Onboard experience
Life on board centres around a broad aft cockpit with dining, shaded lounge and a sunpad positioned at water level for easy swim rotations. Forward, the bow seating becomes a favorite vantage point on approach to Pampelonne or Cap Taillat. The electric sliding roof transforms the main deck salon from sheltered to open-air within seconds, creating a single social space that flows from helm to aft deck. Below, three cabins provide quiet retreats to change, rest children at nap time, or freshen up before a late-afternoon tender ashore. Charters run from 10:00 to 18:00; towels and snorkeling gear are provided. Catering, refined wine and spirits, and additional water toys can be arranged in advance to align the day with your plans—be it a family swim day or a polished celebration over a long seaside lunch.
Best destinations & anchorages from Saint-Tropez
From the Vieux Port, classic Saint-Tropez waters open quickly. Pampelonne Bay (15–25 minutes) offers clear sand shelves and easy access to marquee beach clubs. Slide further to Cap Camarat and L'Escalet for snorkelling in rock pools and indigo water, or continue to Cap Taillat (35–45 minutes) for a protected anchorage with a wild feel on quieter days. Westward, Cavalaire and Gigaro offer broad bays well-suited to a relaxed swim-and-sun program. With settled conditions and an early start, Porquerolles in the Îles d’Hyères is a memorable day (plan for a longer cruise), rewarding with pine-scented shores and turquoise shallows at Notre-Dame. To the east, time-permitting, the Lerins off Cannes can fit a later finish. Your captain will shape the route around the forecast and your lunch reservation to ensure the right balance of cruising and unhurried time at anchor.
Beach clubs & shore highlights
Pampelonne remains the daytime stage. Reserve at Club 55 for Riviera heritage, Bagatelle or Nikki Beach for energy, or Loulou and Gigi Ramatuelle for design-forward lounging. Les Salins is a quieter alternative with an easy tender landing. Back in town, a late stroll through La Ponche and an espresso at Sénéquier frame the day with Saint-Tropez signatures. Families appreciate the shallow, sheltered Baie des Canoubiers for afternoon swims close to the port. Your PRINCESS V70 charter can include tender drop-offs where feasible, with shore transfers coordinated by our team. For those who prefer the yacht as base, the bay’s light and consistent breeze make the bow seating a perfect place to watch the regattas of Les Voiles or the slow theatre of arrivals into the Old Port.
Day charter routes & sample itineraries
With 10:00–18:00 as the standard window, we recommend one unhurried route rather than trying to do it all. A favourite: Saint-Tropez – Pampelonne swim stop – lunch ashore – Cap Taillat for a quiet afternoon – golden-hour cruise back past Canoubiers. Alternatively, set a westbound course to Cavalaire and Gigaro for a sand-and-swim focus away from the crowds. On calm days with an early lines-off, Porquerolles is within reach; enjoy Notre-Dame or Plage d’Argent before returning with the sun dropping astern. For event weeks, the V70’s pace allows a Cannes or Lerins program by prior agreement. Your captain will brief on forecast, timings and tender access to ensure smooth transitions between swimming, lunch and late-afternoon cruising.
Guest capacity, crew & service
Registered for up to 12 guests, the PRINCESS V70 is well-proportioned for groups who value space and ease of movement. Two experienced crew manage navigation, moorings and guest service, keeping the day seamless from first lines off to the last swim. Expect proactive attention—cold towels after a swim, efficient tender shuttles when permitted, and discreet coordination of beach-club timings. Families benefit from the shaded cockpit and flexible interior, while celebrations find a natural setting on the aft sunpad and open-roof salon. If you prefer a fully hosted experience, we arrange curated catering, bar service and décor; if you enjoy a more spontaneous day, the crew will set a relaxed pace with swim stops and light bites. This is yacht charter Saint-Tropez done with precision and calm.
Watersports & toys
Snorkeling gear is carried on board, ideal for the rocky coves around L’Escalet and Cap Taillat. For guests who want more action, we can pre-arrange additional toys—such as Seabob units, stand-up paddleboards or e-foil sessions—subject to availability and local regulations. The wide transom makes gearing up straightforward, and the low swim platform simplifies re-boarding after longer swims. Your captain will advise on the best spots and conditions on the day to enjoy clear water and minimal swell. If the plan leans towards a leisurely program, the bow seating and aft sunpad provide two distinct lounging zones so the group can split naturally between sun, shade and water time during your PRINCESS V70 charter.
Fuel, APA and what’s included
For French Riviera day charters, fuel is excluded and charged by actual consumption; your captain will confirm the planned route and expected running before departure, with settlement made against dockside pump receipts or logged engine hours. Welcome champagne is not included. Standard inclusions are the yacht from 10:00 to 18:00, two crew, towels and snorkeling gear. Catering, fine wines and spirits, beach-club reservations, and extra water toys are available on request and billed separately. APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is typically not applied to single-day charters; for multi-day programs, an APA may be used to manage fuel and onboard provisioning. Applicable French VAT and any port formalities are outlined at booking so there are no surprises—our team keeps the process clear and efficient.
