Why the Jarrett Bay 64 is Perfect for Saint-Tropez
Saint-Tropez is a destination defined by its vibrant social scene and its hidden natural coves. The Jarrett Bay 64 is uniquely suited for this environment for several reasons. Firstly, its shallow draft of just over five feet allows it to navigate closer to the shoreline than many European flybridge yachts of a similar length. This is a significant advantage when anchoring in the shallow, turquoise waters of Plage de l'Escalet or the Baie de Briande.
Secondly, the sea state in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez can change rapidly when the Mistral wind picks up. The aggressive bow flare and deep-entry hull of the Jarrett Bay 64 provide a level of seaworthiness that ensures guest comfort during transit, even when the chop increases. For those who enjoy the thrill of speed, the twin MTU engines allow for rapid transfers between the Port of Saint-Tropez and the glamorous beach clubs of Pampelonne, meaning you spend less time in transit and more time enjoying the destination.

Curated Itineraries from the Port of Saint-Tropez
When you choose to rent a Jarrett Bay 64, your captain can tailor the route to your specific desires. Below are two popular options departing from the iconic Vieux Port.
1-Day Itinerary: The Golden Triangle
- Morning: Depart Saint-Tropez and cruise around the Cap Camarat. Drop anchor at Plage des Salins for a morning swim in crystal clear water.
- Lunch: Navigate to the famous Pampelonne Beach. Use the yacht's tender to go ashore for lunch at Le Club 55 or Bagatelle.
- Afternoon: Move south to the Cap Taillat, a protected natural site. The Jarrett Bay's stability makes it an excellent platform for snorkeling and paddleboarding in this pristine bay.
- Evening: A high-speed sunset cruise back to the Port of Saint-Tropez, enjoying cocktails on the spacious cockpit deck.
3 to 7-Day Itinerary: The Porquerolles & Esterel Expedition
For those chartering a Jarrett Bay 64 in Saint-Tropez for a longer duration, the coastline offers incredible diversity. You can head west toward the Îles d'Hyères, visiting Porquerolles and Port-Cros. These islands offer some of the best-protected anchorages in the Mediterranean. Alternatively, head east toward the Massif de l'Esterel, where the red volcanic rocks meet the deep blue sea. A week-long charter allows for overnight stays in Cannes or the secluded bays of the Lerins Islands.
Marinas and Berthing Logistics
The primary hub for your maritime adventure is the Port de Saint-Tropez. Because this is one of the most sought-after marinas in the world, berthing for the 2026 season should be requested well in advance. The Jarrett Bay 64, with its 18-foot beam, fits comfortably into standard Mediterranean berths, but its height (if equipped with a tuna tower) requires the crew to be mindful of certain low-clearance areas.
If the main port is full, alternative berthing can be found at Marina de Cogolin or Port Grimaud, both located within the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. These marinas offer excellent facilities and are often more tranquil than the bustling center of town. For guests staying in villas near Pampelonne, the yacht can meet you at anchor, and a tender service can facilitate the embarkation.
Inclusions and Financial Considerations
When renting a luxury vessel like the Jarrett Bay 64, it is essential to understand what is included in the contract. Standard charter agreements in the South of France typically include the yacht, the professional crew (Skipper and Stewardess/Deckhand), and the yacht's insurance. However, the following costs are usually extra:
- Fuel: Charged based on actual consumption. High-speed cruising will increase this cost significantly.
- VAT: Currently 20% in France, though reduced rates may apply if the itinerary includes international waters.
- APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance): Usually 30% of the charter fee, used to cover food, drinks, and berthing fees.
- End Cleaning: A standard fee for day rentals, often included in weekly rates.

Best Months and Sea Conditions
The optimal window for chartering a Jarrett Bay 64 in Saint-Tropez is between late May and late September. July and August offer the warmest water temperatures (around 24-26°C) and the most vibrant atmosphere. However, September is often considered the "connoisseur’s choice" because the crowds have thinned, the sea remains warm, and the famous Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez regatta takes place, filling the horizon with classic and modern sailing yachts.
Sea conditions are generally calm, but the Jarrett Bay’s specialized hull is a major asset if you encounter the "Libreccio" (southwest wind) or the "Mistral" (northwest wind). While many smaller day boats are forced to stay in port during these winds, the 64-foot Jarrett Bay can often handle the conditions with ease, ensuring your plans are not ruined by a light swell.
