The RIB, or rigid inflatable boat, is the most versatile option for a day on the water in Saint-Tropez. Compact enough to access the shallowest coves, powerful enough to cruise at speed along the coast, easy to handle: it is the boat of choice for groups who want freedom and simplicity. Octopussy offers two RIB models from the Quai Claude Meiffret.
Why choose a RIB in Saint-Tropez?
RIBs have three key advantages over larger day boats. First, access: their shallow draught and manoeuvrability allow you to get within metres of rocks and isolated beaches inaccessible to bigger hulls. Second, simplicity: those holding a coastal licence can navigate autonomously. Third, value: rates starting at 750 euros/day.
