Yacht overview
Built in 2014 and based in Saint‑Tropez, the PRINCESS V39 is a polished 12‑metre V‑class sports cruiser designed for crisp coastal hops and relaxed days at anchor. Her open cockpit flows naturally from helm to swim platform, so guests never feel separated from the sea. Bow seating invites intimate conversation underway, while the stern platform makes swimming simple between lunch reservations and late‑afternoon dips. With seating for small groups and a calm, contemporary interior to retreat from the midday sun, she fits the rhythm of Saint‑Tropez: mornings along the Baie des Canebiers, lunch off Pampelonne, and golden‑hour returns into the Vieux Port. For those seeking a compact, well‑kept yacht that favours time together over excess, this is a smart choice for a luxury yacht rental Saint‑Tropez.

Onboard experience
Life onboard centres around the open cockpit: shaded seating for unhurried lunches, a convivial dinette by the helm, and direct steps down to the swim platform for easy sea access. Forward, the bow seating is arranged for intimate coastal cruising and sunset apéritifs. Below deck, two cabins offer privacy for changing or a restorative siesta when the sun is high, keeping the day smooth for families and couples alike.
Your day typically runs 10:00–18:00. Towels and snorkeling gear are provided; an experienced captain handles navigation and shore arrangements. Enhancements—private catering, curated wines and spirits, additional water toys, and tailored itineraries—can be arranged on request. The result is a simple brief: step aboard, cruise the bays, and settle into the Saint‑Tropez rhythm without logistics getting in the way.
Best destinations & anchorages from Saint‑Tropez
From Saint‑Tropez, short passages reveal the coastline’s best. Glide to Baie des Canebiers for a tranquil first swim, then round Cap Camarat toward Pampelonne’s broad arc of pale sand. Continue to the sculpted headlands of Cap Taillat and L’Escalet, where clear water and low‑lying pines frame unrushed afternoons on the hook. Closer to home, the mouth of the Giscle opens to Port Grimaud’s canals—a photogenic detour before a late‑day cruise past the Citadel. With an earlier start and settled conditions, longer runs can reach the Îles d’Hyères, including Porquerolles for a turquoise‑water interlude. Each stop is well suited to the V39’s scale: quick to anchor, nimble to reposition, and comfortable enough to make the most of a French Riviera yacht charter in a single day.
Beach clubs & shore highlights
Saint‑Tropez’s shore scene is as considered as its bays. Pampelonne offers a string of classics—Club 55, Nikki Beach, Bagatelle, Loulou Ramatuelle, La Réserve à la Plage—each with dedicated moorings or shore assistance where permitted. Your captain coordinates approach, anchoring and shore transfers to keep timings aligned with lunch reservations. Prefer low‑key? Quiet swims off Tahiti, Salins or Canebiers give a softer counterpoint to the buzz of Ramatuelle. Back in town, a sunset glide past the Vieux Port and the Citadel underlines the appeal of a day charter Saint‑Tropez: effortless variety within short cruising windows, with the boat ready to pivot from beach club energy to peaceful coves as you wish.
Day charter routes & sample itineraries
The V39’s sweet spot is a focused route with two or three well‑chosen stops. Distances are short yet scenic, and the boat’s open deck keeps everyone together between swims and shore visits.
Sample day plans
Indicative timings depend on sea state and port traffic.
- Classic Pampelonne Loop (10:00–18:00): Canebiers swim stop, lunch off Club 55 or La Réserve, afternoon at Cap Taillat, sunset return.
- Headlands & Coves (10:00–18:00): Cap Camarat, L’Escalet and Taillat for clear‑water snorkeling; late coffee in the Vieux Port.
- Adventure Run (early start): Saint‑Tropez to Porquerolles via Cap Lardier—longer cruising, turquoise anchorages, return by golden hour if conditions suit.
Guest capacity, crew & service
Comfortable for up to 8 guests, the PRINCESS V39 is captained by an experienced local skipper who balances smooth passages with discreet service. The cockpit’s social layout keeps everyone connected, while two interior cabins offer privacy for changing, nursing infants, or a brief rest. Families appreciate the straightforward swim access; couples value the quiet moments forward at anchor. Shore coordination—restaurant timings, mooring choices, and suggested swim stops—is handled with Riviera know‑how so your day unfolds without friction. If you prefer a fully hosted experience, we can arrange private catering and a curated bar in advance, aligning menus and provisioning to your plans for a seamless yacht charter Saint‑Tropez.
Watersports & toys
Snorkeling gear is carried onboard for exploring the coves around Cap Taillat and L’Escalet. For guests who want more activity, we can arrange additional toys—such as Seabob units, stand‑up paddleboards or towable inflatables—subject to availability and advance notice. The V39’s broad swim platform and easy waterline access make gear changes practical, even for younger guests. If a specific activity is a priority, let us know during planning so we can confirm compatibility and stowage. The emphasis remains on straightforward, low‑fuss fun that suits the scale of a 12‑metre day boat during a PRINCESS V39 charter.

On French Riviera day charters, fuel is excluded and charged on consumption based on the day’s itinerary and sea conditions. There is no APA for day use; incidentals such as off‑port mooring fees or private shore tenders, if required, are settled directly or added to your final invoice. Included onboard: captain, towels and snorkeling gear, and standard service from 10:00 to 18:00. Welcome champagne is not included by default. Catering, wines and spirits, additional water toys, and extended hours can be arranged on request. French VAT applies at the prevailing rate.
