Set your day in motion with a CRANCHI A46 yacht charter Saint-Tropez. Built in 2024, this sleek open cruiser is made for swift Riviera hops and unhurried bays.
Yacht overview
Purpose-built for sunlit days on the Riviera, the CRANCHI A46 pairs crisp Italian lines with the practicalities that Saint-Tropez demands. Wide, open decks flow from bow to stern so your party can shift easily between the forward sunpad, shaded lounge and the clean-lined dining area. A retractable hardtop transforms the cockpit from sun to shade in seconds, ideal when moving from the calm of Baie des Canebiers to the sparkle of Pampelonne. Strong acceleration and steady handling make short work of coastal hops, while the aft platform forms a natural waterside terrace for effortless swim stops. For a luxury yacht rental Saint-Tropez, the A46 brings just the right balance of pace and poise for beach clubs, lazy anchorages and late-afternoon returns past the Vieux Port.

Onboard experience
Life on deck is the story here. The cockpit’s modular seating invites easy conversation, with a dining table set under the retractable hardtop for shaded lunches. Forward, a generous sunpad catches the breeze en route to Cap Camarat, while the aft platform provides a stable, low step to the water for frequent swims. Inside, two compact cabins and a neat shower room support a relaxed overnight for a couple after dinner in town. For the day, expect a simple, polished setup: towels and snorkeling gear are readied, chilled stowage keeps refreshments at hand, and clear sightlines around the helm allow the captain to position the yacht precisely at buoys and beach moorings. Enhancements—from gourmet catering to premium wines and spirits—can be arranged to suit your plans.
Best destinations & anchorages from Saint-Tropez
From Saint-Tropez, the A46’s brisk hull opens a string of sheltered coves and broad sandy bays. Close by, Baie des Canebiers is a calm morning swim before the crowds. Round Cap Camarat to Plage de l’Escalet and the headlands of Cap Taillat for transparent water and snorkelling over pale sand. For a longer run, Cavalaire’s broad bay holds a choice of lunch spots, while Porquerolles rewards with pine-scented anchorages in roughly 60–90 minutes when seas are settled. Westwards or eastwards, your captain will advise according to wind and swell, choosing lee shores for comfort.
Favourite stops from Saint-Tropez
Balance lively beach scenes with quiet anchorages.
- Baie des Canebiers – serene water, easy first swim
- Pampelonne Bay – classic lunch run with club moorings
- Cap Taillat & Lardier – turquoise shallows and dune-backed sands
- Cavalaire-sur-Mer – broad anchorage with shelter in Mistral
- Porquerolles (Îles d’Hyères) – island feel for an extended day
Beach clubs & shore highlights
Ramatuelle’s shoreline is a who’s who of Riviera addresses, and the A46 puts them within an unhurried glide. Club 55, Bagatelle, Loulou Ramatuelle, Gigi, Les Palmiers and Verde each offer their own mood—from barefoot classics to afternoon DJ sets. Your captain coordinates moorings and shore transfers with club tenders where available, keeping your arrival seamless. Prefer a quieter rhythm? Pause for a swim at Cap Taillat, then head into Saint-Tropez for late-afternoon shopping around Place des Lices before golden-hour cruising past the citadel. This is yacht charter Saint-Tropez at its most effortless: lunch ashore, swims on tap, and a smooth return to port.
Day charter routes & sample itineraries
Charters typically run 10:00–18:00, which comfortably fits a Pampelonne-and-capes loop or a longer leg to Porquerolles in calm conditions. A relaxed Saint-Tropez day might start with a 20-minute hop to Baie des Canebiers for a first swim, then a run along Cap Camarat to anchor off Escalet. Lunch ashore—Club 55, Loulou or Gigi—before an afternoon laze at Cap Taillat and a scenic return via Les Salins. Looking east, an earlier start can stretch to the Îles de Lérins off Cannes, using the A46’s pace to keep passage times tight; discuss feasibility on the day. Our team can pre-book beach clubs, arrange onboard catering, or plan a Monaco-focused route as part of a wider French Riviera yacht charter.
Guest capacity, crew & service
The CRANCHI A46 welcomes up to 10 guests for the day, guided by an experienced captain who handles navigation, docking and swim stops with an easy, practiced touch. Service is intentionally streamlined—efficient, unobtrusive and tailored to your preferences. Expect towels and snorkeling gear prepared, safety briefings handled succinctly, and itineraries flexed around wind, swell and lunch timings. If you’re considering a short overnight, the two-cabin interior suits a couple seeking a simple stay after dinner ashore. For larger events or multi-yacht days, our shore team can coordinate additional boats to keep groups together.
Watersports & toys
Snorkeling gear is included for clear-water stops around Cap Taillat and Porquerolles. If you wish to add more action, we can arrange extra water toys on request—subject to availability and conditions—to match the A46’s dayboat spirit. Popular add-ons include compact electric water toys or paddleboards for quiet coves, with all equipment delivered and briefed by our partners. Your captain will advise on suitable anchorages for safe use and can structure the day around swim sessions and beach-club timings. Let us know your preferences in advance so we can prepare the right mix of relaxation and play.
Fuel, APA and what’s included
French Riviera day charters exclude fuel; your consumption is calculated by the engine hours and route taken, and settled after the charter. A formal APA is not typically used for single-day outings. Included aboard the CRANCHI A46 are the services of a professional captain, towels and snorkeling gear, and standard charter hours of 10:00–18:00. Welcome champagne is not included. Extras—beach-club reservations, gourmet catering, premium wines and spirits, and additional water toys—are quoted on request. Embarkation is usually from the Port of Saint-Tropez or Marines de Cogolin, subject to confirmation. Local taxes and any mooring fees away from the home berth apply as per your booking; our team will outline these clearly on your charter agreement.
