The day

Yours from dawn to golden hour

A full day aboard a private yacht from the Vieux Port of Saint-Tropez — swim stops in the Gulf, lunch at anchor off Pampelonne, and the coastline at your own pace, with skipper and crew.

Ideal for couples and groups wanting the riviera in a single unforgettable day.

The route

Where a day at sea takes you

Most day charters from Saint-Tropez follow the gentle arc of the Gulf: a mid-morning departure from the Vieux Port, an hour's cruise to the turquoise water off Pampelonne, and an afternoon of swimming, paddleboarding and a long lunch at anchor before the light turns gold. Beach-club tenders let you step ashore at Club 55 or Nikki Beach and back without losing the yacht.

If you would rather explore, the same day reaches the calm bays below Cap Camarat, the fishing village of Port Grimaud, or the open water toward Sainte-Maxime. June and September bring the warmest sea with the lightest crowds, while July and August are made for sunset returns past the bell tower. Your skipper reads the wind each morning and shapes the day around it — there is no fixed timetable, only the coast and your pace.
