Life on board the Prestige 34 S is about balance: sun when you want it, shade when you need it.

Inside, the air‑conditioned cabin provides a cool reset—ideal for children’s naps, a change of clothes or a moment of calm. A functional galley area supports light snacks, and a sound system sets the tone for an unhurried cruise. The overall feel is discreet and well‑considered: everything you need for a polished day charter Saint‑Tropez, nothing you don’t.
Best destinations & anchorages from Saint‑Tropez
From Port de Saint‑Tropez or nearby Marines de Cogolin, the Prestige 34 S places signature Riviera waters within easy reach. Glide to the moorings off Pampelonne for lunch and an afternoon swim; slip across to the Baie des Canebiers for a sheltered, family‑friendly anchorage; or round Cap Camarat towards the translucent coves by L’Escalet and Cap Taillat. Port Grimaud’s canals make for a charming stop, while Les Issambres and Sainte‑Maxime offer quieter, pine‑framed bays. With settled conditions and an early start, Porquerolles and the Îles d’Hyères become an ambitious but rewarding day out. Your captain will time the route to the weather and the Mistral, maximising comfort and water time.

Beach clubs & shore highlights
Saint‑Tropez’s shoreline pairs beautifully with the Prestige 34 S. In Pampelonne, most clubs coordinate mooring buoys and tender pick‑ups, allowing you to step ashore without fuss. Book ahead for peak season and let your captain liaise with the beach team for timing. Away from the sand, a slow pass by the citadel and the Vieux Port sets the scene, while the Place des Lices market (on non‑cruising mornings) is a local staple. If you prefer a lazy afternoon afloat, Baie des Canebiers often offers calmer water for a final swim before returning to port.
Popular lunch spots (advance reservations recommended)
We can coordinate timing with the shore team:
- Club 55, Pampelonne
- Nikki Beach, Pampelonne
- Bagatelle, Pampelonne
- Gigi Ramatuelle
- Loulou, Ramatuelle
- Verde Beach, Pampelonne

Guest capacity, crew & service
The Prestige 34 S welcomes up to 8 guests for day use, guided by one professional skipper who knows the local waters, moorings and beach‑club procedures. Expect unhurried service with an emphasis on safety, clear briefings, and smooth timing around lunch reservations and swim stops. The layout works well for families—shade in the cockpit, easy steps to the platform, and a quiet interior for breaks—or for couples and friends who want a refined day without the formality of a larger yacht. Short overnights may be considered on request; the interior provides practical comfort for rest, though the yacht is optimised for day cruising. Your captain will tailor the pace, from relaxed coastal pottering to a more purposeful run when conditions invite.
Watersports & toys
This is a day cruiser designed for relaxed swimming and easy access to the sea. The wide aft platform and ladder make in‑and‑out simple at anchor, and the foredeck is well cushioned for a post‑swim stretch in the sun. Light snorkelling can be enjoyed over the clear sand patches around L’Escalet and Cap Taillat; basic sets can be arranged on request, subject to availability. If you wish to add powered toys such as a Seabob, we can source them locally for the day, with advance notice. Jet‑skiing is not operated from the Prestige 34 S; shore‑based rental and appropriate licensing are required in France. Speak to our team about options that align with local regulations and your group’s pace.

On the French Riviera, day‑charter rates are typically plus fuel, calculated on actual consumption and route. There is no APA for day charters; you settle fuel and any approved extras on return to port. Welcome champagne is not included.
