About this tour
Explore the Golfe de Saint Tropez aboard a private boat from Saint Maxime, cruising past the pastel villas of Port Grimaud and anchoring off the Côte d'Azur's most exclusive shoreline. Half-day trips focus on spotting megayachts and celebrity properties across Baie Canoubiers; full-day adventures push east to Pampelonne Beach and Cap Lardier for snorkelling in turquoise shallows. The captain welcomes custom routes. Runs 3.5 to 8 hours depending on your choice.

- Megayacht spotting off Saint Tropez's harbour entrance
- Baie Canoubiers celebrity estates viewed from water

- Electric sea scooter rides across shallow blue waters

What to expect
Board at Saint Maxime and motor westward along a coastline studded with designer homes and moored superyachts. The half-day settles you near Saint Tropez's old town for photo time before returning. Choose full-day to continue south past Ramatuelle, where you'll anchor at Cap Lardier's sheltered bay for mask-and-fins work among small fish and rocky outcrops, followed by a beach break at Pampelonne. Expect a smooth cruise in calm conditions; rougher seas may affect timing. The captain steers and offers local insight but won't rush you overboard.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen and lunch if doing the full day. Water and soft drinks provided; snorkelling kit and towels on board. Not suitable if you have spinal issues or significant heart concerns. Public transport reaches Saint Maxime easily. Fuel and electric scooter use included.
