From Saint-Tropez
The start is the Saint-Tropez moment: the fleet leaving the Gulf for the open sea. A crewed yacht positioned in the Gulf, clear of the course, is the way to see it — and July is the height of the season here, so berths and anchorages are arranged well ahead.
The essentials, in numbers
What a yacht adds
Berthed in the port or at anchor off Pampelonne — both crewed, both on quote.
The start from the water
A crewed yacht in the Gulf for the departure, clear of the course, lunch at anchor afterwards.
Port or Pampelonne
A berth in the port the night before among the crews, or an anchorage off Pampelonne, minutes away. Both on quote.
A longer passage
A multi-day charter along part of the route is quoted individually — yacht, crew and season decide it.
Getting there
Transfers from Nice Côte d’Azur airport or the La Môle airfield arranged on request.
