Сен-Тропе с борта яхты: вся правда о Лазурке в пик сезона | Кухня, марины, яхты и наш отдых

My friends, as you know, we moved our boat to the south of France, and we’ve already made a video about using some of the devices. If you haven’t seen that video, check it out here. But in addition to that, we filmed a couple of videos about the journey itself. As much as time allowed me. And today will be the first part about the Bay of Saint-Tropez. And the Bay of Saint-Tropez is one of the most beautiful places on the French Riviera, where everyone can find entertainment and plenty of joy. This is Sasha Goron with you, and you’re on the Interparus channel. And today — the Bay of Saint-Tropez. Let’s go. We dreamed of sailing our Garna ourselves, crossing the Bay of Biscay peacefully, visiting La Coruña, Cascais, and Lisbon, and exploring the southern coast of Portugal. But plans are plans, and work made its own adjustments. So we hired a professional delivery crew. From a company we regularly work with. Professionals delivered the boat here to the south of France. It took around 14 days. The forecast and weather were quite good, so everything went very smoothly and quickly. We ourselves arrived here in July, we were delivering a catamaran here. You’ve seen the video — it’s a sister ship of our GARNA. And it just so happened that like twins, they stood in the same marina for a while. Handing over the boat is a serious process, which took time, and only after that we could properly set off on our trip along the French Riviera. We managed to start in August. August is not the best time for yachting holidays, because everyone goes on vacation, and people flock to the boats. All of Europe switches to yachts and motorboats, and the summer holiday movement begins. The entire Riviera gets very crowded. But despite everything, we’re heading toward the Bay of Saint-Tropez. And we simply faced anti-catamaran chauvinism, no one wants to accept us on a catamaran. Buying a monohull seems more justified. We’re approaching now. And they told us, “Guys, call later, maybe after 12 there’ll be a spot.” Now I’ll try to call some friends and we’ll see what happens. For now we’re enjoying the passage, swimming along the way. In any case, our final destination is the Bay of Saint-Tropez. August always means a large number of boats in any yachting region. But I had no choice, so we ended up here in August. The sailor’s curse — no matter which way you go, you always sail into a headwind. What are the upsides? It’s very warm, even hot. Secondly — I managed to film for you shots like these. And honestly, it didn’t really feel like a vacation, because we were trying hard to organize the shooting for you, trying to film as much material as possible, because I won’t have time later, and that’s why I want to come back here again in October. I think it will be easier with the marinas, and there will be a bit more wind. And now, guys, just for you, we’re heading on our electric dinghy to Port Grimaud, which rightfully can be called the Venice When I first came here, I felt like I entered a yachtsman’s fairy tale, a place where every yachtsman dreams of living or staying as long as possible. Now I understand that traveling and living on a boat is much more exciting, but I want to show you this place simply because it was part of my first impressions. There are still places like this on the map. Towns like this for sailors. Oops, pardon. Someone’s ringing at us… honking, I’d even say. So we’ll let them pass now. It’s nice to be here. Every time I’m in Saint-Tropez or nearby I always try to stop by Port Grimaud and get these pure, kind emotions. In our ever-changing world That’s why — let’s go to Port Grimaud. (whistling) As you can see, guys, every little house has its own dock. Here, you feel like you’re in some imaginary world that shouldn’t really exist. There’s a sense of calm and peace here. When people strive for something like this, you understand their minds and souls are in the right place. There are all kinds of yachts here — old, new, motor, sailing. Over there is a boat for just €10,000, and next to it, multi-million-euro yachts. No one envies anyone, no one wants to take anything from anyone, my friends. Families ride around with little sailors like this. Of course, not everyone can live like this. But visiting places like this gives you a better perspective on life, a clearer sense of direction. There are many places like this — in France, in Spain, and in the US. I highly recommend stopping in places like this. You can rent a boat and ride around. If you’re on your own yacht, then take your dinghy and go explore. I don’t want to judge from an architectural standpoint, although there were marshes here before. And people created all of this. And again, it’s not some sort of architectural monument — it’s a place where people genuinely want to live. Guys, let’s try to get closer. Behind that glass, there’s a huge sailboat model. We’ll try to film it. The sun is on our side — I’ll slowly get closer. Guys, take a look, what a sailboat — a true gem for the owner and for the people around. And there’s a little catamaran nearby. I came here for the first time 15 years ago. That was my first catamaran which I sold and delivered here by myself. It was a Salina 48. The owner let me live on it for a month, and those were some of the best memories. I’ll put it this way — back then I still had a bit of that Soviet mindset. And in this place, that old mindset begins to heal, as much as possible. Here, I could ride and ride, and keep riding — it’s just beautiful. I get moral and aesthetic pleasure from it. Here, everywhere you can get around by boat — even to the market, or for breakfast at a restaurant. These kinds of electric boats can be rented here, and you can ride around with your family. And here you see shuttle boats, they also operate inside the marina. But something else caught our attention. I spotted a pool of classic boats. Possibly senior folks, who are over 60 years old, set up their moorings in one place, bought houses, settled in, and put their classic yachts on display. Guys, take a look at their condition — they just shine! I can’t even imagine how much effort and time it takes to maintain them. Just look — this one right here, the blue one — it’s even for sale. God, how sexy it is! Oh, and just look at this one! It’s impossible to look at it without awe! Just look at these boats — they’re 70, 100, even 120 years old! And just look at their condition! Everything is polished, everything shines… Oh wow… guys, this yacht is from 1912 — DIONE. Google it — yacht DIONE from 1912. I think it’s a yawl, not a ketch. Just think about it — 1912, the last century. My childhood was spent on a yacht like that, of course not of that level. It was a Soviet L-6, but still, my heart races. And they’ve gathered them all here. I’m sure serious, mature people live here. If I were a millionaire, my friends, I would buy myself a yacht like that. But I’d definitely need a good crew to take care of it, because it’s not for me to maintain. Look, friends — even the church has its own dock. Today is Sunday, we saw people coming out of mass, getting into their little boats and heading home. Behind the church, there’s a market. The spiritual and the worldly — side by side. And I imagined how beautiful a wedding ceremony could be here. Arriving by boat, swans swimming nearby… It’s something out of a fairytale… You could create a real fantasy scenario. What else do I want to show you, guys? There are garages here for boats or tenders. You just drive in and leave your boat here. Looks like mass is over — the bells are ringing, and people are starting to come out. I never get tired of saying it — here, everything happens at its own special pace, in a warm, kind rhythm. We broke the rules, guys — we had stay on vessel to the right. Please don’t tell anyone about it. There’s a service area here. Over there is a small shipyard. With travel lifts — but the max is about 40 tons. So a catamaran definitely won’t fit here. People make breakfast right at their docks, step out in the morning — and enjoy it immensely. This is a local alley, one of the quietest — away from the noisy streets. A true backstreet. And here’s a grandpa taking care of his classic boat. I want a boat like that, a pension like that, a house like that — what else does a real man need? And now, friends, we’re heading to a place I’ve long wanted to visit. There’s a canal here — and to be honest, I don’t even know where it leads. We’re passing under a small bridge and lock… Hey! Echo! And now we’re entering… wow, this is just the beginning of it all. Did you get that on camera? Wow! I had just mentioned swans — and here you go, thank the Almighty. It’s just unreal here — stunning — and then the swans fly by. And look, there’s a red Soling, my dream yacht. We had a Soling at the yacht club, and as a kid I always dreamed of sailing it. Eventually, in adulthood… We rented it at the yacht club, and now it’s a good memory. This, guys, is a catamaran Edel 33. It can be taken apart into three pieces — so you can load it into a normal truck. A special catamaran made of three parts. It’s an old brand. Later, someone bought it, and made these catamarans. But they had bad marketing. In the end, the company closed. Let’s talk a bit about food on a yacht, because when you’re sailing in a place like this, you suddenly want to eat good food! Really fast! You want it to taste good and look nice, and set the table with style. It just wakes up good feelings inside you. Everything feels better. And when you’re in Provence, how can you skip rosé wine, local food, and the famous Mediterranean cooking? These days, rosé from Provence is super popular — but 20 years ago, rosé was seen as cheap and not that special in France. But here in Provence, it’s really trendy, especially in summer. Now they even have a drink called — “rosé pool” or piscine de rosé. It’s lots of ice with rosé wine on top. Ten years ago, real French people would have laughed at this. But now they offer it themselves — this “piscine de rosé.” It’s great and very refreshing. Also, it has less alcohol. You enjoy the drink more than the alcohol. And when it comes to food — everything is super high quality. Guys, you can buy great food at the market, get fresh ingredients. You can cook it yourself, go to a restaurant, or order ready-made food. Like some kind of gourmet Uber Eats. They don’t offer that, but in general, food is not a problem here. Good, tasty food is easy to find. It was very hot, so we didn’t buy raw fish — we bought ready-made food. But of course, it would be great to grill fresh fish — simple and tasty. If you don’t want to carry bags — you can order delivery directly from the supermarket. It’s easy to arrange. We mixed it up — sometimes restaurants, sometimes cooking on the boat. It’s all pretty simple to do. Either at the marina or nearby — you’ll always find good shops. Almost every marina has lots of restaurants. In Cogolin, there’s a whole row of them. You can also take the dinghy to Port Grimaud — there are restaurants there too. And of course, every morning we searched for a boulangerie in each marina — a boulangerie is a bakery. They open at 6:00 or 6:30. And in the morning you can always get fresh baguettes, croissants, and a cup of coffee. Of course, the boat needs to be well-equipped. We had both a gas stove and an induction hob — this trip, we almost didn’t use the gas at all. There was a small freezer, but we only kept ice cream and ice in it. I think a small ice maker on a boat is very useful. They’re not expensive these days — from €100 on Amazon. For a family of four or five, that kind of ice maker is more than enough. Alright friends, we are in the most expensive village on the Med — a village called Saint-Tropez. We just passed the gendarmerie, where the movie “Gendarmes of Saint-Tropez” was filmed. This little bay — is a dream for many… I don’t even know what to call them. People come here to show off their wealth — and trust me, there are plenty of them. We wouldn’t mind either, but they didn’t let our yacht in — they said it was too small. So let’s take a walk along the promenade. Just so you know: there are also small boats and yachts here — and they’re in Saint-Tropez. So not only billionaires and VIPs come here. Older people come here too, to visit Saint-Tropez. Though most of these boats belong to local residents — and they sometimes get kicked out when there are big events. Look, even the police boat is here. And here we’ll see a whole art gallery drawn on the street. This time, it’s smaller. I was here 15 years ago — and these paintings were already here. Even the signature is still there: since 1970. And now the glamour begins: the biggest yachts… and designer shops… Like BREITLING, for example — I guess that one’s for regular drivers now. That’s the level here. But there’s one place I really like — a local ice cream shop called Glacier. It’s been here since 1988, and they make real homemade ice cream. Very tasty, honestly. So if you visit Saint-Tropez — be sure to stop by and try it! I highly recommend it. Now come the restaurants — loud and fun, with “magic” drinks, drunk and crazy nights. A whole row of restaurants — for every taste and budget. And here — the shopping street. If you want to buy something two or three times more expensive than usual — you’re welcome! Come in and choose. And in the evening, they set the tables here… And here begins the real narcissism — in full bloom. People buy ice cream, walk to the quay, pose, and watch billionaires having dinner. The bay itself is very small — we’ll show it from the drone, and you’ll see. And when they squeeze in the superyachts… Sometimes, guys, it’s like this: Oops… don’t worry… Two huge yachts are docked side by side — with just a small gap between them, and they put a third boat right in the middle, blocking it on both sides — just to show off! How can they leave the small yacht unnoticed? Come on, that would be inhumane, my friends! And here are modern sculptures: real art — no statues of communist leaders here. You can enjoy — like this one, a girl made from woven branches. And here — a couple hugging, a man and woman, kissing. The sculptures are made of bronze or brass. Very beautiful! Well, it’s dinner time already. And now the big yachts come alive — guests arrive, parties start, and at the same time there are scooters parked nearby. A mix of everything. Everyone finds their place, no matter their status. You can have dinner in a two-star restaurant, then get ice cream for 1.50 euro. This place isn’t only for the rich, it’s really open to everyone. You can enjoy, for example, yachts like these: classic, vintage ones. Look — this is Blue Bird, built in 1938, sailing under the proud British flag. Saint-Tropez is worth visiting — it’s really interesting. Even if just for a short visit, it’s worth it. One time I even slept here on a bench — yes, really, that happened! Welcome to Saint-Tropez! My friends, we spent four days here. The Bay of Saint-Tropez is really worth spending as much time here as you can. You can anchor here. On the left side when entering the bay, there is a cove — Bie des Canebiers. You can anchor there, if you have a small boat, there are even mooring buoys. There are a couple of restaurants you can reach by dinghy. After that comes Saint-Tropez itself. There are small marinas here, and very little space, especially in high season. The harbor is split into two basins: The Old Port, Bassin Jean Lescudier — it’s the cheapest one. But if you want something fancy, then Vieux Port is for you — the price is more than double for a day stay. It’s up to you to decide. From Saint-Tropez, you can get to Pampelonne Beach. One of the most beautiful and trendy beaches. Here you will find great clubs and restaurants, Club 55, Nikki Beach — there’s everything for nightlife and for day activities. All your needs will be covered here. You can also go see the Cap Camarat lighthouse, a quite famous lighthouse — many boats and even brands are named after it. And you can also go for a walk in the green park areas around here. You can also anchor outside the port in the roadstead. To the west of Saint-Tropez, even big yachts drop anchor there. In the very end of the bay, there are two marinas — or actually, to be legally correct, even three. Keep in mind that Port de Cogolin and Marina Cogolin are two different places. Port de Cogolin is just a few small docks along the canal that runs between two marinas, separating Port Grimaud and Marina Cogolin. There are very few guest spots in Port Grimaud. I’ve stayed there a couple of times. Because I was very lucky — usually in August it’s almost impossible to find a spot there. So aim for Marina Cogolin and book your place in advance if you’re coming in August. Both marinas are surrounded by beaches, there’s a beach between them and also on both sides of the marinas there are beaches. You can find fun here for every taste. There are golf courses, and mini-golf for the kids. Amusement parks, there’s a lot of entertainment here, especially from July to August. Almost every evening something is happening, like fireworks festivals. Life here is really full of energy. You won’t get bored here, my friends. And besides that, there’s the Sainte-Maxime marina — it’s already located on the northern shore of the bay. It’s quite small, it can accept yachts up to… if I’m not wrong, up to 25 meters. You can also book a place there. A night in Marina Cogolin cost us €98 for a 40-foot catamaran — that’s an August price. That’s the peak season. Normally it costs about 1.5 times less. Which is quite okay these days, really. Because over the last 2 years, marina prices have gone up a lot. There’s electricity, water, very good service in Marina Cogolin. Also, there are two more smaller service yards depending on your boat’s size. The bay is very well protected, especially from mistral winds. You can feel calm and safe about your boat, if you are staying here. We invited some friends on board, and they said that yachting is basically non-stop cleaning. I don’t know what mood I was in, but I always wanted to wash the yacht, maybe even too often. But working outdoors lifts your mood and builds resistance to stress. Even when it was +35°C outside, I still enjoyed the work and could splash myself with water and clean the boat at the same time. a nice way to cool down again, although sometimes it’s better to call a cleaning service to come and wash the yacht properly. Today is our last day in this beautiful Marina Cogolin. And now we’re planning a trip to the Lérins Islands. The night is supposed to be calm, so we plan to spend the night at anchor. But right now we’re going to join a very nice event. Every Monday the marina organizes a breakfast time, petit déjeuner. It’s a lovely start to the week. Here’s how it looks. It all looks simple and modest: coffee, croissants, tea. But the main thing is the atmosphere, the music. They usually start around 08:00. And for about two hours this little but great event happens. So let’s join in. The coffee is quite light, but the croissants are amazing — really perfect, just super. So, friends, how did you like the video? Did you enjoy it or not? Write in the comments what you found interesting. This is our new format. I’d really like to make more lifestyle videos and travel stories, but I just can’t find enough time yet, though I really enjoy doing it. Even when I had to combine vacation with work, I still got a lot of joy from it. This little trip is part of my dream to explore the whole Mediterranean, and the Canary Islands, and part of the Atlantic coast. Why? Because there is so much to see here. And I’ll tell you — the French Riviera is much more exciting from a boat. You can visit hidden bays, and charming little villages. It’s something different. Not like walking on the Croisette promenade, this fair of vanity. One of my plans was to start my journey from the French Riviera as a beginning. Also, we’re going to open a branch here, GARNA will also be available for guests. Just letting you know in advance. And the next video will be about our journey. Please make sure to subscribe — so you don’t miss it. Hit the bell, ring the ship’s bell! I’m Sasha Goron, and my team is always ready to help you choose a yacht, learn to sail, or register a boat. I invite you to join us here — or in La Rochelle. Sending hugs — see you at sea!

Мы перегнали наш катамаран GARNA (Isla 40) на юг Франции и провели несколько дней в бухте Сен-Тропе — в этом видео первая часть путевых зарисовок. Если вас интересует покупка яхты, пожалуйста, пишите мне прямо на WhatsApp ‪+33 644 14 21 68‬. В этом видео рассказываю, почему Сен-Тропе — не только витрина роскоши, но и удивительное место для яхтенного лайфстайла: от классических лодок и тихих причалов Grimaud до шумных клубов на пляже Pampelonne.

Так получилось, что мы попали в отпуск в августе (высокий сезон), хотя это не лучшее время. Но, в тоже время, удалось отснять для вас реальную яхтенную жизнь в этой время. Одним словом, бронируй заранее, будь готов к плотной тяге и специфике стоянок. И цена ничего себе: стоянка в марине Cogolin для 40-футового катамарана для нас обходилась в ~98€ в сутки.

Но даже в толпе есть свои преимущества: это погода, это люди, это природа, это утренние boulangerie, где багеты и свежие круассаны задают ритм дня.

Итак, вот что у нас получилось:

00:00 Путешествие в залив Сен-Тропе
00:50 Перегон из Ла-Рошеля на Лазурку
03:40 Едем в порт Grimaud
13:12 Питание в путешествии
16:58 Прогулка по набережной Сен-Тропе
24:05 Где можно встать в заливе Сен-Тропе и сколько это стоит?
29:15 Завтрак в марине Cogolin

В следующем выпуске — продолжение поездки, Леринские острова, Канны, Антиб и новые практические наблюдения по стоянкам и маршрутам.
