Renting a yacht in Saint-Tropez conjures images of superyachts and stratospheric rates. The reality is more accessible than most people think. With a fleet of 19 motor boats ranging from €750 to €6,500/day, Octopussy covers every type of group, every budget and every vision of what a perfect day at sea in the gulf looks like.
What is a yacht in Saint-Tropez?
In the context of Saint-Tropez, the word yacht is used broadly to describe any motor boat above around 10 metres. It covers day boats like the Axopar 37 and the Fjord 40, mid-size premium boats like the Numarine 52 and the Pardo 43, and true superyachts like the Riva Ribelle 66, the Sunseeker Manhattan 68 and the Pershing 70 Aqua.
How to choose the right yacht for your group
Four questions narrow it down quickly. How many people? The Octopussy fleet covers groups from 2 to 12 passengers. What kind of day? A social day with music and drinks on the water calls for a different boat than a quiet day exploring remote coves. What is the budget? The fleet ranges from €750 to €6,500/day. Is a skipper needed? All premium yachts include one.
The most popular yachts in the Octopussy fleet
The Numarine 52 is the fleet's most toy-loaded option: underwater scooter, paddleboards, drone and motorised tender, 12 passengers, from €2,200/day.
