Your cruise
Set sail from the port of Bandol and spend a weekend discovering the joys of sailing in Provence. This sailing course will enable you to discover and learn to sail on a houseboat, and you can also discover either the sublime Calanques of the South of France and Cassis or head for the magnificent islands of Hyères.
Your possible stops during this cruise
For your Weekend Course from Bandol, the sailing area is the coastal zone between Hyères and Marseille. Depending on weather conditions, you may sail further or further out.
The skipper awaits you on board at 9.30am on Saturday morning.
After a presentation and debriefing, you'll hoist the sails for a magnificent sail.
The instructor will introduce you to sailing and help you progress in setting the sails for different points of sail. During the weekend, you'll learn how to maneuver and steer the boat.
The instructor will also be able to answer any questions you may have: how to equip yourself for a sea trip, what to do if someone falls overboard, how to anchor the boat safely...
In short, sailing will hold no secrets for you, and you'll become a real sailor!

A great first experience on a sailboat, we sailed from Saturday 11am to Sunday 5pm with a very pleasant anchorage at Sormiou for the night, which was made possible by good weather conditions on Saturday. Sunday's more energetic wind enabled us to make the return trip in more... invigorating conditions! The boat has everything you need, including a small, fully-equipped galley, but as expected, space is limited both inside and out, and you shouldn't be too demanding when it comes to comfort.
Patrick is very friendly, attentive to safety and took the time to explain the basics of navigation to us, always in a good mood. We all took part in the maneuvers and at the helm.
Boat in very good condition, functional, clean. The heavy weather on the first day prevented us from going very far, but the experience of sailing safely in 30 knots of wind was exceptional!
Valentin is calm and reassuring in heavy weather. He's a great teacher, and we learned a lot. He let us make our own experience. Our time on board (nights, meals) was very pleasant. It makes you want to do it all over again!
