Saint-Tropez is the ultimate starting point for luxury yacht day trips along the stunning French Riviera coast. While many visitors flock to the usual hotspots, this guide reveals the hidden gems and unique experiences you truly don’t want to miss. From secluded bays to exquisite beach clubs, here are the top 5 must-visit spots for an unforgettable yacht day trip.
1. BAY OF SAINT-TROPEZ: THE PERFECT STARTING POINT
The Bay of Saint-Tropez is a natural jewel with crystal-clear waters and picturesque views. While the main bay can get busy during peak season, anchoring near the small hidden beaches just outside the town offers tranquility and privacy. Pro tip: arrive early in the morning to beat the crowds and bring a SUP board to explore the bay from a new perspective. Checklist for the perfect day on the water:
-
High-SPF sunscreen – At least SPF 30 to protect your skin from intense sun exposure
-
Polarized sunglasses – Reduces glare and protects your eyes
-
Wide-brimmed hat or cap – Ideal for shade when relaxing on deck
-
Swimwear – For swimming, sunbathing, or beach visits
-
Light cover-up or change of dry clothes – Comfortable after swimming
-
Snacks or picnic items – Lalmy Care also offers a foodpackage
-
Power bank – Keep phones, cameras, or speakers charged
-
Snorkeling gear – Optional but great if you plan to stop in clear, shallow waters
-
Waterproof phone case or camera – To safely capture your favorite moments
2. CAP TAILLAT
Cruise down the coast to Cap Taillat, a protected peninsula known for its wild beauty and quiet coves. It’s ideal for a swim stop or short hike, with turquoise waters and untouched surroundings. Anchor near the southern side for calmer waters and enjoy the contrast with the busier Saint-Tropez vibe.
3. PORQUEROLLES
Porquerolles is the chicest of the Golden Islands — a blend of wild coastline and Mediterra ennean charm. Anchor near Plage Notre-Dame, and simply enjoy!. After exploring, cool off with a swim in one of the island’s picture-perfect bays.
4. PORT-CROS
A paradise for marine life lovers. Port-Cros is part of a national park, with crystal-clear waters and marked underwater snorkel trails. Anchor in the designated zones, grab your mask and fins, and dive into some of the most protected and vibrant sea life in the Mediterranean.

5. PAMPELONNE - ARRIVE IN STYLE FOR THE SECOND SHIFT

BONUS TIP!
ALWAYS make a reservation at your favorite beach club. Our experience is that many tables are booked far in advance and without the right connections you will not be able to book a table.
