Onboard experience
The SUNSEEKER 68 is arranged for easy flow between sea, deck and salon. The aft cockpit hosts shaded lunches that run unhurried through the afternoon; wide side decks lead to a private bow lounge for quiet conversation while at anchor. Up top, the sport flybridge offers open visibility underway and a relaxed perch for sunset returns to the port. Indoors, a bright, contemporary salon welcomes casual gatherings with panoramic glazing and climate control. Four cabins accommodate family‑friendly overnights on multi‑day plans along the coast. For day use, towels are provided and snorkelling sets are ready when the water calls. Enhancements—gourmet catering, curated wines and premium spirits, or additional water toys—can be arranged to suit the occasion, ensuring your SUNSEEKER 68 charter feels distinctly personal.
Best destinations and anchorages from Saint‑Tropez
From the Vieux Port, short runs open a catalogue of clear‑water anchorages. Canebiers Bay is a sheltered first swim within minutes of casting off. South to Pampelonne, broad sandy bottoms give excellent holding just off Club 55, Bagatelle and Nikki Beach. Continue around Cap Camarat to the wild coves of Cap Taillat and Escalet for snorkelling over Posidonia meadows. To the west, Port Grimaud’s canals make a gentle sightseeing interlude before another swim at Les Salins. With an early start, Porquerolles in the Îles d’Hyères is achievable for powder‑white bays (allow roughly 1.5–2 hours each way in fair conditions). Eastbound, the red rocks of the Estérel and the Lérins Islands off Cannes are similarly within comfortable reach on a well‑timed day aboard this capable 68‑footer.
Beach clubs and shore highlights
A Saint‑Tropez day often pivots around a languid lunch. Your captain can tender you ashore to the classics—Club 55’s understated terrace, the music‑forward scene at Nikki Beach, or Bagatelle’s garden setting—before a relaxed digestif swim back aboard. For a quieter strand, Loulou Ramatuelle and La Réserve à la Plage deliver polished service with a softer soundtrack. Back in the village, Sénéquier on the quai remains the place for an espresso and people‑watching, while the Place des Lices market (on market days) rewards early risers. Our team coordinates moorings and precise timing with shore venues so your table, tender drop‑off and return to the yacht feel seamless—exactly what a luxury yacht rental Saint‑Tropez should be.
Day charter routes and sample itineraries
Standard hours run 10:00–18:00, allowing an unhurried rhythm. A favourite circuit: morning cruise to Canebiers for a first swim, then on to Pampelonne for lunch ashore; reposition to Cap Taillat for afternoon snorkelling and a slow, scenic return past Cap Camarat. Alternatively, set course east for the Estérel cliffs and drop anchor under the ochre rocks before a late lunch among the Lérins Islands. With calm seas and an early embarkation, Porquerolles offers crystalline lagoons and white‑sand anchorages. Each SUNSEEKER 68 yacht charter Saint‑Tropez is tailored on the day to wind, swell and restaurant bookings, with the captain advising on the most comfortable sequence and timing.
Guest capacity, crew and service
Licensed for up to 12 guests on a day charter Saint‑Tropez, the yacht is run by a professional crew of two who keep the programme smooth—from early‑morning provisioning to discreet, attentive service underway. Families appreciate the safe side decks and shaded dining; groups of friends enjoy multiple social zones that keep everyone together without crowding. For multi‑day plans, four cabins provide practical overnight flexibility for a family set‑up. Tell us your preferences—cold‑pressed juices at embarkation, a specific rosé, a children’s menu—and our team will arrange it in advance so the day unfolds exactly as intended.
Watersports and toys
Snorkelling equipment is carried as standard, ideal for Cap Taillat’s clear shallows and the rock gardens off the Estérel. On request, we can source additional toys to complement your SUNSEEKER 68 charter: Seabob units for silent reef‑runs, eFoils, stand‑up paddleboards or towables for the afternoon energy burst. Your captain will advise on suitable anchorages and safety, and we’ll coordinate any third‑party deliveries so the equipment is waiting at the quay at embarkation. If you prefer a more tranquil programme, the yacht’s generous sunpads and shaded decks make the water itself the main event.
Fuel, APA and what’s included
French Riviera day charters are typically plus fuel; your actual fuel cost will depend on the route and sea state, and is settled after the charter against engine hours. Standard inclusions on this yacht are the services of two crew, towels and onboard snorkelling equipment during 10:00–18:00 hours. Welcome champagne is not included. Catering, alcoholic beverages, additional water toys and berthing away from the home port are optional extras. For multi‑day itineraries, an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) is customary to cover fuel, food and incidentals, with a full account provided. French VAT and any applicable local taxes follow the charter contract in effect at the time of booking.
