Your cruise
I welcome you aboard my sailboat for an onboard training course starting from Le Lavandou.
You'll have the opportunity to sail in a unique setting in the heart of the Port-Cros National Park. A varied area with its islands and peninsulas, well supplied with wind by the Mistral and, icing on the cake, magnificent scenery!
The chosen support, a 14m monohull cruiser (Oceanis 45), is ideal for understanding, feeling and progressing.
Your possible stops during this cruise
Initiate yourself to liveaboard sailing or progress towards self-sailing with me. I love passing on my passion!
You'll discover the immense potential of this boat and the use of all types of sail, from staysail to spinnaker.
Maneuvering, even regattas and crossings can be on the menu...
During your Sports Cruise in the Port Cros National Park (Lavandou), you can visit the islands of Porquerolles and Port-Cros, according to your wishes and weather conditions. Example of program, to be adjusted according to weather conditions
D1: Boarding the boat at 8pm. Welcome aboard!
D2: Shopping already done and the boat ready to sail, heading for the Hyeres islands.
After a night on board, you'll have breakfast on the boat at around 8am, followed by a safety briefing and an efficient topo. Now it's time for ACTION. We'll sail all morning, and you'll progress through concrete, repeated exercises until you've mastered the basics and are more autonomous.
Lunch break in a heavenly cove on the Hyères islands.
The island of Port-Cros is the most unspoilt and wildest of the Golden Isles. Its entirety is recognized as an underwater and terrestrial national park. With its thirty kilometers of marked trails, you'll be overwhelmed by its natural beauty.
At this time of year, the national park is particularly wild. The afternoon consists of navigation and theoretical instruction to perfect the use of the sailboat, understanding of the environment and mastery of essential safety elements. Dinner and overnight at anchor in a heavenly bay of Port-Cros.
D3: The program is adjusted according to the weather and the wishes of the crew. Everyone is invited to express themselves. Most of the day is spent sailing, always with a lunch break at anchor! In the evening, we can sleep in a cove at anchor, or in port for greater comfort. The choice is yours.
Day 4: Sailing, progress, good humor towards Porquerolles. You're now perfectly at ease aboard the yacht, we know each other well and the atmosphere is jovial and relaxed.
Porquerolles is the largest of the Hyères islands, with heavenly beaches of fine sand to the north and black sand to the south. You'll also discover a picturesque village, breathtaking scenery and vineyards.
Day 5: The weather will decide the tone (rough or fine) of these last sailings back to the port of Le Lavandou. Goodbye already! see you soon 😉

A very pleasant sailing area with a variety of magnificent landscapes: Port Cros Port Man, Porquerolles La plage d'Argent and the port, l'Estagnol, Cap des Mèdes. A very functional, comfortable, reassuring and efficient boat.
Damien is charming, and adapted to our wishes: cool on the first day with a swim and a walk around Port Cros, a little more sailing the next day, and finally 100% sailing on the last day. He's level-headed, thoughtful, didactic and attentive, and a sailor who knows his stuff very, very well. The whole crew was enthusiastic, and we'll certainly be embarking again with great pleasure for a future cruise.
Superb weekend in the company of Damien and his beautiful boat. Two days that felt like a whole week's stay! Varied sailing conditions thanks to the weather, but also thanks to what Damien proposed and imagined for us, variety in the landscapes discovered, in the activities proposed (knot workshop, carto, engine maneuvers, hoisting of the full range of sails, culinary workshop ;-) and we're forgetting ... and encounters made (dolphins and other crew members)!we hope you'll be able to enjoy this wonderful experience as much as we did! Well, not too much, as we'll have to leave Damien available for our next escapades ;-)
A super conductor who knows how to adapt to the people on board and the conditions and wishes so that everyone gets the most out of their stay. He shares his passion for sailing with no limits. We loved it!
Superb experience with Damien on his family sailboat; The boat is very well equipped, Thank you very much for this weekend with friends. See you soon! ⛵️
Damien is an excellent teacher, patient and very competent for optimal safety.
