St Tropez Yacht Charter, French Riviera

What's so special about St Tropez and the yacht charter scene? St Tropez is a small fishing village tucked into the coastline between the sky and the sea of the famous Cote d'Azur. In 1956, St Tropez was used as the setting for the sexy film And God Created Woman, starring Brigitte Bardot. The jetsetters soon came flocking to this sleepy corner of France in search of the same sensual lifestyle. Today, although St Tropez is a Mecca for the riotously rich and famous, it deserves a place on any yacht charter itinerary. Whether you sail in upon a 60m luxury superyacht, a 40 foot bareboat or a 10 foot tender, the appeal remains the same.

Despite the growing popularity of St Tropez as a yacht charter destination, the village manages to maintain its gorgeous charm.  There are timeless back streets to explore, filled with boutique shops, delis and patisseries. The aromas of freshly baked croissants and brewed coffee waft down the cobbled streets to greet you. Enjoy a sunset drink in one of the many cafes lining the dock. Watch the sleek superyachts, maneuver into their tight berths, fender to fender. At dusk, it's quite spectacular to watch the evening lights reflect from the pastel pinks, oranges and yellows of the harbor side houses.

By day, enjoy the stunning beaches of the St Tropez peninsular. On the eastern side, lies three miles of curving white sand in the famous Pampelonne Bay. At Tahiti Beach, you'll find the hangout of the rich, the famous and the generally scantily clad: The Voiles Rouge beach club.

The Voiles de St. Tropez Sailing yacht Regatta takes place during the first week of October each year and there are yachts are available for charter so that you can experience the event, or even race in it. This is the final main event of the summer in St. Tropez season and many say the most exciting event of the entire year for yachting.  Last year’s Regatta yielded over 300 sailing yachts to compete, and each year the event only seems to get larger. Sail boats from across the globe will come to St Tropez to take part in this week long event and festival, with the more than 300 luxury sailing yachts participating in the race and 3,500 crew .  There are also thousands of spectators and many celebrations – this is an amazing sailing event to see.
