Boat rental in Saint-Tropez covers an extraordinarily wide price range: from around €750/day for a RIB to €6,500/day for a superyacht. Between those two figures lie dozens of options, each responding to a specific type of day, group size and budget. Here is a clear breakdown of what the market looks like in 2026.
Average rates by boat type
RIBs (semi-rigid inflatable boats)
RIBs are the most accessible segment of the market. The Zodiac Medline 7.50m starts at €750/day in low season and €900/day in high season. The Zodiac Medline 9m, which accommodates up to 10 passengers with a toilet cabin, starts at €1,100/day in low season and €1,350/day in high season. These rates exclude fuel, which is charged at cost at the end of the day.
Day boats
Day boats in the gulf range from €1,800/day (Axopar 37) to around €3,500/day for premium models like the Pardo 43 or Invictus TT 420. Mid-range options such as the Fjord 40 and Med 42 sit between €2,500 and €3,100/day. Professional skipper is generally included from €2,500 upwards.
Luxury yachts and superyachts
The luxury segment starts at around €3,800/day (Med 52, Sunseeker Superhawk 55) and rises to €6,500/day for the Pershing 70 Aqua with captain and hostess included. In this segment, skipper and often crew are always included. Water toys such as SeaBobs, tenders and paddleboards may also be included depending on the boat.
What is typically included and what is not?
Included in most Octopussy rates: the boat, insurance, safety equipment, professional skipper (on yachts from €2,500/day), basic cleaning. Not included as standard: fuel, charged at cost at the end of the day; food and drinks unless specifically mentioned. Some all-in packages such as the Med 42 and Med 52 include skipper, drinks, towels, paddleboard and snorkelling kit.
High season vs low season
High season in Saint-Tropez typically covers July, August, the Sail GP weekend and the Voiles de Saint-Tropez regatta in late September or early October. Rates are 10 to 25% higher during these periods. Low season runs from May to June and September to October, offering the best combination of value and conditions for a day at sea.
