Sport yachts

14 options across our Saint-Tropez fleet.

A sport-yacht sits closer to the water than a flybridge motor yacht, and that lower profile changes how the day reads on the Gulf: less vertical presence at anchor, more emphasis on speed getting to Pampelonne or the run out past the peninsula toward Cap Taillat. The 14 vessels in this category at Yacht Hire Saint-Tropez, day rates from €4,200, include Sunseeker builds such as the Sunseeker 95 and Sunseeker 115, both configured for 12 guests, plus the larger Sunseeker Thumper at 40 metres — proof that "sport-yacht" here covers a real range rather than a single hull shape. What unites them is pace over volume. These are boats built for a fast crossing and a tight itinerary: out from the Nouveau Port or the Gulf anchor field, a swim stop in open water, a beach club landing, back before the light drops. Draft and manoeuvrability suit the shorter hop to Pampelonne's approach or a half-day loop toward Baie de Briande better than a slow multi-day passage west to the Îles d'Hyères, though the latter is not off the table for the larger models. Booking one of these means being clear about the day you actually want — an early Gulf departure ahead of the July crowd, or a late-afternoon run timed for the light — since a sport-yacht's advantage is speed used well, not speed for its own sake.
