The Côte d'Azur is best told from the sea. Hilltop villages, translucent coves, historic ports and legendary beaches make up a coastline that only fully reveals itself aboard a boat. At the heart of this coast, the Gulf of Saint-Tropez is an ideal starting point: in a single day you can reach the beaches of Pampelonne as much as the lakeside towns and villages of the northern shore. Here's an overview of the destinations within reach with a boat rental with skipper.
The Gulf of Saint-Tropez, an exceptional stretch of water
Enclosed and sheltered, the Gulf of Saint-Tropez packs a rare variety of landscapes into just a few nautical miles. The southern shore lines up the beaches and coves of Ramatuelle; the northern shore unfolds its seaside resorts and marinas; and the far end of the gulf holds unique towns like Port Grimaud. From Saint-Tropez, everything is within an hour's sailing.
Destinations to explore
Every stretch of the gulf and its surroundings has its own character. Here are the stops we recommend, each with its own dedicated guide.
The coast of Ramatuelle and its wild beaches all the way to Cap Camarat offer the finest stretch of the southern shore. At the heart of this coast, Pampelonne beach remains the flagship destination for a day of swimming and beach clubs.
On the opposite shore, Sainte-Maxime and its long beach are just minutes away from Saint-Tropez. At the far end of the gulf, the lakeside town of Port Grimaud, nicknamed the Provençal Venice, is best visited by its canals. Finally, Cogolin and its marinas complete the tour of the gulf.
Sailing with a skipper
All our outings come with a professional skipper who knows the gulf, its anchorages and its best moments. You gain peace of mind, safety and a better experience overall, without worrying about handling the boat or planning the route.
