Les Voiles de St. Tropez
From September 27 until October 4, sailing enthusiasts and racers will gather along the French Riviera for the annual Les Voiles de St. Tropez, a regatta that typically includes the world’s most extraordinary new and classic sailing yachts.
The 60-foot sailing yacht Miti, shown in the photo above, doesn’t quite fit that bill, but she’s more than nice enough to serve as a floating grandstand for the event. According to management company Sunreef Yachts Charter, Miti is available for charter at the regatta, taking six guests at a weekly base rate of 10,000 euro.
What’s nice about Les Voiles de St. Tropez (which translates as the sails of St. Tropez) is not just the spectacle of all the fine sailing yachts, but also the time of year when it takes place. Early fall is stunning in the Western Mediterranean, typically with plenty of sunshine, water that’s still warm from the summer heat, and far fewer crowds than you’ll find during the prime charter months of July and August.
There’s also typically less demand for charter yachts during late autumn, which means you should have a good number to choose among. Contact any reputable charter broker to learn more about Miti and other charter yachts that are available for Les Voiles de St. Tropez.
