· 7 min read
A PARDO 60 yacht charter Saint-Tropez delivers a clean, modern aesthetic with the practicality required for effortless days between Pampelonne and Cap Taillat. Purpose-built for open-air living, she is a refined choice for hosting, swimming and unhurried coastal runs on the French Riviera.
Yacht overview
Built in 2023, the PARDO 60 brings contemporary Italian design to Saint-Tropez with wide, open decks and a quietly confident profile that suits the bay as much as the quay. Her layout flows from a broad aft cockpit to an inviting foredeck lounge, creating distinct social zones without losing the sense of one continuous platform close to the water. The hull is engineered for composed mid‑speed passages—ideal for the short, scenic hops that define a luxury yacht rental Saint-Tropez. Whether you are hosting a polished lunch for clients or a relaxed family swim day, the yacht’s proportions, shaded T‑top and easy water access make time aboard feel unforced and well considered. For guests looking at a PARDO 60 yacht charter Saint-Tropez as a base for a day of beach clubs and clear-water anchorages, this model hits the brief precisely.
Yacht specifications
Essential particulars for planning your day:
Length: 18 m Guests (day): up to 12 Cabins: 3 Crew: 2 (captain and stewardess) Year built: 2023 Category: Open day yacht
The PARDO 60’s footprint balances deck area with interior volume, offering generous headroom below and wide side decks above for safe movement underway. The symmetric layout makes service efficient, while the broad swim platform simplifies boarding from the tender or the quay. For Saint-Tropez’s compact berths and busy summer quayside, her dimensions are practical—large enough to host comfortably, nimble enough to slip in and out of Port de Saint‑Tropez without fuss. Enquire for detailed technical data and any specific accessibility or family requirements; our team will match the setup to your party and plans.
Onboard experience
Life onboard is unhurried and open to the sea. Aft, the cockpit lounges convert from dining to full‑beam sunpads, shaded by the carbon T‑top when the midday sun is high. Wide walk‑arounds lead to a raised foredeck seating area—quiet, breezy, and perfect for cruising past the red roofs of the old port. The swim platform sits close to the waterline for easy dips and smooth reboarding after snorkeling.
Below deck, the 2023 interior is clean and bright, with three cabins and generous headroom should you wish to rest or change in privacy. A compact galley supports effortless service from morning coffees to aperitivo. With towels prepared, snorkeling gear ready, and a stewardess managing details, the atmosphere is discreetly attentive. A PARDO 60 charter keeps the focus on good company, clear water and a well‑paced day along the coast.
Best destinations & anchorages from Saint-Tropez
From the Vieux Port or Baie des Canoubiers, the PARDO 60 reaches Saint‑Tropez’s signature anchorages in minutes. Expect around 20–30 minutes to Pampelonne Bay, where clear sand and organized moorings line the coast from Tahiti Beach to Cap Camarat. To the southwest, Cap Taillat and nearby L’Escalet offer turquoise coves and more natural scenery—typically 35–45 minutes depending on conditions. Port Grimaud and Sainte‑Maxime sit just across the gulf for sheltered waters and easy tender drop‑offs.
Longer runs remain within comfortable day range: allow about 1.5–2 hours to the Îles de Lérins off Cannes, 2 hours to Cap d’Antibes, and 1.5–2 hours west to Porquerolles when the forecast is kind. Cruising times are indicative and always weather‑dependent, but the yacht’s steady mid‑speed temperament makes these passages relaxed and social.
Beach clubs & shore highlights
Saint‑Tropez pairs seamless anchoring with refined shore options. Your captain coordinates tender drop‑offs with the beach club’s jetty teams and times returns to avoid the afternoon rush. Along Pampelonne, popular choices include Club 55 for understated classics, Bagatelle and Nikki Beach for a livelier tempo, and Gigi or Loulou Ramatuelle for long, elegant lunches. Tahiti Beach remains a timeless early‑day stop when the water is glassy.
In town, Sénéquier’s red director’s chairs, the Place des Lices market (on set days), and the Annonciade Museum reward a brief wander before an evening cruise. For sunset, Baie des Canoubiers gives a mellow anchorage close to port. Whether you prefer a low‑key table in the pines or a scene with music and moorings in view, we build the day around your style and tide it to the shoreline with minimal waiting.
Day charter routes & sample itineraries
To make the most of a day charter Saint‑Tropez, choose a route that blends short passages with time at anchor. Below are example flows our captains execute regularly, always adjusted to weather and your pace.
Sample day flows
- Morning swim at Baie de Pampelonne, lunch ashore at Club 55 or Gigi; afternoon at Cap Taillat for snorkeling and paddle time; golden‑hour cruise via Canoubiers back to port. - Eastbound run to Esterel’s red cliffs for sightseeing, then cross to Îles de Lérins for a picnic onboard; return via Cap d’Antibes with a sunset pass along Cannes’ Croisette. - Westbound leisure to Porquerolles (conditions permitting), bikes ashore for a short loop, then anchor at Notre‑Dame beach before a smooth return set to arrive by 18:00.
Guest capacity, crew & service
The PARDO 60 accommodates up to 12 guests for a French Riviera yacht charter day, supported by a professional captain and stewardess. This two‑person crew structure is ideal for Saint‑Tropez: the captain manages navigation, timing and shore coordination while the stewardess oversees service, setup, and guest comfort. Families appreciate the wide, secure decks; groups value the natural separation between aft entertaining and the quieter foredeck.
Below, three cabins are available for changing and rest during the day, and can suit an occasional overnight by arrangement. Service is discreet rather than formal, with chilled towels, well‑timed drinks and a pace that keeps the boat serene even when the bay is busy. Advise preferences in advance—music style, wine list, children’s needs—and we’ll prepare a day that runs effortlessly from lines off to final approach.
Watersports & toys
For easy, low‑impact fun, snorkeling gear is included and ready. The broad swim platform and deep ladder make entries and exits graceful for all ages. If you wish to add more action, we can arrange toys such as Seabobs, stand‑up paddleboards or an e‑foil by prior request, subject to availability and local regulations. Tow sports and personal watercraft may require specific permits or an instructor; our team will advise the most suitable options for your party and anchorage plan.
The captain selects swim spots for clarity and shelter, often timing arrivals to skirt midday congestion. Freshwater showers and plush towels are on hand so guests can move from sea to table without fuss. Tell us whether the day leans toward relaxed snorkeling or a more energetic setup, and we’ll tailor the inventory accordingly.
Fuel, APA and what’s included
French Riviera day charters customarily exclude fuel; consumption is tallied after the trip based on actual engine hours and routing. There is typically no APA for single‑day outings, while multi‑day charters may use an APA arrangement for fuel and incidentals. A welcome champagne is not included unless requested.
Included: professional captain and stewardess, standard towels, and snorkeling gear. On request: gourmet catering, premium wines and spirits, additional water toys, private transfers and restaurant bookings. Mooring fees away from the home berth, club tenders, and shore meals are guest expenses. We’ll quote current VAT or local taxes as applicable and detail all options transparently before you confirm.
