Explore Saint-Tropez
Saint-Tropez is one of the classic superyacht destinations of the French Riviera, combining glamour, beach clubs, old-town charm, luxury shopping and a long association with Mediterranean summer society. It remains a defining stop on Western Mediterranean charter itineraries between Monaco, Cannes, Antibes and the Côte d’Azur anchorages.
The old port is central to the Saint-Tropez experience, with yachts, cafés and boutiques arranged around a compact waterfront. Large yachts often anchor in the bay or use nearby berthing options depending on size and season. Pampelonne Beach, with its beach clubs and restaurants, is a major part of the destination’s appeal.
Saint-Tropez is best known for lifestyle rather than large marina infrastructure. Guests visit for beach clubs, nightlife, Provençal markets, restaurants, villas and the social atmosphere of the summer season. Berthing, tender permissions and restaurant arrangements need early planning during July and August.
