To get the blood pumping again, the party took off in the Torpedos for a sprint down to Saint Tropez after lunch. At around 45 knots, the journey took just over an hour, the sight of an entire fleet of speeding J Craft boats attracting much attention from passing helicopters and super yachts along the way. The party arrived in Saint Tropez in time for sunset cocktails – the perfect end to the day. Rolls-Royce were once again on hand to provide elegant passage back to Monaco.

Speaking in Saint Tropez, J Craft’s Johan Attvik said, “It was another amazing event and I would like to thank our friends at Rolls-Royce for joining us on the Riviera. A natural synergy exists between us, with our products complementing each other perfectly. Our thoughts have already turned to next year’s Riviera Runabout and how we can further enhance the programme. We are looking forward to being joined by more J Craft friends and owners in the South of France.”
