The town and the gulf

About Saint Tropez and Its Tours

Saint Tropez is a fishing port on the south shore of its own gulf, with no railway station and a peninsula of capes and vineyards behind it. Its citadel keeps a maritime museum in the restored keep, the market fills Place des Lices on Tuesday and Saturday mornings, and the long beach of Pampelonne belongs to Ramatuelle next door. Join us on the water and in the villages, from a paddleboard at anchor to a van through Grimaud. We bring together the tours worth your time, with what each fare buys on every card.

What to See in Saint Tropez

Much of it costs nothing: the port and its quays, the lanes and little beach of La Ponche, and the market square on its mornings. The paid doors are few, and the Citadelle de Saint-Tropez, the Musée de l'Annonciade and the gendarmerie and cinema museum each charge €5. From the water the capes open up, Cap Taillat among them, protected since 1987.

Getting to and Around Saint Tropez

There is no railway station: trains stop at Saint-Raphaël, and the ZOU! 876 coach takes about 1 hour 15 from there, from €3. Toulon-Hyères airport is about 49 km away and Nice about 91 km. The green ferries cross from Sainte-Maxime in 15 minutes, and in town a small electric bus runs from the market square for €0.50 a trip.

When to Come

July is the driest month in the Météo-France normals for Fréjus, the nearest coastal station, with 15.6 mm of rain, and November the wettest at 132.5 mm. The town holds its Bravades from 16 to 18 May every year. The classic sailing boats race in Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez from late September into early October, and the scheduled boats from Nice and Cannes sail from May to October.

What you will see

Named Highlights of Saint Tropez

What the boats and the vans show you, from the old quarter by the water to the capes round the peninsula.

The port and its quays

The Port de Saint-Tropez is where the fishing boats, the ferries and the superyachts tie up, with pastel houses along the quay and the tourist office on the Quai de l'Épi.

The old fishermen's quarter

La Ponche is the oldest quarter of the town, with fishermen's houses and a small, free beach of coarse sand between two old towers.

A keep above the town

The Citadelle de Saint-Tropez keeps a maritime history museum in its restored keep, and one €5 ticket covers the museum and the ramparts.

Market mornings

Place des Lices fills with produce, fish, flowers and clothes stalls every Tuesday and Saturday from 8:00 to 13:00, all year round.

The bay of the villas

The Canoubiers bay east of the town is where the private boats drop anchor for a swim, with villas among the pines above the water.

A long beach and a saved cape

Pampelonne belongs to Ramatuelle and covers 27 hectares of sand, and Cap Taillat beyond it was bought for the nation in 1987 after a holiday village was stopped.

Plan your visit

Everything You Need Before You Go

No train reaches Saint Tropez: the ZOU! 876 coach runs from Saint-Raphaël station in about 1 hour 15, from €3, and the green ferries cross the gulf in 15 minutes. In town the electric bus costs €0.50 a trip, and the Parking du Nouveau Port by the harbour has 1,477 spaces.

Getting around Saint Tropez

The town, the port and the beaches cost nothing, and the three museums are €5 each. A place on the catamaran costs from $74, a return seat from Cannes $93 and from Nice $112. A whole boat runs $435-$3,019 per group, with fuel on top of every motor charter.

What a private boat costs

July and August are the hottest months, with average highs of about 29 °C at Fréjus, the nearest coastal station, and July is the driest. The Bravades run from 16 to 18 May, the regatta fills the gulf from late September, and the scheduled boats from Nice and Cannes sail from May to October.

Best time to visit

A room in town puts the port and the sunset boat on your doorstep. The resort across the gulf is 15 minutes away by ferry, Port Grimaud and Cogolin sit beside the marina most private boats leave from, and Nice or Cannes suit a day trip by sea.

Where to stay

Most private boats and the catamarans berth at the Cogolin marina, round the head of the gulf, and the sunset boat boards by the Capitainerie on the town's port. The scheduled boats start in Nice and Cannes, and the van tours meet in town or collect you.

Tour meeting points map

Straight answer

Do You Need a Tour in Saint Tropez?

Often not, on land. The port, the lanes of La Ponche and the market are free, the three museums charge €5 at the door, and the green ferries cross the gulf in 15 minutes with no guide needed. You can walk the whole town in a morning on your own.

A tour earns its fare where you cannot go alone: out to the capes and the swimming bays with a paddleboard, round the coast under sail, or to Grimaud, Gassin and Port Grimaud in one morning without a car. It also takes you to the wine estates without driving, or over from Nice and Cannes without the road. There are no Saint Tropez tickets to buy for the town itself. Saint Tropez ticket prices here are simply the fares on each card: from $74 for the catamaran, $93 for a return seat from Cannes and $435 for a whole boat, plus fuel. Make your Saint Tropez booking for the day you want, since each Saint Tropez reservation here refunds in full up to 24 hours ahead. Every option is weighed in the guide to choosing a Saint Tropez tour.

Which one is me

Choosing the Right Tour for You

Start from what you want out of the day, the water, your own party, a crossing from along the coast or the villages inland, and the right tour follows.

The gulf from the water

The half-day catamaran sails from $74 a person, with kayaks and paddleboards at the swim stop. Compare every boat tour Saint Tropez sells, from a scheduled seat to the whole boat, with the fuel printed beside each charter fare.

Just your party

Your own boat on the bay takes six from $435 plus fuel, and the Pershings take eight to ten. Each private boat tour Saint Tropez offers sits beside the private van days, priced per group or per head.

Coming from Nice or Cannes

The return crossing from Nice gives you five hours ashore for $112, and the Cannes boat does the same for $93. Every Saint Tropez day trip is set out with its sailing or pickup times.

The villages without a car

A shared van meets you in town for Grimaud, Port Grimaud and Gassin, and the private road days add Ramatuelle and the mimosa village of Bormes, collecting you where you stay.

Wine without the driving

Wine tour Saint Tropez days start at your door within 10 km of town, from $487 a person, and spend six to seven hours among Côtes de Provence estates. Tasting fees are paid at each estate.

Off a cruise ship

The shared van meets you two minutes on foot from the tender pier, and the private tour meets you where the tender lands. It drives you back to your ship at the end.

From $74 a head on a shared catamaran, and $93 to $112 for the boat from Cannes or Nice. The shared van and the road day from Nice cost $145, and a private van day $170 to $487 a head. A private boat costs $435 to $3,019 per group, plus a fuel surcharge on every one.
Why do Saint Tropez boat prices say “plus fuel”?
Every motor charter lists fuel as an exclusion, so the price you book is not the whole cost. The sunset boat adds €100 per booking and the bay boat €90 for three hours or €120 for four, paid before you sail. The Pershing charters do not publish the amount: ask the operator for it before you book.
Do the boats leave from the town itself?
Mostly not. The bay boat, most of the Pershings and the catamarans berth at Marines de Cogolin at the head of the gulf, and the catamaran also sails from Cavalaire and Le Lavandou. The sunset boat leaves from the Capitainerie on the port, and some charters collect you in town, the bay boat for €50.
Can I get to Saint Tropez by boat from Nice or Cannes?
Yes, from May to October, on the Trans Côte d'Azur boats. The Nice boat leaves Quai Lunel at 09:00 and the Cannes boat Quai Saint-Pierre at 10:15; both land at 11:30 and leave at 16:30, so you get five hours in town. In 2026 the Cannes boat runs to 20 October, with last sailings on 23–25 October.
Is there a railway station in town?
No. Take the train to Saint-Raphaël and the ZOU! 876 bus, about 1 hour 15 minutes from €3, or the 878 along the coast from Toulon. The nearest airports are Toulon-Hyères, about 49 km away, and Nice, about 91 km.
Which tours include food or drink?
The sunset boat pours bubbly and drinks, and the Pershings carry snacks and soft drinks. The catamarans pour an aperitif and sell an €18 lunch box; the scheduled boats have a bar. The bay boat asks you to bring your own, and on the wine day the tasting fees are paid at each estate.
What is the best Saint Tropez tour for a family?
The bay boat: the whole boat for up to six, buoyancy aids, paddleboards, tubes and two swim stops. Infants ride on a lap on the boats, and the catamaran takes children from one year. On land, the town's museums are free for anyone under 12.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Every tour listed here refunds in full if you cancel at least 24 hours before it starts. The boats also cancel for bad weather with a new date or a refund, and a few shared tours cancel if too few people book.
Are any tours wheelchair accessible?
On land, yes: the shared van tour of the town and the hill villages says its vehicle and surfaces are wheelchair accessible. No boat listed here is, and every boat warns off anyone with back problems.
What can I do in Saint Tropez for free?
Walk the port, the lanes of La Ponche and the old town, and browse the market on Place des Lices on Tuesday and Saturday mornings. In regatta week you can watch the boats from the shore. The Citadelle and the town's two other museums charge €5 at the door.
When is the market?
Tuesdays and Saturdays, 8:00 to 13:00, on Place des Lices, all year round. The scheduled boats land at 11:30, so a Tuesday or Saturday sailing gives you the last of it.
When is the big autumn regatta?
Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez runs from late September to early October; in 2026 it is 26 September to 4 October. It is free to watch from the shore, and the regatta catamaran follows the racing from Marines de Cogolin that week only.
Is there a wine tour from Saint Tropez?
Yes: a private day to the Côtes de Provence estates around Le Cannet-des-Maures and Vidauban, with free pickup within 10 km of the town. The guide picks the estates on the day, and you pay the tasting fees at each one.
How long should I spend in town?
Five hours covers the port, the Citadelle and a market morning, which is what the boats from Nice and Cannes give you. A day on the water or in the hill villages needs a second day.
Where do private charters pick you up?
It depends on the boat, and the operator confirms the berth a few days ahead. The sunset boat meets at the Capitainerie on the port, most Pershings berth at Marines de Cogolin with collection in town on request, and the bay boat meets outside the Capitainerie at Marines de Cogolin.
