RMF

Onboard the RMF

RMF, the 52-metre built by Sanlorenzo, carries just 10 guests across 5 cabins — a low ratio for a hull this length, and it shows in the proportions: wider cabin footprints, more open deck space per guest, and none of the crowding that comes with maximising berths on a boat this size. It is a yacht where the numbers on paper translate directly into how the space feels once you are aboard.

Based out of Saint-Tropez, RMF is suited to the Gulf anchor field south of town, where vessels of this length typically anchor rather than chase a Nouveau Port berth — quay space there is allocated well ahead of the July–August season. The five-cabin layout lends itself equally to an extended family taking the boat overnight toward Port Grimaud's canal marina, or a smaller corporate group using the yacht as a private base for a client lunch with the village visible across the water.

The guest-to-length ratio makes RMF a better fit for parties who want room to spread out rather than a full quota of cabins filled — a compact board group, three or four couples travelling together, or a family spanning generations who each want separate space. Anyone planning to extend the route west toward the Îles d'Hyères should factor in the extra distance and fuel that leg adds, and given how far in advance Saint-Tropez itineraries get locked in during peak months, earlier confirmation gives more flexibility on dates and anchor timing.
