Port Canto in Cannes and the port of Saint-Tropez. The agency works year-round, manages last-minute itinerary changes and busy periods such as the Monaco Grand Prix, the Cannes Film Festival and the height of summer. It highlights established relationships with harbour authorities that help secure berth confirmations, and recommends booking ahead during those periods.
