Where is Pampelonne relative to Saint-Tropez?

Pampelonne is just around the headland in the Gulf, off Ramatuelle — minutes by sea, so it's the classic half-day or beach-club day charter.

Can we visit a beach club at Pampelonne?

Yes — we anchor off the beach and arrange a tender ashore to the clubs; lunch on board or on the sand, as you prefer.

No — every charter is crewed or available with a skipper, so you never need a licence.

Good to know

The day, plainly

Yes, in good conditions — it is a long, full day under way with brief stops. Many prefer to spread it over a short cruise with a night at anchor; we advise on what suits your party.

There is no harbour at Pampelonne — the whole point is to anchor off the beach. The crew takes you in by tender to whichever club you have booked, and comes back for you when you are ready.

Of course. Antibes, Cannes, Villefranche or a longer swim at the Lérins — the route is a suggestion. Tell us what you'd like to see and we shape it around the sea.

On quote. Distance, yacht, season and any berthing all factor in, so we price each itinerary individually — clearly and in full before you confirm.
