About the experience

I am renting this large 16-meter Beaufort ketch, refitted in 2013 and equipped for offshore sailing. It has 4 cabins, a refrigerator, freezer, washing machine, TV, stereo, watermaker, generator, solar panels, a large sun deck, a dinghy with a 9hp outboard motor, fishing and diving equipment, fins, masks, and snorkels. Contact me if you would like more details about the sailboat and the rental. A skipper is available for an additional €150 per day. Bedding is optional and payable directly.

New in 2016: day trips with a skipper are available. Departing from Hyères, we can visit the Îles d'Or (Porquerolles, Port-Cros, Levant, Bagaud) for groups of 4 or more. Prices are available upon request.

Hyères, your starting point located at the mouth of the Gapeau River, is near Toulon, Cap Bénat, Fort de Brégançon, Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer, and not far from Saint-Tropez (24 nautical miles).

Porquerolles, easily accessible from the Giens Peninsula, stands out as the main jewel of the Îles d'Or (Golden Islands). Only 4 nautical miles separate Hyères from Porquerolles.

New for 2020: themed sailing and detox wellness cruises starting in April. Enjoy sports, fitness, and sailing, all led by a professional instructor.

New for 2020: Naturist cruise from Porquerolles to Port Cros and Île du Levant.

An extra skipper is required: I will be on board during the charter.

    We spent two unique days aboard a charming sailboat with 51 years of history. The boat, although vintage, is well-maintained and has a real soul, giving the adventure a very authentic feel. Alain, our skipper, has a strong and original personality and is extremely knowledgeable about the region and sailing. He showed us some magnificent spots while passionately sharing his anecdotes and experience. A timeless interlude, ideal for lovers of adventure, sailing, and authenticity. Thank you for this moment!

    We had an excellent weekend with Alain. He knew how to pass on his passion for sailing to us and made us participate in the navigation maneuvers. As an accomplished sportsman, we had very rich discussions on this subject. Thank you also for the little touches during our stay, quality on-board service. Good luck to Abondance and Alain.

    Excellent family weekend in the company of Alain like his character boat. We were able to enjoy the region and the island of Porquerolles. Very good memory for the family who only asks to start again. We were guided with confidence and the result was up to everyone's expectations.
