St Tropez is a beautiful little fishing village at first glance, however, through the windy cobbled streets, lined with charming terracotta buildings lies a vibrant shopping capital. Designer boutiques nestled into petite, classically French buildings with shuttered windows and golden walls. Eventually the narrow, windy streets open up to the port, a fascinating juxtaposition of beautiful, quaint buildings against immense, modern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yachting_content\/super_yachts.php\">Super Yachts<\/a> and bustling bars. St Tropez truly is a sleepy, fishing village that has been brought to life and doused in glamour and I was instantly enchanted.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-54193\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/DJI_0043.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4000\" height=\"2250\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Upon meeting our fellow travellers, a lively and welcoming group of brokers from other companies, I was gifted with a beautiful little bracelet to commemorate my day at sea in St Tropez! We were all split between 3 beautiful yachts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yacht_search\/yacht_view.php?pid=16944\">NEGARA<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yacht_search\/yacht_view.php?pid=14353\">OF VILLA ROMANA<\/a> and ours, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yacht_search\/yacht_view.php?pid=24617\">KIDI ONE<\/a>. KIDI ONE glided toward us, effortlessly cutting through the water, a vision in sparkling white with royal blue detailing. KIDI ONE was beautiful, with the theme of turquoise running throughout the exterior, hints of blue in the salon and then glossy, cherry brown and crisp white with splashes of gold spreading elegance and class throughout the guest cabins and bathrooms, the photographs truly do not do it justice.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-54207\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/22050566_10155927919533738_1070310481_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Ben and I sat on the sun pads on the bow of the yacht and the views were breath taking, stunning yachts, towering mountains flourishing with green and the sparkling sea, St Tropez is paradise. Finally, we came to a halt and anchored beside Plage de L\u2019Escalet, the hillside teeming with lavish villas and the sea, an incredible shade of turquoise. Now it was time for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/yachting_content\/water_toys.php\">water toys<\/a>! My first choice, the humble paddleboard \u2013 easy! Or so I thought. My first attempt at standing up resulted in my first plunge into the icy cold water, the September Sea is beautiful and wonderfully energising. I powered through, yet round 2 was still unsuccessful and resulted in another soaking, perhaps paddleboarding is not for me. On to the big boy toys, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/2017\/09\/13\/its-all-fun-and-games-unless-you-forget-the-water-toys\/\">Sea Bob<\/a>, whizzing across the surface of the sea was the most incredible feeling, though I didn\u2019t dare dive beneath the surface, it was an amazing rush to skim across the surface of the water like a human jet ski, that\u2019s a new one for the Christmas list!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 15px; font-weight: 300;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-54215\" style=\"font-style: inherit;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/22092572_10155927919603738_1980919176_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 15px; font-weight: 300;\">The afternoon was spent munching on Foie Gras sandwiches, sipping wine and getting to know everyone in an incredible setting.
