Find the right boat for the day
From quiet day-boats to staffed superyachts.
France
A charter base built for the Gulf and beyond
Saint-Tropez works as a starting point for very different days on the water. A couple might ask for a quiet morning anchored off Baie de Briande with nobody else in sight; a family based out of Sainte-Maxime might want calm water toward Cap Taillat for a picnic stop with older children; a group of eight executives might need a private deck for a client lunch with the village in view. The fleet spans day boats, sport yachts, catamarans and superyachts up to 62.5 metres, so the vessel gets matched to the guest count and the purpose of the day rather than the other way round.
Timing shifts the plan as much as the boat does. July and August mean arriving in the Gulf anchor field before mid-morning to get a proper spot, and booking Pampelonne beach club tables ahead so the tender run to Club 55 or Nikki Beach actually lands somewhere. June, September and the quieter stretch into October open up Baie de Briande and a full-day run west to Porquerolles without the jostling. Quotes are built around guest and cabin capacity, a clear day-rate figure, and an APA or fuel estimate scaled to the route — a Gulf afternoon burns little fuel, an Hyères passage adds real distance, and clients hear the difference before they sign anything.

How a charter here actually gets planned
Vessel sized to the guest count
Cabin layout and deck space are checked against guest numbers first, so a 12-guest Feadship Emerald or a 10-guest Princess 64 Fly only goes on the quote if it fits the brief.
Clear day-rate and APA breakdown
Fuel use in the Gulf anchor field is minor compared with a passage toward the Îles d'Hyères, and quotes separate the day rate from the APA line so nothing arrives as a surprise.
Corporate events handled with the same discipline
A 40-60 ft motor yacht positioned off the village gives a private deck for a presentation, catering ordered through the same Quai Jean Jaurès provisioners used for onboard menus.
Route options beyond the obvious quay
A Port Grimaud canal mooring is offered when a group wants distance from Nouveau Port foot traffic, alongside Cap Taillat, Pampelonne offshore and Hyères island runs.
Formats from half-day to weeklong
Charters run from a half-day Pampelonne tender trip up to multi-day passages toward Porquerolles, booked around the season and the group's actual schedule.
Q & A
Questions before you book
A quick read of what most charter clients ask before booking.
-
Do I need a licence to charter a yacht in Saint-Tropez?
Not for a crewed charter. A qualified skipper handles the boat, so no personal licence is required; bareboat options carry different requirements and are discussed separately at quote stage.
-
How does the day rate and APA actually work?
The day rate covers the vessel and crew for the agreed hours or days; the APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) covers fuel, food and dockage, billed separately and reconciled against receipts, with the fuel share scaled to the route — a Gulf afternoon uses far less than a passage to the Hyères islands.
-
How many guests can a yacht in the fleet carry?
Day boats and sport yachts suit smaller groups, while vessels such as the Sunseeker Thumper or Oceanco The Wellesley sleep up to 12 guests in cabins, with day-guest capacity typically higher than overnight capacity on the same boat.
-
Is Saint-Tropez suitable for a family charter with children?
Yes — routes toward Cap Taillat and the calmer water near Sainte-Maxime give shallower anchorages and shorter tender runs, which suit family groups better than a busy Nouveau Port afternoon.
-
Can you arrange a corporate lunch or event on board?
Yes. Vessel and cabin layout are matched to guest numbers before the day rate is quoted, and catering is arranged through the same provisioners on Quai Jean Jaurès who supply standard yacht orders.
-
What is the best time of year to charter here?
July and August are busiest, with the Gulf anchor field filling by mid-morning; June, September and into October offer calmer water, easier access to Baie de Briande and comfortable conditions for longer routes toward the Îles d'Hyères.
-
Can we book a multi-day route with stops outside French waters?
Multi-day passages are planned around the group's schedule and the season; any leg that crosses into another country's waters involves customs steps that get built into the route plan in advance, not left until departure.
