Select participants and date
You step onto polished teak as the harbor light slides across the Pershing 40. The motor hums a steady promise and the town of Saint-Tropez recedes—boathouses, the gray crane of the capitainerie—and the sea opens like a road. The captain eases into the bay, and the Mediterranean, impatient with its own color, dares you to jump in.

Adventure Tips
Arrive Early for Berthing
Saint‑Tropez operates a one‑in/one‑out docking system—arrive at the meeting dock a little early to avoid delays and message your captain when you land.
Bring Seasickness Medication
If you rarely get sea sick, take preventive medication before departure—open water swells can be choppy even on sunny days.
Sun Protection Is Non‑Negotiable
Pack reef-safe sunscreen, a wide-brim hat and UV sunglasses; shade on deck is limited during peak sun hours.
Secure Footwear for Boarding
Non‑marking, non‑slip deck shoes make boarding and cliff-side paddles safer—flip-flops are unstable on wet surfaces.
Local Insights
Wildlife
- Posidonia seagrass beds (home to small fish and seahorses)
- Gulls and occasional dolphins in the bay
History
Saint-Tropez shifted from a fishing village to an international draw after films in the 1950s put the town on the map; the harbor still blends local markets with luxury berths.
Conservation
The bay contains sensitive seagrass meadows—practice no‑anchor-on‑meadow etiquette and use reef‑safe sunscreen to reduce local impacts.
