The VANDUTCH 40 guide
Choose the VANDUTCH 40 yacht charter Saint-Tropez for a day defined by clean lines, swift acceleration, and a deck made for Riviera living. This design icon is the modern way to reach Pampelonne, Cap Taillat, or Cannes in unruffled style.
Yacht overview
Instantly recognisable for its minimalist silhouette, the VANDUTCH 40 was built for Mediterranean day cruising. At 12 metres, she balances sleek performance with a sociable, open layout that suits Saint-Tropez perfectly, from a morning departure out of the Vieux Port to an effortless glide into a beach club tender line. The broad cockpit and forward sunpad invite unhurried lounging between swims, while the protected helm keeps your captain comfortable and focused. For guests who value understatement over ostentation, this is the right aesthetic. Whether you are planning a swift lunch at Club 55, a languid afternoon off Cap Taillat, or a sunset return past the citadel, a VANDUTCH 40 charter delivers the polished, contemporary feel that discerning Riviera regulars expect.
Onboard experience
Life on board is refreshingly simple. Forward, a generous sunpad faces the coastline; at anchor it becomes the preferred spot for reading, napping, or simply taking in Ramatuelle’s turquoise shallows. The helm is ergonomically arranged for quick, precise manoeuvres, useful when approaching crowded tenders off Pampelonne. Below, the light, pared-back interior offers a dayhead, storage for bags, and space to cool off.
Best destinations & anchorages from Saint-Tropez
The bay of Canoubiers is minutes from the port for a first swim. Pampelonne’s mooring field runs opposite the main beach clubs, with clear water and well-spaced tenders. Continue south to Escalet and Cap Taillat for brighter blues and a wilder backdrop; in calm conditions, Cap Lardier rewards with crystalline bays. Westbound days target the Îles d’Hyères, Porquerolles and Port-Cros, reachable as a longer outing when seas are settled. To the east, the Îles de Lérins off Cannes offer protected anchorages and pine-scented shores. Your captain will advise on the day’s wind and swell, picking anchorages that maximise comfort while keeping lunch reservations and return timing on schedule.
Beach clubs & shore highlights
Saint-Tropez remains defined by its shore scene, and this yacht gets you there with accuracy. Close to town, Les Canoubiers offers a quick swim-and-go before a late booking. Away from the sand, stroll the Vieux Port for art galleries and evening apéritifs, or browse the Place des Lices market on market days before departure. For families, the quiet waters by Escalet are inviting; for groups, an afternoon circuit between two clubs breaks up the day. Your itinerary can weave shore time and swimming stops seamlessly, ensuring the beach club experience complements, not replaces, the pleasure of being at anchor.
