FAQ Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez
When do Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez 2026 take place?
From Saturday 26 September to Saturday 3 October 2026 (26th edition). Regattas daily 11am-5pm in the Saint-Tropez bay and off Pampelonne. Opening ceremony Saturday, prize-giving Friday evening.
Best spot to watch the regatta?
Two zones: offshore Plage des Canoubiers (start/finish of biggest yachts — J-Class, maxi-yachts), or off Pointe du Pinet (coastal leg turns). We position the boat to maximise the view without disturbing the competition.
How much for an outing during Les Voiles?
Same rate as rest of the year: €650 full day for an 8-pax boat. High demand — 4-6 weeks advance booking recommended. Skipper option +€200/day strongly advised (delicate navigation near racing yachts).
Can we sail close to the racing yachts?
No, a 500m exclusion zone is enforced by the jury. All spectator boats must stay at distance. We strictly respect this rule — violation = fine and ban from sailing during Voiles in following years.
