Saint-Tropez<\/a> from the sea \u2014 it is a radically different experience from Saint-Tropez on land. Pampelonne\u2019s beaches accessible directly from the yacht with no taxi and no crowded shuttle, the secluded coves of the Gulf that only boats can reach, the village of Saint-Tropez seen from offshore with its colourful houses reflected in the water \u2014 and sunset over the Gulf from the deck of a boat privately chartered for the day. <\/p>\n\n

A day boat charter in Saint-Tropez<\/strong> \u2014 or day charter \u2014 is the most elegant and memorable way to discover the Riviera. For a family day out, a birthday with friends, a corporate team-building event, or simply a luxury interlude between two meetings \u2014 a day charter turns an ordinary day into an extraordinary memory. <\/p>\n\n

International Yachts Charter and Brokerage XXIII<\/strong> offers the FIART 39 Seawalker<\/a> as an exclusive day charter in Saint-Tropez<\/a> and the Gulf \u2014 up to 11 passengers, professional captain included, from \u20ac2,950 incl. VAT per day<\/strong>, excluding fuel.<\/p>\n\n

What is a Day Charter?<\/h2>\n\n

A day charter is the hire of a boat with a captain for a full day \u2014 generally from 9am to 7pm, i.e. 8 to 10 hours at sea. Unlike a weekly charter, which requires planning several days and a substantial budget, a day charter is an accessible option that still offers all the benefits of a privately chartered boat. <\/p>\n\n

Why Saint-Tropez is the Best Destination for a Day Charter<\/h2>\n\n
The Gulf of Saint-Tropez \u2014 An Unrivalled Natural Haven<\/h3>\n\n
The Gulf of Saint-Tropez is one of the most beautiful and best-protected bays on the entire C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur<\/a>. Its expanse \u2014 10 kilometres in diameter \u2014 offers an exceptional diversity of scenery and anchorages for a day at sea. <\/p>\n\n
The mistral \u2014 the Riviera\u2019s prevailing wind \u2014 shelters the Gulf thanks to the Saint-Tropez peninsula, which blocks north-westerly winds. The Gulf therefore enjoys milder cruising conditions than the open waters between Cannes and Nice. <\/p>\n\n
Beaches \u2014 Accessible Without the Crowds<\/h3>\n\n
Saint-Tropez\u2019s best-known beaches \u2014 Pampelonne, Tahiti, Salins, Graniers \u2014 are overrun every summer by tens of thousands of tourists. Access by car is a nightmare from July to August, car parks are full, and shuttles are packed. <\/p>\n\n
From a boat \u2014 everything changes.<\/strong> The FIART 39<\/a> anchors directly off your chosen beach, and the tender or swim platform gets you onto the sand in just a few minutes. No queues, no parking, no crowds \u2014 just the beach and the sea. <\/p>\n\n
Secret Coves \u2014 Only Accessible by Sea<\/h3>\n\n
A tour of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez reveals around ten coves accessible only from the sea \u2014 no road leads to them. These secluded coves, with their crystal-clear waters over white-sand bottoms and wooded cliffs, are the Gulf\u2019s finest anchorages. <\/p>\n\n
La Moutte Cove<\/strong> \u2014 at the foot of the Domaine de la Moutte, former property of the writer Colette. Crystal-clear water, fine sand, completely preserved from mass tourism. <\/p>\n\n
Canebiers Cove<\/strong> \u2014 opposite Cap des Salins. Deep-blue water, sheltered from the wind, accessible only by boat. <\/p>\n\n
The coves of the Peninsula<\/strong> \u2014 the peninsula\u2019s west coast features a succession of small rocky coves with clear waters, perfect for snorkelling.<\/p>\n\n
Club 55 and Beach Clubs \u2014 Arrive by Boat<\/h3>\n\n
Club 55 in Ramatuelle \u2014 the Pampelonne beach institution since 1955 \u2014 is a 10-minute cruise from Saint-Tropez. Our captain drops you directly onto the club\u2019s beach from the boat \u2014 you arrive like the regulars, without the land logistics everyone else endures. <\/p>\n\n
Our chief steward will book your table at Club 55 or at Nikki Beach ahead of your day charter \u2014 to be communicated during your pre-departure briefing.<\/p>\n\n
The FIART 39 Seawalker \u2014 Our Day Yacht in Saint-Tropez<\/h2>\n\n
Why the FIART 39 for a Day Charter<\/h3>\n\n
The FIART 39 Seawalker<\/a> was selected for our day charter fleet in Saint-Tropez<\/a> for three specific reasons.<\/p>\n\n
Speed<\/strong> \u2014 up to 42 knots, 25 knots cruising. The FIART 39 is one of the fastest 12-metre yachts available for charter in the Gulf. This speed allows you to cover a lot in one day \u2014 Saint-Tropez, Pampelonne, the secret coves, a stop in Cannes<\/a> or at the L\u00e9rins Islands if the day allows.  <\/p>\n\n
Capacity<\/strong> \u2014 12 passengers. The FIART 39 is one of the few units of this size that can comfortably accommodate 12 people. Perfect for groups of friends, extended families, or small corporate groups.  <\/p>\n\n
Comfort<\/strong> \u2014 walkaround design, large aft swim platform at water level, generous cockpit, forward cabin. The FIART 39 offers superior comfort and safety compared with standard rental boats \u2014 for a premium day at sea. <\/p>\n\n

Day Charter in Saint-Tropez \u2014 Season and Weather<\/h2>\n\n
When to Charter in Saint-Tropez<\/h3>\n\n
The day charter season in Saint-Tropez<\/a> runs from May to October.<\/p>\n\n
May\u2013June<\/strong> \u2014 the best weather conditions of the season. Water at 18\u201322\u00b0C, few people at sea, exceptional light. Ideal for groups who want to avoid the summer crowds.  <\/p>\n\n
July\u2013August<\/strong> \u2014 peak season. Water at 24\u201326\u00b0C, maximum buzz in the Gulf, Club 55 and beach clubs at their best \u2014 but also at their busiest. Booking is mandatory several weeks in advance.  <\/p>\n\n
September\u2013October<\/strong> \u2014 the best period according to our captains. Water still warm (22\u201324\u00b0C in September), the Gulf far less crowded, incomparable golden autumn light, rates unchanged. The ideal season for those who cannot stand the summer crowds.  <\/p>\n\n
Weather \u2014 The Mistral<\/h3>\n\n
The mistral \u2014 the prevailing wind from the Gulf of Gascony \u2014 can blow hard on the C\u00f4te d\u2019Azur<\/a> and make cruising uncomfortable for smaller units.<\/p>\n\n
Our weather policy:<\/strong> if the mistral blows above 25 knots on the day of your charter \u2014 our captain will inform you 24 hours in advance and we will reschedule at no extra cost or refund you in full, according to your preference.<\/p>\n\n
Weather in the Mediterranean is generally excellent from May to October \u2014 days of strong mistral are rare (less than 15% of the season) and often predictable several days in advance.<\/p>\n\n
Frequently Asked Questions about Day Charter in Saint-Tropez<\/h2>\n\n
What is the minimum age to come on board?<\/strong> No minimum age \u2014 children are welcome on board. Our captain ensures children\u2019s safety on board, and our team can provide suitable life jackets. We recommend bringing beach toys and snorkelling equipment suited to their size.  <\/p>\n\n
Can we bring alcohol on board?<\/strong> Yes \u2014 you may bring your own drinks. Our team can also arrange delivery of champagne, Provence ros\u00e9 or spirits directly on board before embarkation. <\/p>\n\n
What happens in case of bad weather?<\/strong> In case of strong wind (mistral above 25 knots) or adverse weather conditions \u2014 our captain may propose adjusting the itinerary to remain in the Gulf\u2019s sheltered waters, or postponing the charter at no cost. The final decision always rests with the captain, who is the sole judge of navigation conditions. <\/p>\n\n
Can we smoke on board?<\/strong> Only outdoors, on the aft deck or the swim platform. Never inside the boat. <\/p>\n\n
Is there a toilet on board?<\/strong> Yes \u2014 the FIART 39 has full facilities with a WC and integrated shower in the forward cabin.<\/p>\n\n
