Top Fishing in St Tropez

St Tropez the resort of the rich and famous, and I mean A list stars like George Clooney, Beyonce. Normally known for its glamour and sophistication, St Tropez once a sleepy fishing village still pays homage to his history.

Fishing is still popular in this French Riviera resort. If you don't have your private yacht then there are a number of boats for hire with experienced crew members to take you fishing.

You can go deep sea fishing, big game fishing or whale watching. Choose your excursion and it will be available.

Big Game Fishing

Deep sea or big game fishing is done from a boat and there are a number of companies in and around St Tropez which run these sorts of tours. Sea angling is normally done by rod though special rods are needed for deep sea angling as some of your catch is likely to be big fish such as tuna, swordfish, white marlin and dolphin fish.

Two companies that operate both big game and deep sea fishing are Mai Mai Peche au Gros and Fishmania. Both companies run from the St Tropez area and offer day trips for fishing at sea.

The boat hire companies often also offer excursions which do not include fishing.

No fishing allowed!

Of course, you could take a boat to whale watch in the cetacean sanctuary, a protected area of the Mediterranean off the coast of the French Riviera for marine mammals. See rorquais (whales), dolphins, sperm whales and turtles.

There are also opportunities for coastal fishing again with a line. The variety of fish in shallow waters will differ.
