Each option includes its own photo gallery, overview, key features, traveler profile, and direct Viator link.
Private boat charter focused on flexibility and water sports
Saint Tropez Private Boat Charter in the Bay of St Tropez
Best for: Travelers who want an adaptable outing with water sports and a casual, active feel
This experience uses a 6.5-meter boat that fits up to six guests, so it suits travelers who want a private outing without a large-crowd format. The tour is designed around the bay of St. Tropez and can be adjusted to match your pace, whether you want to spend time cruising, anchoring, or doing water activities. Confirmed inclusions cover a range of equipment for boarding, tubing, snorkeling, and swimming support. The tone is active rather than luxury-focused, and the operator notes that the shorter option is a better fit if you mainly want to tour the bay without many stops.
Small private charter for a tailored bay outing
- Private boat for up to 6 guests
- Water sports equipment is included
- Three- or four-hour timing gives route flexibility
Private boat tour with the most explicit onboard inclusions
Golfe de Saint Tropez Private Boat Tour
Best for: Travelers who want a private boat tour with a choice between a shorter outing and a longer day on the water
This private boat tour is built around flexibility, with a shorter half-day version and a longer full-day version. The half-day focuses on the Saint-Tropez bay area, including views from the water of Port Grimaud, Port de St. Tropez, and Baie Canoubiers. The full-day adds more time and includes Pampelonne Beach plus snorkeling and swimming at Cap Lardier. The inclusions are more clearly defined than on some other options, with drinks, snacks, towels, snorkeling equipment, fuel, and an electric sea scooter listed. It is a good match for travelers who want a private outing but also want clearer onboard extras.
Private boat tour with half-day and full-day formats
- Two duration choices are listed
- Snorkeling gear, towels, snacks, and drinks are included
- Departure can be arranged from several listed starting points
Private yacht charter focused on comfort and a full-day route
Full Day Private Yacht Charter on our Pershing 40 in Saint Tropez
Best for: Travelers who want a more spacious full-day private yacht with comfort features onboard
This full-day charter uses a Pershing 40 motor yacht, so it stands apart from the smaller boat options by offering a more spacious onboard setup. The listing highlights a galley, bathroom, master cabin, sun pads, dining and entertainment areas, and a bluetooth sound system, which makes it the most comfort-focused choice in this group. The route can include a mix of swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, and scenic cruising to places such as Billionaires Bay, Pampelonne Plage, Cap Taillat, L’Escalet, and Cap Camarat. It is best suited to travelers who want a longer private day with a more polished yacht feel rather than a purely sporty outing.
Full-day private yacht charter with a comfort-first setup
- Full-day charter on a 43-foot motor yacht
- Restroom, galley, cabin, and entertainment areas are listed
- Stand-up paddleboard, snorkel gear, snacks, and drinks are included
Choosing the right St-Tropez day on the water
For a shorter, more flexible outing, the private boat charter is the easiest fit if you mainly want time in the bay. If you want a longer day with more explicit inclusions, choose the private boat tour with half-day and full-day options; if comfort and onboard space matter most, the full-day yacht charter is the strongest match.
Bay cruise with optional stops
The route can include Port Grimaud, Baie de Canebiers, the Port of St Tropez, and anchorage for swimming or snorkeling.
Half-day bay route or longer coastal day
The route can cover Port Grimaud, Port de St. Tropez, Baie Canoubiers, Pampelonne Beach, and Cap Lardier depending on the selected length.
Full-day yacht cruise with scenic anchorages
The itinerary can include Billionaires Bay, Pampelonne Plage, Cap Taillat, L’Escalet, Cap Camarat, and a view of the Citadelle from the water.

St-Tropez booking checklist
- Check the listed departure or return point before booking, especially if you want a different starting arrangement.
- Fuel and gratuities are not handled the same way across the three options, so review the inclusion and exclusion list for the exact product you choose.
- If you want a specific mix of cruising, swimming, or water sports, look at the duration options carefully because the shorter and longer versions are not the same experience.
Before booking a St-Tropez tour
Which option is best if I want the shortest private trip?
The private boat charter with three- or four-hour options is the shortest-style choice in this comparison. It is designed for a tailored bay outing rather than a full-day program.
Which tour includes the clearest set of onboard extras?
The private boat tour with half-day and full-day options lists the most explicit extras, including drinks, snacks, towels, snorkeling equipment, fuel, and an electric sea scooter.
Which experience feels most like a yacht day rather than a simple boat ride?
The full-day Pershing 40 charter is the most yacht-like option because it combines a larger motor yacht with comfort features such as a restroom, galley, master cabin, and dedicated lounging areas.
