Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez Yacht Charter

Yes, subject to weather, maritime restrictions and the official racing programme. The yacht's captain selects a permitted position outside active or restricted race areas.

No proximity to competing yachts, access inside the racecourse, or a specific spectator position is guaranteed. Private charter yachts follow current maritime and event instructions at all times, and we do not offer to follow the racing fleet.

Racing takes place in and around the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, with the fleet based in the Port of Saint-Tropez. Courses are set by the race committee each day according to wind and sea state, so we never promise a particular course or viewpoint in advance.

The most common format: embark in the morning, cruise the Gulf at a permitted distance from racing, lunch aboard or at anchor off Pampelonne, and return to harbour in the evening.

Day charters in event week are in high demand. Minimum durations, embarkation point and price are confirmed per yacht.

A multi-day charter turns the yacht into your Saint-Tropez address: race days on the water, evenings in the village, and the option to continue along the Riviera after the event.

Your hotel can float — in harbour, if a berth is confirmed in writing, or at anchor or in a nearby harbour with tender transfers ashore.

Possibly, but harbour space during the event is highly constrained and much of it is used by the racing fleet. Availability depends on yacht dimensions, harbour arrangements, timing and operational requirements.

We only present a berth as confirmed after written confirmation. Until then, plan for anchorage or a nearby harbour.

Many yachts anchor in the bay or off the peninsula, weather permitting, with the tender bringing guests to the quay. Anchorage locations depend on wind, sea state and local regulations, and are chosen by the captain on the day.

Combine a morning on the water with lunch off Pampelonne — aboard, or by tender to a beach restaurant booked in advance. Reservations remain subject to each venue's confirmation, and late-season opening varies.

Les Voiles comes at the end of the main Mediterranean season. Some yachts are finishing charters, heading to shipyards, repositioning for winter or preparing to cross to the Caribbean.

A yacht that cruises the Western Mediterranean in summer is not necessarily available — or positioned — for event week. We confirm current position and event-week availability for every yacht individually; delivery fees may apply if a yacht must reposition.

A yacht's normal weekly rate is not the Les Voiles total. Event-week pricing, minimum durations, VAT where applicable, the Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA), berthing or delivery fees, and catering all affect the final figure.

APA is an advance covering variable costs such as fuel, food, drinks and port fees; the captain accounts for it and any unused balance is returned. We quote every element in writing before anything is signed.

Racing depends on wind and sea conditions; races can be postponed, shortened or cancelled by the race committee. The yacht's own programme also depends on weather and the captain's judgement, and may change on the day.

For clients and private groups: lunches aboard, a day on the water, or an evening return to harbour. Overnight capacity and hospitality capacity are different — most charter yachts sleep up to twelve guests, while daytime guest limits depend on the yacht's licence and are confirmed per yacht.

Monaco Yacht Show and Les Voiles fall close together at the end of September. A single Riviera charter can link both — subject to each yacht's availability and both events' confirmed dates.
