Thumper

Onboard the Thumper

At 40 metres, Thumper carries the scale of a proper superyacht without losing the intimacy of a smaller charter. Five cabins are split across guest and owner areas, giving 12 guests genuine separation rather than shared corridors and overlapping schedules — a layout that suits a mixed group of couples, a family with adult children, or a corporate party who want private space to retreat to after a shared afternoon on deck.

In Saint-Tropez, a yacht of this size is typically anchored in the Gulf south of town rather than squeezed into a Nouveau Port berth, where space for vessels this length is limited and allocated well ahead of the season. From an anchorage off the Vieux Port, Thumper puts guests within a short tender run of the quay, restaurants and evening activity in town, while keeping the yacht itself as the quiet, private base for lunch, conversation or a client gathering with a clear view back toward the village.

Thumper reads as a yacht for groups who need room to host as much as room to relax — corporate charters entertaining a small client party, extended families splitting into cabins rather than cabins into shifts, or a couple bringing along friends for a multi-day stretch. Given the size and the seasonal demand on Gulf anchor positions and superyacht berths in July and August, earlier booking gives more flexibility on dates and on where the yacht sits for the day.
