Yacht charter in Saint-Tropez, matched to how you actually want to spend the day

Saint-Tropez works as a base for almost any charter shape: a three-hour sunset run past the Vieux Port, a single day anchored off the Gulf, or a week that pushes west toward the Îles d'Hyères. The fleet here spans 118 yachts from 3 to 62.5 metres, across day boats, sport yachts, catamarans, motor yachts and superyachts, so the starting question is less "which yacht is best" and more "what does this particular day or week need to do."

Guest counts and formats vary as much as the boats do. A couple booking a half-day run to Cap Taillat has different requirements from a family sailing out of Sainte-Maxime with older children, or a corporate group taking a 40 to 60-foot motor yacht for a client lunch with the village in view. Most yachts in this range carry up to 12 guests; larger vessels such as Oceanco's 56-metre The Wellesley or Feadship's 50-metre Emerald sit at the top of that bracket and open up multi-day and event formats. Day charters, half-days and week-long itineraries are all bookable, and pricing structure — day rate plus an advance provisioning allowance for fuel, dockage and consumables — is explained before contracts are signed, not after.

Timing shapes the experience more than most guests expect. July and August fill the Gulf anchor field early, so a boat leaving Port de Saint-Tropez before mid-morning gets a materially better spot than one leaving at noon; June, September and October offer calmer water and easier access to bays like Baie de Briande without the same jostling. We help clients choose a format — a short sunset cruise, a beach-club day, an overnight in Port Grimaud's canal, or a longer passage toward Porquerolles — that fits both the guest list and the month, and we handle the coordination between the two rather than treating them as separate decisions.
