St. Tropez Narrated Harbour Boat Tour: Le Brigantin II

Board the iconic Le Brigantin II for a one-hour narrated cruise of St. Tropez Bay — the classic introduction to the port's glittering waterfront, lighthouse and legendary anchorage, told with Gallic charm.

What to expect

Departing from the Vieux Port, the boat arcs out past the lighthouse before tracing the full sweep of the bay, commentary pointing out private villas, famous anchorages and the storied history of each headland. The open bow is the place to be — sea breeze, sunshine and a glass-flat bay on a calm morning make this a sensory delight. It's short, sweet and the most authentic way to see St. Tropez from the water.

Good to know

Departures roughly every hour from the Old Port quayside kiosk — no advance booking needed, but arrive early in peak season (July–Aug). The entire excursion fits comfortably within a 2–3 hour port window. Combine with a stroll through the Tuesday/Saturday Place des Lices market if timing aligns.
