Saint-Tropez by Sea: Your dream holiday with a yacht

Saint Tropez: An experience of pure bliss

The internationally famed city of Saint-Tropez is the destination for a truly exceptional and memorable getaway. Whether you’re with family or friends, looking for thriving nightlife or peaceful relaxation, Saint-Tropez has everything you could ever want.

Saint-Tropez brings together the stunning landscapes, architecture and cultural heritage of Provence, as well as the atmosphere, festivals and beaches of the Côte d’Azur. For decades, this Mediterranean vista has attracted holidaymakers from around the world.

Take your Saint-Tropez vacation to the next level with a yacht

Renting a yacht is one of the best ways to make the most of your getaway in Saint-Tropez and discover the secrets of the coastline, both at sea or in the harbour.

Discover hidden landscapes

The breathtaking Gulf of Saint-Tropez is one of the Mediterranean’s most uniquely beautiful vistas. Accessing the numerous hidden gems can be challenging, as many deserted beaches and secluded coves are inaccessible by land. A yacht makes it easy to discover the secret locations tucked away from the public eye, bringing you and your guests comfort, luxury and privacy.

Live the VIP life in Saint-Tropez

Hiring a yacht also enables you to dock in the heart of Saint-Tropez, a stone’s throw from the city’s vibrant nightlife, to bring a little exclusivity and after-dark entertainment to your holiday.

Freedom to explore the entire Riviera

Why stop at Saint-Tropez? Renting a yacht gives you complete freedom to explore the sights of the French Riviera on your vacation. In summer, travelling by road can be slow as tourists descend on coastal towns. With your yacht, it’s plain sailing. There’s no limits to where you can go, so travel in comfort to Cannes, Monaco or on to Northern Italy.

Planning your weekend in Saint-Tropez by yacht

From the initial idea to arrival, it’s time to plan your itinerary for your getaway to stunning Saint-Tropez. This small fishing port has long been the preferred destination of the Jet-Set, a favourite of Bridgitte Bardot and home to some of the world’s most famous beaches.

Arriving at Cannes , your first stop is collecting your luxury yacht . Sail along the Corniche d’Or and take in breathtaking views of the red rocks and steep cliffs of the Massif de l’Esterel mountain range. Enjoy a short swim on the shores of the beautiful l’île d’Or, before continuing your voyage to Pampelonne beach and dining on local produce at one of the many restaurants, or visit Club 55 or Bamboo Cabin. Soak up the sunshine all afternoon on the beach, before sailing to the old port of Saint-Tropez at sunset to see where the night takes you.

The next morning, as the rising sun paints the buildings of Saint-Tropez pink and gold, travel like a real Saint-Tropezian to the markets of the Place des Lices and explore the winding streets steeped in local history. Later on, leave the port and journey to Cap Camarat and Cap Taillat, between land and sea, with the wind and sun on your face, you’ll fall in love with miles of pristine coastline and the sound of the waves.
