· 7 min read
Set your day to Riviera tempo with an AXOPAR 37 yacht charter Saint-Tropez, combining quick passages, easy swim stops and shaded comfort for eight guests.
Purpose-built for Saint-Tropez days on the water
The AXOPAR 37 Hardtop is made for Saint-Tropez: fast to move, light on draft and effortless to handle in lively summer traffic. From the Vieux Port to Pampelonne in minutes, she turns a packed shoreline into a calm private base, with a shaded cockpit, reliable seakeeping and walkaround decks for safe circulation. The forward seating and open aft platform create natural zones for conversation and swimming, while the hardtop moderates the midday sun without losing the sea breeze.
For couples, families or a small group of friends, this versatile day boat prioritises time in the water and time at lunch—not fuss. Expect an unhurried rhythm: depart after breakfast, anchor off your chosen bay, tender ashore for a beach club reservation, and return along the headlands at golden hour. As a luxury yacht rental Saint-Tropez, the AXOPAR 37 keeps the focus where it should be—on the coastline.
Specifications at a glance
Compact yet capable, the AXOPAR 37 balances performance with practical amenities for refined day use. Her dimensions and layout favour quick coastal hops while preserving comfort under way and at anchor. A single professional captain is included, keeping logistics simple and service attentive for up to eight guests.
The forward cabin offers a quiet retreat for a midday rest or a place to stow personal items out of the sun, while deep walkways and high handrails add reassurance when children are aboard. Built in 2020, the hull benefits from Axopar’s narrow-entry design for efficient, predictable running in typical Riviera afternoon chop.

Life on board: shade, space and easy swim access
On board, everything serves the day. The hardtop shades the main cockpit where built-in seating frames a convivial table for coffee runs and long lunches. Wide side decks let guests move safely forward to the bow lounge, which becomes a favourite spot at anchor. Aft, the open platform sits close to the waterline for effortless dips between courses, with ladders and handholds that make re‑boarding simple for all ages.
Storage is generous for day bags and beach gear, and the forward cabin provides welcome shelter for siestas or a cool change of clothes. Towels and snorkeling gear are provided as standard, and your captain has a chilled locker ready for pre-ordered soft drinks and rosé. As an AXOPAR 37 charter, the atmosphere is casual but considered—quiet engines, clean deck lines and just enough technology to make the day smooth.
Where to go from Saint-Tropez: bays and headlands that suit her best
The near coastline is this yacht’s playground. Expect 10–15 minutes from the Vieux Port to Pampelonne’s central moorings, with Cap Camarat and Cap Taillat offering clearer water and pine-scented coves a little farther south. L’Escalet and La Bastide Blanche reward an early start with glassy morning swims. To the west, Cavalaire and Le Lavandou offer broader bays if the easterly breeze freshens.
Heading east, Sainte‑Maxime and Les Issambres offer protected stops for lunch on quieter days, while a fast run to Cannes and the Îles de Lérins is realistic when conditions are settled, rewarding with turquoise shallows and monastery‑fringed islets. Porquerolles is feasible for a full‑day push in calm seas, but most guests favour the Ramatuelle arc for maximum swim time. Your captain will trim the route to the day’s wind, swell and your lunch reservation.
Beach clubs and shore highlights to pair with your day
Saint‑Tropez’s shoreline is built for a boat like this. Reserve lunch at Club 55 for the classic reed‑umbrella scene, or Nikki Beach and Bagatelle for music‑led afternoons. Byblos Beach, Gigi Ramatuelle, Verde and Loulou Ramatuelle offer polished service and calmer pacing, with moorings that keep transfers efficient. In the morning, a coffee stop in the Vieux Port sets the tone; later, a stroll through the lanes around Place des Lices or a detour into the canals of Port Grimaud rounds out the day.
The AXOPAR’s light footprint keeps beach club hopping agile—drop anchor, tender ashore, swim between courses, then cruise the headlands at sunset. Your concierge can secure the right table and coordinate timings with the captain so the tender is waiting when you put down your cutlery.
Sample day routes from the Vieux Port
A typical day charter Saint-Tropez runs 10:00–18:00. Distances are short, so you spend more time in the water and less time in transit. Below are three proven circuits; the final call always rests with weather and your preferences.
Suggested day plans
Three Riviera rhythms:
- Pampelonne & Caps: Depart 10:00, swim at Baie des Canoubiers, anchor off Club 55 for lunch, then idle south past Cap Camarat to Cap Taillat for afternoon snorkeling. Return via l’Escalet; lines at 18:00.
- Îles de Lérins sprint: Early 09:30 departure, fast run east to Saint‑Marguerite for a swim in the turquoise shallows, lunch in Cannes, afternoon cove at Saint‑Honorât, sunset cruise back to Saint‑Tropez.
- Western coves: Head for Cavalaire and La Croix‑Valmer, pick a sheltered bay near Sylvabelle, lunch ashore at a local plage, then stop at Port Grimaud on the way home for a short canals tour.
Capacity, captain and service style
This AXOPAR 37 carries up to 8 guests plus her captain, an ideal size for families or two couples with friends. With one highly experienced professional at the helm, service stays personal and nimble—help with bags and lines, local knowledge on demand, and discreet attention during lunch transfers and swim stops. Deep walkways, stainless handholds and a predictable hull make moving around comfortable for all ages.
Your captain will brief you on the plan, stow day bags efficiently, and keep drinks cold. Bespoke catering, curated wines and spirits, and restaurant reservations can be arranged in advance. If you’re considering a broader French Riviera yacht charter later in the week, we can coordinate multi‑day logistics around this day on the water.
Watersports and toys on request
The emphasis here is simple, salt‑water fun. Snorkeling gear is already aboard for rocky coves and seagrass meadows around the caps. The swim platform sits low for easy entries and exits, encouraging multiple dips through the day. On request, we can arrange additional water toys—such as Seabobs or paddleboards—subject to availability and local regulations; your concierge will advise what suits the sea state and your chosen anchorages.
Because the AXOPAR 37 is a nimble day boat, deck space remains uncluttered, with soft bags stowing neatly and gear lashed down before we get under way. Speak with us ahead of time if you have something specific in mind; we’ll line up the right equipment or suggest an alternate plan that keeps the day flowing.
Fuel, APA and what is included
A French Riviera day charter operates simply: standard hours are 10:00–18:00 with a professional captain, towels and snorkeling gear included. Fuel is excluded and settled based on actual consumption at the end of the day. There is no separate APA on day outings; instead, any extras—fuel, optional moorings, delivery/repositioning if requested, catering and drinks—are charged as used. Welcome champagne is not included by default.
Menus, wines and spirits can be pre‑ordered; we’ll provision and chill everything before you arrive. If you plan to lunch ashore, we coordinate tender timings with your table. Applicable local taxes and service are outlined on your confirmation; for current structures and seasonal policies, refer to the yacht’s listing and your charter agreement.
Reasons this AXOPAR 37 fits the Riviera brief
The AXOPAR 37 shines where Saint‑Tropez demands agility. Her narrow‑entry hull reduces resistance at speed, smoothing the afternoon chop between the caps. Deep walkways and secure handholds build confidence for families with young guests. A forward cabin offers welcome shade for midday breaks and stows bags out of the way. Clear sightlines from the helm make tight harbor maneuvers straightforward when picking up moorings or approaching beach club tenders.
Light on draft and responsive, she is equally at home beach‑club hopping off Ramatuelle or, if your plans take you east, on short, precise trips around Saint‑Jean‑Cap‑Ferrat and Cap d’Ail. For an AXOPAR 37 yacht charter Saint-Tropez, it’s the right tool for the job: efficient, composed and built for unhurried days.
