About this tour
A fully customisable 4-hour private boat charter for up to 6 people in the Bay of St Tropez aboard a 6.5m speedboat. You steer the itinerary — leisurely cruising to Port Grimaud and Millionaires Bay, or action-focused with included waterskiing, wakeboarding, paddleboarding and snorkelling. Geared toward those wanting a hands-on, sporty water experience rather than a pampered floating hotel.

What to expect
You'll meet at your chosen departure port (most commonly Marines de Cogolin, 20 minutes from St Tropez town). You and your group board a straightforward 21ft speedboat with seating for six. The captain briefs you on safety and water sports options, then you decide the day's direction — whether that's slow exploration of the Venetian-style canals at Port Grimaud, anchoring in the sheltered bays to swim and snorkel, or cranking up speed for towed water sports like wakeboarding or tubing.
The 4 hours are entirely in your hands: you might spend 90 minutes in one bay, 20 minutes cruising the coast, then 90 minutes doing high-speed activities. There's no fixed schedule. You return to your departure point by the end of the window. A fuel deposit is taken upfront (€120 for 4 hours); any unused portion is refunded after the trip.

Good to know
This suits groups who want a sporty, active water day rather than a sedate luxury cruise — think younger families, friends keen on watersports, or anyone after a hands-on adventure. It's also fine for pure sightseeing if you prefer to cruise gently. Physically, all levels can join (no fitness bar), though wakeboarding and waterskiing require confidence in the water. Bring swimwear, sun protection and your own snacks; the boat provides ice and glasses but no food. Infants sit on an adult's lap. The €120 fuel deposit is mandatory; you'll get refunded if fuel spend is lower, but charged extra if you max out the tank through high-speed or towing activities (budget roughly €45/hour for sports, €20/hour for cruising). Alternative departure ports (St Tropez, St Maxime, Port Grimaud) add €50. Public transport links exist nearby if you're without a car.
