Charter fees for a luxury St. Tropez yacht charter typically start at around US$50,000 per week for smaller vessels and rise well beyond two million for the world’s finest superyachts by pedigree European shipbuilders. Pricing depends on the size of the yacht, the length of the charter, and your cruising itinerary, with premium rates during peak season.

In addition to the base charter fee, an Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA) is collected upfront to cover variable expenses such as fuel, food and beverage, berthing fees, and on-land excursions. Your charter broker will provide an APA estimate based on your itinerary. At the end of the charter, the captain provides a full cost breakdown, and any unused APA funds are refunded promptly.

The number of professional crew on a private yacht charter in Saint Tropez will primarily depend on the size of the vessel.

  • Sommelier and mixologist
  • Dive master
  • Spa therapist and masseuse
