Sébastien Agius Yacht Consultant

Yacht broker in Saint-Tropez.

The most photographed harbour in the Mediterranean, the Pampelonne anchorage, Les Voiles in October: Saint-Tropez is a charter destination before it is a sales market. I help you make the most of it both ways.

HighlightsSummer, Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez (early October)

Saint-Tropez is lived afloat. The large yachts anchor off Pampelonne and in the gulf, the 20 to 40 m compete for berths in the old harbour, and charter demand is the most concentrated on the coast between June and September. It is the ideal place to charter a yacht, and the place where an owner often discovers what a season really costs.

For a sale, the gulf is an exceptional showcase in summer, but transactions are most often completed in Antibes or Monaco, where yards, surveyors and technical quays are. I organise myself between the two: viewings and sea trial in the gulf, survey and closing where it is efficient. As a former captain, I know the gulf from the sea, not only from the road.

The ports

Port de Saint-Tropez

The old harbour and its mole: a few hundred much sought-after berths, with large yachts alongside in season and during Les Voiles. Summer berths are secured early, often through a broker or an agency.

Port Grimaud and Marines de Cogolin

At the head of the gulf, two quieter and better-sheltered harbours suited to 10 to 30 m yachts and to wintering, minutes from Saint-Tropez by sea.

Pampelonne and the gulf

The reference superyacht anchorage in summer, regulated (anchoring zones, Posidonia seagrass): something to know before bringing a yacht there.

What sells and charters here

  • Weekly charter: the strongest demand in July–August, with departures from Antibes, Cannes or Monaco to the gulf.
  • 20 to 40 m yachts of summer owners, often little used off-season: good purchases if maintenance has kept up.
  • Sale: maximum visibility in summer, technical completion elsewhere; plan the logistics from the mandate.
  • Anchoring rules: protected zones change; to be checked each season for a yacht in charter.

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy a yacht in Saint-Tropez in summer?

Yes, and it is even when you see the most boats. But survey and sea trial must be done in good conditions, often after the season or in a technical harbour. I structure the timetable from the offer.

How do I get a berth in Saint-Tropez harbour for the summer?

By starting early and going through the right people: summer berths are allocated by seasonal contracts or nightly. For a yacht in charter, it is something I settle in the season plan.

Do you travel to the gulf for a viewing?

Yes, to Saint-Tropez, Port Grimaud, Cogolin, Sainte-Maxime and at anchor. A viewing is prepared; I never have a buyer travel for a boat I have not first checked on file.
