Our Premium Fleet and Onboard Services

Our selection for motor boat rental in Saint-Tropez ranges from agile day cruisers to magnificent luxury yachts. Each vessel is meticulously maintained and equipped with high-end amenities to ensure comfort and safety. Depending on your choice, rentals include a professional local skipper who knows the coastline's hidden secrets, or bareboat options for qualified captains.

We also provide snorkeling gear and water toys upon request, ensuring that your day on the water is as active or relaxed as you desire, tailored specifically to your group's requirements.

Iconic Routes and Hidden Coves

Departing from the Port de Saint-Tropez or Port Grimaud, the possibilities for exploration are endless. Most guests head straight for the legendary Pampelonne Beach, where you can anchor in front of world-famous beach clubs like Club 55. For those seeking tranquility, the turquoise waters of Cap Camarat and the secluded coves of Escalet offer a peaceful escape from the crowds. If you have more time, cruise toward the Îles d'Hyères, specifically Porquerolles, known for its untouched natural beauty and white sandy beaches. Every route promises stunning views of the rugged Var coastline, characterized by red rocks, pine forests, and some of the most expensive real estate in the world.

Pricing and Booking Process

The cost of a motor boat rental varies based on the size of the vessel, the season, and the duration of the charter. Prices typically start from €800 per day for smaller RIBs and can exceed €15,000 per day for high-performance luxury motor yachts. It is important to note that fuel is usually charged separately based on consumption, and a security deposit is standard for bareboat rentals. Booking with Charter & Villas is straightforward: once you select your preferred boat, our team handles the contracts and logistics. We recommend booking at least three months in advance for July and August, as the demand in Saint-Tropez is exceptionally high during the peak summer weeks.

Seasonal Tips and Luxury Combinations

The best time for a motor boat rental in Saint-Tropez is between late May and early October when the Mediterranean climate is at its finest. September is particularly beautiful, as the water remains warm but the summer crowds have thinned. To elevate your holiday, consider combining your boat charter with one of our luxury villa rentals in the hills of Ramatuelle. This allows you to enjoy the vibrant nightlife and shopping of the village by night and the privacy of the sea by day. Always pack plenty of sunscreen, a light windbreaker for the evening breeze, and elegant attire if you plan on docking for lunch at a high-end seaside restaurant.

FAQ

Do I need a license for a motor boat rental in Saint-Tropez?

If you are opting for a bareboat motor boat rental without a skipper, a valid international maritime license is required for any engine over 6hp. However, most of our clients prefer to hire a professional skipper. This allows you to relax completely and enjoy the scenery without worrying about navigation, mooring, or local maritime regulations.

What is included in the rental price?

Typically, the base price includes the boat rental, insurance, and VAT. If you book a crewed charter, the skipper's fee is often included or listed as a mandatory extra. Fuel, port fees outside the home marina, and specialized catering or heavy water toy usage are generally billed separately at the end of your trip based on actual usage.

Can we cruise to Cannes or Monaco in one day?

Yes, it is possible to reach Cannes or even Monaco from Saint-Tropez on a fast motor boat. A trip to Cannes takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours depending on sea conditions. While it makes for a fantastic day trip, keep in mind that higher speeds result in significantly higher fuel consumption, which should be factored into your total budget for the day.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my charter?

Safety is our primary concern. If the port authorities or the captain determine that conditions are unsafe for sailing, we will first attempt to reschedule your motor boat rental to the next available day. If rescheduling is not possible due to your travel dates, a refund or credit note is typically issued, subject to the specific terms and conditions of the individual boat's charter agreement.
