How far is Port Grimaud from Saint-Tropez?

Port Grimaud is across the Gulf, only a short hop by sea — ideal as a relaxed half-day with its colourful canals and waterside houses.

Can we enter the Port Grimaud canals?

We approach and view the lagoon village from the water; tender access ashore is arranged depending on draft and berthing.

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.

Yes — Port Grimaud has visitor berths right inside the canals, and a short stop is easy to arrange. Many guests simply anchor off the beach at Sainte-Maxime and come in by tender for lunch.

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.
