Superyacht Guide to Saint-Tropez

Overview

Saint-Tropez is one of the Mediterranean’s iconic owner and charter destinations, with strong summer pressure, guest logistics and berth competition.

This guide focuses on verified port-arrival and emergency notes. Captains should check current berth, anchoring and tender restrictions before arrival.

Captain notes

Saint-Tropez should be planned early in season. Captains should confirm berth availability, arrival timing, guest access, tender rules, anchoring, security and delivery arrangements before arrival.

Official Saint-Tropez arrival information lists 729 berths, Boats: <80m and VHF Channel 9.

Marinas and berthing

Official Port de Saint-Tropez arrival information lists capacity of 729 berths, Boats: <80m and VHF Channel 9. The port contact page lists the harbour master’s office, phone +33 (0)4 94 56 68 70 and VHF 09.

Port authority

The harbour master’s office should be contacted for current arrival, berth, access and port instructions. Summer hours are listed as 24/24H on the official contact page, while winter office hours are reduced.

Customs and immigration

France is in the Schengen area, but yacht, charter, crew, guest, customs, VAT and non-EU procedures should be verified through official French sources or an experienced yacht agent before arrival.

Emergency contacts

France emergency numbers: SAMU medical emergencies: 15; police emergency: 17; fire brigade: 18; European emergency number: 112; maritime rescue from the coast: 196; distress at sea: VHF channel 16.

Yacht crews should still confirm marina emergency procedures, access points and nearest medical facilities with the marina or yacht agent before use.

Doctors, hospitals and medical support

Hospital and medical-support details for Saint-Tropez have not yet been fully verified in this guide. Use 15, 112 or local emergency services in an emergency, and confirm non-emergency medical facilities with the marina or yacht agent.

VHF and radio notes

Port de Saint-Tropez official information lists VHF Channel 9. For sea rescue, use 196 from the coast or VHF channel 16 at sea.

Bunkering

Fuel station and bunkering arrangements should be verified directly with the harbour master, marina or approved suppliers before operational use.

Provisioning

Provisioning, guest deliveries and tender logistics should be planned around berth location, summer crowds, port access and security restrictions.

Crew notes

Crew logistics should account for high-season traffic, accommodation pressure, tender movements and limited access windows.

Refit and repair

Saint-Tropez is primarily an owner/charter destination, not a heavy refit centre. Technical works should normally be arranged with verified local contractors or nearby service centres.

Security and safety

High-season crowding, event activity, tender traffic and guest movement require careful planning. Confirm access and security rules with the harbour master or agent.

Seasonal and weather notes

Saint-Tropez is highly seasonal, with strong summer berth pressure. Weather, swell, anchoring restrictions and tender operations should be checked before arrival.

Local rules

Port, anchoring, tender, guest-access and summer-event rules should be confirmed directly with the harbour master or yacht agent before use.
