This experience, in a nutshell

The raw beauty of the Mediterranean , an exceptional climate in summer, moderate winds allowing very pleasant navigation, a warm sea, white sand beaches, make the Côte d'Azur an exceptional place where sailing is a permanent pleasure.

Departing from Saint Mandrier , we will sail between Cap Sicié and Cap Taillat , stopping at the magnificent islands of Porquerolles and Port Cros , at Cap Bénat , at Cap de Bregançon and the Gien peninsula. We will sail, every day, from anchor to anchor, in order to help you discover the richness and diversity of this wild part of the Côte d'Azur.

We only accommodate a maximum of 4 people on board in order to offer you as much comfort as possible. To accommodate you, we have two large double cabins and one single cabin. We will share the common areas. The very comfortable teak deck will allow you to indulge in contemplative relaxation, reading and sunbathing.

During your cruise, if you wish, Cyril will teach you the basics of the art of sailing, snorkeling and freediving. A 2-seater kayak and a large annex will be at your disposal to go for a walk along the coast and to get ashore.

Depending on the wind and your sailing preferences and places to discover, we would like to share with you the following anchorages:

The Port of Saint Mandrier
Our port of departure and arrival. Away from the major tourist centers of the Côte d'Azur, Saint Mandrier is a very charming port located in the center of the village. This is an ideal place to stock up and to give you time to get in the water a bit before starting your cruise.

Langoustiers Bay in Porquerolles
A real postcard decor. A superb wild anchorage bordered by a magnificent white sand beach, a translucent sea, fish by the hundreds, an ideal place to explore the West of the island on foot, a magical place to contemplate the sunset.

The Argent Beach in Porquerolles
One of the most beautiful beaches on the island, very fine and very white sand, a magnificent pine forest on the edge of the beach. Located about twenty minutes walk from the village of Porquerolles, this anchorage is ideal for discovering the charm of the island's capital, its cultural offer and its many restaurants.

The Bay of Courtade in Porquerolles
A magnificent place to indulge in the pleasures of swimming. A transparent sea resting on an immaculate bottom of fine sand. A beach lined with eucalyptus trees for lounging and sunbathing. A superb playground where to practice the Frisbee.

L'Anse de la Galère in Porquerolles
One of the most beautiful and wildest anchorages on the island. A rocky coast suitable for discovering the seabed by snorkeling. Three charming little beaches allow access to paths crisscrossing the east of the island.

Port Man Bay in Port Cros
The wildest and most spectacular anchorage in Port Cros, a breathtaking panorama. Magnificent deserted coves surrounded by rocks and pine forests. Sandy trails along the coast allow you to explore the east of the island. An ideal place for kayaking trips.

Cap Taillat
A very wild place offering two excellent anchorages on each side of the isthmus of the peninsula. A superb site for snorkeling. A very nice walk on land on the rocky massif constituting the cape.

Cap Bénat
A protected and privileged place covered with forests, olive trees and magnificent villas. Many very wild anchorages sheltered from rocky coves. A magnificent view of the Hyères islands.

Cap de Bregançon
Splendid beaches along an uncrowded coast. A grandiose panorama embracing the bay of Hyères, the Fort de Bregançon and Porquerolles.

The Gien peninsula
Very wild anchorages in the heart of the pine forest. Ubiquitous cicadas. Spectacular walks on the paths crossing the peninsula. An ideal place to go for a kayak trip.

Cap Sicié
A majestic schist promontory dominating the crystalline sea, an arid and impressive landscape surrounded by almost deserted beaches, a magnificent view of the Gien peninsula and Porquerolles.

Cyril e Nadine sono stati molto gentili, così come l'altra coppia di Francesi (Marylin e Gilles, fantastici) che era a bordo con noi. Il meteo, purtroppo, non ci ha assistito in questa vacanza: tirava un forte maestrale e faceva freddo (acqua dai 14 ai 17 gradi); una situazione del tutto anomala ad agosto. Cyril, ad ogni modo, ha cercato di fare quanto poteva in sicurezza e farci passare il tempo cantando in coro antiche canzoni di marinai francesi, insegnandoci come leggere una carta nautica e come fare i principali nodi. Segnalo, a titolo informativo, a chi legge la recensione per capire la tipologia di vacanza, che si tratta di una settimana in relax alla scoperta del mare e della natura selvaggia e non di "movida". Se ricercate una vacanza in cui sbarcare la sera a cena e visitare i porti, quest'esperienza non è adatta a voi. Noi speriamo di tornare in futuro con un tempo migliore!

Ce fût 1 belle et sympathique semaine en compagnie de Myriam Stephano nos coéquipiers, de Nadine et Cyril qui nous ont bien accueillis à leur bord. 1 fort Mistral nous a bloqué au mouillage 2 jours. Long vous me direz 3 nuits et 2 jours ? Non. Nous pouvions débarquer quand on voulait, ce qui permettait aussi de se baigner depuis la plage. Il y a eu un cours de navigation et de matelotage. 1 après-midi crêpes préparé avec amour par le chef. Nous avons repris la route quand les conditions météo ne représentaient plus de danger. Le bateau est super entretenu, bien rangé, propre, très bonne gestion de l'énergie et l'eau. Le coin cuisine complet, nous avons cuisiné 1 plat et 1 tarte au four, fait mijoté 1 plat en cocote fonte et mon mari a appris à faire du pain. Nadine est une personne agréable, zen qui joue de la guitare. Cyril ayant un parcours riche d'aventures nous a fait voyager lors de ces récits. Il est disponible, bienveillant s'assurant que l'on ne manque de rien. Bon vent…

Attention si vous naviguer seule vous risquez de vous retrouver dans un petit trou plus petit qu’une couchette de train impossible de s’asseoir se changer …. Évidemment aucune photo sur le site difficile de partir quand on a acheté les billets et la nourriture pour une semaine bref grosse arnaque ------------------- RÉPONSE DU SKIPPER -------------- Je suis particulièrement surpris par votre commentaire. Lors de nos échanges préalablement à votre réservation, vous m'aviez demandé préférer une cabine individuelle plutôt que partager une cabine double. Je vous avais répondu que c'était possible et que je pouvais vous réserver la dernière cabine individuelle disponible. Je vous avais informé que celle-ci était plutôt petite comparée à une cabine double, mais confortable (lit de 1,95 m x 1,05 m). Vous m'avez répondu que c'était parfait pour vous. Je vous ai demandé à l'issue de votre première nuit à bord si la cabine vous convenait, vous m'avez répondu qu'elle était parfaite. Je ne comprends donc pas votre commentaire, d'autant plus que vous m'avez dit que vous étiez enchantée par les endroits que nous avons visité, par le service que je vous proposais (vous emmener à la plage en dinghy, vous préparer quotidiennement le paddle, …), par l'emménagement de mon bateau, par les repas que nous vous avons préparés, … Par ailleurs, alors que vous vous êtes rapidement fachée avec vos co-équipiers, j'ai continué à échanger avec vous et à vous écouter me parler de vos problèmes et de vos traumas. Ces échanges semblaient être positifs à votre état psychologique. Je suis donc particulièrement surpris par votre commentaire.

La vacanza in barca con Cyril e Nadine è stata bellissima. Cyril ci ha portato in posti meravigliosi ed affascinato con le storie dei luoghi che ha visitato in barca. Le serate sono state piacevoli, allietate da musica e qualche ballo. Grazie Cyril e Nadine per questa esperienza, da ripetere ! Carlo e Patrizia
