Porto what is the max size of boat allowed on the buoys in Agay?
The larger buoys are designated 12-16m but last summer I tried to tie to one and had an argument with the grumpy harbour master who said I was too big

Round the corner to the W is Markc,s stomping ground St Raphael .
If you are reading this S from memory the fuel pontoon in the N side closes 12-2 lunch .
We sometimes ( bit cheeky) arrive at 1205 and tie up - there’s a petit Casino, + other shops + restaurants.
Safe and sound in Port Grimaud. St Tropez tomorrow. My poor wallet!!
Yup thats Baie de Canebiers. We've anchored in there overnight on a couple of occasions. Its a good secure anchorage. We took our tender around into the harbour for dinner once and had a very hairy ride back to the boat in the dark because the wind had piped up. Another possible anchorage for St Tropez is to tuck close into the shore just west of the harbourHow ever here’s the best place to anchor to visit STrop .- red dot it’s sheltered from the bay wind .

Shame thanksThe larger buoys are designated 12-16m but last summer I tried to tie to one and had an argument with the grumpy harbour master who said I was too big
Caution with that Baie des Canebiers, the seabed is globally muddy and doesn't hold under windy conditions (and boy can the wind blow suddenly here). We spent an horrible night dragging like mad. Weather permitting, it's definitely a fine anchorage once the youngsters and their blaring stereos depart back to St Tropez.
Yum yum! Sounds like we need to visit!The owner at the beach restaurant in Agay is best friends with the captainiere. So you could ring for a bookinging, explain you need a buoy and let him sort it out. The captainiere also runs to boat to shore shuttles so it is in their ineterest to work with the restaurants. We used our own tender as it happened as it was easier. In other good news they serve tiramisu!

A Trefoil (from Osculati, Bruce-like). Good on sand, not so on mud in my experience. It wouldn’t resettle when dragged.Thanks for the heads up. What type of anchor were you using?

I replaced it with an oversized Rocna
