Highlights

The vibrant main harbor, Port de Saint-Tropez, draws locals, fishermen, the rich and famous, and travelers eager to glimpse jetset life and stunning marine vessels.

A stunning 18th-century Italian baroque church, Église Notre-Dame de l’Assomption stands in the heart of the village and offers beautiful views of the water.

A famous 17th-century former fortress, the Citadelle de Saint-Tropez now houses a modern museum celebrating the region’s rich maritime history.

St. Tropez positively oozes luxury from every angle. Whether you’re gazing at the shimmering waters or admiring the boats moored at the Port de Saint-Tropez, you’ll be captivated by the glamour in the French Riviera. For decades, celebrities have been drawn to the coastal town, which is known as much for its vibrant nightlife, upscale shopping, and world-class restaurants as it is for its beautiful scenery and rich history.

There’s a special energy that courses through St. Tropez, adding an irresistible allure. Many visitors book return visits. Sun-drenched Nikki Beach, with its gorgeous crowds and vibrant atmosphere, is worth the visit alone, as is Pampelonne, where you can relax, sip champagne, or simply lie on the sand and soak up some of that Mediterranean sunshine.

The charming old town of La Ponche offers an impressive glimpse of St. Tropez’s fishing village roots, complete with cobblestone streets and buildings clad in soft pastels. Art lovers and history buffs alike will find inspiration at every turn, both in the iconic museums and attractions and in the old-world, well-preserved surroundings. The unmistakable thrill of arriving at St. Tropez by yacht is an unparalleled experience providing glorious views.

Local Tips

While you won’t have much need if you’re taking the town on foot (and yacht), you’ll rarely find taxis at night that don’t charge a premium. It’s better to use a private car service.

Most shops, including grocery shops and boutiques, close midday. The hours after lunch, especially outside of peak season, are reserved for a siesta.

Dress codes reign if you’re going from yacht to dinner. Skip the laid-back beachwear in favor of more upscale, posh attire.

Reasons to charter a yacht to St Tropez versus staying in a hotel

No hotel can match the experience of traveling via yacht to St. Tropez. Travel in style on top of luxury at sea. Hotels can only promise select services within certain limits. On a yacht, you’re secluded from the crowds, gently lulled by the sea’s comforting sway. Enjoy chef-prepared meals in complete privacy on the deck, or dive straight into the water for a relaxing swim without encountering crowds.

Unlike a hotel, yachts give you access to areas you may not realize exist. St. Tropez is home to more secluded beaches that aren’t widely known. These beaches include the small yet charming Plage des Graniers and the shallow Plage de Bonne Terrasse, a hidden cove not far from the waters of Pampelonne Beach. It’s much easier to see and experience these unique places when you’re on a yacht. When you’re ready to let your hair down, you can simply dock at the renowned Port de Saint-Tropez, get ready for a glamorous evening, and then retreat to your boat when the night ends.

A dedicated crew is waiting for you, ready to cater to all of your needs with personalized, attentive service. Whether you favor specific meal types, have a cocktail you absolutely love, or want insight into enjoyable local activities, you can count on your crew to deliver. The yacht experience puts a fresh spin on your St. Tropez getaway, making it even more memorable!

Summer Season

May – September

Spring

As tourists begin to flock to town, the months from March to May bring an energy revival. Temperatures are reasonably comfortable, perfect for market strolls, hikes around Cap Camarat, and visits to less-crowded tourist attractions. Don’t miss the Bravade de Saint-Tropez military and religious festival in mid-May.

Summer

Things really heat up from June through August, when the city’s reputation for glitz is prominent. Nightclubs pulse with music as partygoers go until dawn, while luxe sailing and music events add some cultural appeal to the season. With temperatures soaring to 90 degrees, it’s a steamy time of year.

Winter Season

October – April

Fall

As summer fades, September through November draws the crowds who prefer a more relaxed yet no less engaging atmosphere. The waters are still warm, and yachts of all stripes sail in to compete in the annual regatta. Closer to the end of the year, many luxe spots shut down for the year.

Winter

The superyachts may be gone, but you can still charter a yacht if you wish to come to St. Tropez during the cooler months. Temperatures can drop as low as 40 degrees, so it’s not quite beach weather—but it’s still pleasant for a brisk morning harbor walk or exploration of the countryside in relative solitude.
