The experience

Eight hours gives you time to move slowly between the spots most visitors can't reach by car. The boat carries snorkeling gear and a stand-up paddleboard, so you're not just looking at the water. You're in it. Cap Taillat's Blue Lagoon sits at the end of a long peninsula. The yacht gets you there without the walk. L'Escalet and Cap Camarat offer the kind of turquoise anchorages and rugged cliffs the guidebooks mention but don't show how to find.

The day mixes quiet exploration with livelier moments. You'll cruise past the St-Tropez Citadelle while the captain explains what you're seeing, then anchor at Pampelonne Plage if you want the beach-club atmosphere, or skip it and stay in the secluded bays. Billionaires Bay, where the itinerary starts, is known for dolphin spotting and calm water for snorkeling. The boat has a galley, bathroom and sun pads, so there's shade and refreshment between swims.

A private charter means no fixed schedule and no other groups anchoring where you are. You choose the pace and which stops matter most. The captain adjusts based on conditions and what you want to do: more time snorkeling, more time at one beach, or a different route altogether if the wind shifts.

What’s included

Is this one for you?The eight-hour duration and private format mean you set the pace: anchor longer at the coves you love, skip the crowded beach clubs, or spend the afternoon snorkeling in one spot. This works best for swimmers and snorkelers who want flexibility and access to places the road doesn't reach.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the water like for snorkeling around Cap Taillat and the other stops?

Cap Taillat's Blue Lagoon is known for turquoise, calm water and is a prime snorkeling spot. L'Escalet and Cap Camarat also offer clear water and rocky coastlines that attract marine life, though conditions vary by season and weather.

Can we spend most of the day at one beach, or do we have to visit all the spots?

The itinerary lists multiple destinations, but a private charter means you set the pace and priorities. You can anchor longer at the beaches and coves you prefer and skip others if you'd rather spend the full eight hours in fewer places.

Is Pampelonne Plage crowded, and do we have to go there?

Pampelonne Plage is an iconic beach with beach clubs and a lively atmosphere, especially in summer. The itinerary includes it as an option, but you can choose to stay at the quieter anchorages like L'Escalet and Cap Camarat instead if you prefer fewer crowds.

What happens if the weather turns bad during the day?

The captain monitors conditions and can adjust the route or return to port if needed. Specific weather policies depend on the day's forecast, so confirm with the operator before your charter date.

Are there facilities on the boat, or should we plan bathroom breaks on shore?

The Pershing 45 has a bathroom on board, so you don't need to time stops around facilities. There's also a galley for snacks and drinks, and the boat carries bottled water and sodas.
