Your possible stops during this cruise
The Côte d'Azur provides many amazing destinations for sailing and hiking. Beginners love these cruises and the location is particularly suitable for families.
Set out from Bandol for Port-Cros.
For over 50 years Port-Cros nature reserve has been protected from construction projects making it an exceptional resource for a diverse range of flora and fauna. The beaches are particularly delightful and the route is very adaptable so you can just stop off whenever you want.
Find out more about Port-Cros' beautiful beaches here: Set sail for the isle of Porquerolles, a sunsplashed island and nature reserve. Built between 1820 and 1850, the village belonged to a number of owners before bought up by a certain Mr. Fournier as a wedding gift to his wife. Today, apart from being a UNESCO protected nature reserve the island also has 200 hectares of vineyard whose wines are highly reputed.
There are also three delightful beaches on the island for lazing in the sun.

We had a great weekend! Sailing boat, sea, sun, landscape, everything was perfect!
A big thank you to Olivier for his patience, discretion, professionalism and kindness!2 adults and 5 children from 13 to 11 years old on board. The situation could have been complicated! :-) .. But Olivier is appeased. He made us feel at ease and shared his calm with us. I recommend with great pleasure!THANK YOU again!!!!!!
The smiles of the children on their return to Bandol with a little more wind than on the outward journey and the discovery of real sailing sensations.
Perfect organization, beautiful stopovers and very good organization
Olivier is a true pro of sailing, he is didactic, very friendly and adapts the stay so that everything goes as well as possible. A big thank you to him
The Bandol-Porquerolle journey in the open sea was magical, a muscular sea but not too much, a boat that surfs on the waves, a magnificent landscape and therefore a moment of perfection in communion with the elements and with the whole family
Beautiful weekend with Olivier. We were 2 adults and 2 boys of 10 and 12 years old. the night in Porquerolles is very pleasant and there are a multitude of anchorage points around the island. The water is clear and calm.
Olivier masters his tall ship perfectly, he is an educator and does not hesitate to ask us for the manoeuvres so that everyone can participate.
Two days at sea are enough to disconnect completely. We have just had a wonderful experience with Olivier, between creeks and Mediterranean ports. A weekend that really made us want to do it again, maybe a little longer!
Olivier is adorable, welcoming, funny, educational, that's for sure, if we reprogram a sailing trip, we won't miss calling him!
We were very lucky for this weekend because the sun was shining, we chose Porquerolles as our destination, a good choice at this time of year, pleasant stopovers because we were able to swim in several places and enjoy the sea bed, and life on board was harmonious for this family reunion.
Olivier is the perfect skipper. He is very educational and patient to show us a little bit of the sailors' gestures, he knows how to be present, to integrate into our group and also to be discreet when necessary, good time to play with him, always positive and attentive
Stroll in the Mediterranean, stopover in porquerolles at Embiez Island in Bregancon. Swimming in warm, turquoise waters. Very pleasant family life on board
Very professional very very discreet very pleasant and good card player!
Bandol, we settle down, we load the sailboat, we wonder how everything will fit... and everything fits. everything in its place, and we are off to the horizon... and finally we quickly realize that in the open sea we feel much less cramped and much freer than on land... Porquerolles Island, magnificent... and what an excellent restaurant! Then Lavandou... then Port-cros, famous natural park: unbeatable fauna, flora, landscapes... with the freedom to sail where you want, even taking the controls of the sailboat! perfect formula
Olivier was able to integrate perfectly into our group, very flexible on the program, and very good advice. Perfect knowledge of the boat and a great knowledge of the sea. Quickly becomes one more friend on board. Recommend it!
We were able to sail in superb weather conditions between Bandol and Porquerolles. We were able to swim before reaching the port of Porquerolles. Superb evening then visit the island the next day
Olivier was attentive to our expectations and concocted a program in this sense: he introduced us to the manoeuvres and took us to the anchorage and the port. We had our meals together and the atmosphere on board was friendly!
