Saint Tropez Private Boat Charter in the Bay of St Tropez

Description

This is a private tour aboard a 6.5m (21ft) boat that comfortably sits 6 guests. It is not a "luxury" boating experience. We are at heart an "adventure sports" company. Those with an adventurous, fun disposition will get the most from this tour, though it is possible to just tour the bay leisurely. Lasting three or four hours, depending on your choice, the tour is fully tailored - you can decide where to go with the bay of St Tropez, how long to stop in each place, or leave the itinerary up to us, e.g. visit the picturesque canals of Port Grimaud (aka 'The Little Venice of France'). Visit Baie de Canebiers (aka 'Millionaires Bay'), snorkel, swim and paddleboard at anchor. We can also provide waterskiing, wakeboarding and inflatable tows at no extra cost. If you just want to tour the bay, without stopping or doing any sports, it's recommended you book the three hour tour. If you are looking for a higher-level water sports experience, please check our Super AIr Nautique 210 listing.

Great trip

We had a great time on the water. Matt did a great job. He entertained us and the children during our 4h trip by wake boarding, snorkling, paddle boarding. I would recommend every body this activity and espacially with Matt as captain

5 Star Boat Trip

We had a fantastic three-hour boat trip with Matt. It was relaxed, great fun and one of the highlights of our holiday. We cruised past some amazing yachts, enjoyed paddle boarding and swimming, and explored the beautiful waterways of Port Grimaud. Matt was a wonderful host – friendly, knowledgeable and great company. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this trip to anyone looking for a memorable day on the water.

Bay of St Tropez Boat Trip - Fantastic, Definitely Recommended

A fantastic boat trip around the Bay of St Tropez. Lots to do, including waterskiing, wakeboarding, paddle boarding, tubing and snorkelling, and Matt has all the kit available on board. Matt is very flexible about the trip, and is also very engaging and welcoming and has a very nice comfortable boat. There were only 3 of us on the trip, but ample room for more. The trip allows you to view areas of the Bay of St Tropez that you would never see unless on the water. There’s time for stops in secluded areas of the bay with swimming and snorkelling, then water-sports in the bay, and sightseeing from the water including a tour of St Tropez harbour and Port Grimaud (which is a totally different perspective by water!) Communication with Matt to plan the trip and arrange the meet up was excellent. I would strongly recommend a trip with Matt. Please note, TripAdvisor lists the trip as Cogolin, but it is available from St Tropez, Pt Grimaud and St Maxime (we started and finished at St Tropez).

Matt was an excellent...

Matt was an excellent host with great knowledge of the St. Tropez area: He took us to a gorgeous snorkeling spot at Millionaire's Bay where we got to see beautiful homes and private yachts. We also really enjoyed the "Little Venice of France". What a serene trip with a kind and fun tour guide. Highly recommend!

Great day in St Tropez

This was a really fun experience for my family and I. Matt showed us around the bay pointing out historical landmarks and other fun facts. He was very patient and accommodating to our two young daughters. We had a great experience swimming and enjoying the water.

Saint Tropez

What a great experience we had with Matt. Super super nice guy. Took us around the different bays, explaining and showing us fabulous homes of celebrities in the area. Also had time for a relaxed swim and stopped for ice cream in the small village next to St. Tropez . Our son and his girlfriend had a fabulous time exploring the different water tool options Matt offered. Overall a 5 star experience, highly recommended for everyone!!!!

Fantastic

Everything was perfect; at first, it didn't seem that way, but then it turned out to be a real discovery. The professionals were serious and precise; I couldn't have asked for better. Keep it up!
