Everything worth knowing before you step aboard

Answers to what guests ask us most. Something not covered here? Write to us, or reach us on WhatsApp.

Is a skipper included?

Yes. Every charter runs with a professional skipper, who remains in command throughout the day. You need no boat licence of your own.

How many people can come aboard?

Up to 11 guests on either Tesoro day yacht. The published capacity is the maximum number of people on board, children included.

Where do you depart from?

Our day yachts leave from the Gulf of Saint-Tropez: Saint-Tropez (Quai de l'Épi), Sainte-Maxime and Marines de Cogolin. You pick your departure point when booking. Our chase boat is based at Port Camille Rayon, in Golfe-Juan.

How much does a day cost?

The rate depends on the boat and the date, and is shown live in each boat's booking engine. It covers the professional skipper and the standard on-board safety equipment, and is inclusive of applicable taxes.

Is fuel included?

No. Fuel is settled at the end of the day on actual consumption — you only pay for what the day's programme actually used.

How long is a charter?

A full day, around 8 hours. It is a single-day outing, with no overnight stay aboard.

Can we choose the route?

Yes. The route is agreed with your skipper according to your wishes, the time available and any bookings you have ashore. It stays indicative: the skipper may adjust it for safety, weather or sea state.

What happens if the weather turns?

Safety comes first. The skipper adapts the route to the weather and sea state, and we will tell you straight if conditions do not allow going out.

Can I book a refundable reservation?

Yes. At checkout you can add Protect Group's refundable booking option: if a covered event stops you attending, you claim the refund directly with them.

Why book direct?

The price is the same on every channel, but book straight with us and the day comes with our compliments: a paddleboard aboard, masks, snorkels and fins for everyone, and a chilled bottle of rosé.

What languages do you speak?

French, English, Italian, German and Spanish.

Do you offer boat transfers?

Yes. Our chase boat runs point-to-point from Golfe-Juan, Cannes and Antibes to Nice, Monaco, Villefranche, Cap-Ferrat, the Lérins islands and Saint-Tropez — 5 to 70 minutes depending on the destination.
