Your possible stops during this cruise
Go as a group for original, bespoke holidays on the sea. The boat is essentially private, and Lionel is there to help you have the holiday of your dreams.
He'll welcome you at Bandol. It's then up to you to decide what you want to do.
If you choose to travel towards Hyères, you'll have the chance to discover the marvellous Îles d’Or. The best-known island, Porquerolles, is set in beautiful turquoise waters, that doesn't have anything to envy from the Caribbean.
At the south of the island, you can admire its beautiful calanques. Explore the small, sun-bathed creeks, go for a swim and marvel at the sea beds. Armed with a mask and a snorkel, you'll discover incredible underwater biodiversity.
The Port-Cros National Park and the Pelagos sanctuary are also well worth a visit. To find out about this pearl nestled in the Mediterranean, click here.
You can also change the course to go towards Marseilles and the Côte Bleue. Admire the calanques from the boat... Marvel at the beauty of the location and the heavenly coves where you can take a dip. Go and discover Cassis and La Ciotat. Snorkelling also comes highly recommended in this area of the Mediterranean.
Lionel has been on a boat since he was very young and is well accustomed to initiating customers into the secrets of sailing. He will adapt his methods according to your level and your desires.
The programme can also be adapted depending on whether you' like to do a lot of sailing, or if you'd prefer to drop anchor in dreamy locations instead.
If you love kitesurfing or windsurfing, Lionel will take you to discover the best spots.

We must already congratulate Skippair who did a very good job preparing for the cruise: understanding our expectations and putting us in touch with the skipper who best met them. We spent an extra week with Lionel. He is a very friendly, relaxed and at the same time very serious person in his job. His boat was big and very well organized for our family of 5. special mention to the overall cleanliness. From a sailing point of view, although I already know dinghy sailing, my objective was to learn to sail on habitable boats in order to become autonomous in the long term. Lionel was a very educationalist and introduced me to all the elements: manoeuvres, preparation, navigation, storage, orientation, etc.... He is a qualified instructor and I feel I have made good progress with him, even if I still have a long way to go! Concerning the stopovers, it was mainly at anchor in paradisiacal settings: Porquerolles, Port Cros,... Lionel even introduced the whole family to his grouper spot while diving with masks and snorkels!
Lionel? Someone very nice, open, listening. And at the same time very serious and competent in his job as a skipper. Passionate about sliding sports. Very environmentally friendly and sensitive to what nature has to offer. He has been able to live in harmony with a family of 5 and make life on board go very well.
On a sailboat, you learn to live with the sea! We wash in the sea, we wash dishes in the sea, we dive into the sea.... In a way, we have the impression of being in a different world, of living a break in our lives
We spent 10 wonderful days with our family with our two teenage daughters. A mix of sailing with the crossing from Bandol to Corsica and peaceful paradisiacal anchorages. We complemented our cruise with beautiful hikes, board sessions on splendid spots (waves or slalom) or paddle sessions... Thanks to the Skippair team who gave us very good advice and proposed this beautiful formula
Lionel has been taking good care of us. He immediately understood how we wanted to sail and we took part in the navigation and life on board with ease. Lionel made us discover privileged anchorages. The crossing to Corsica went smoothly despite some nausea for some crew members! I was able to share sports moments with Lionel jogging, boarding (and yes we were able to bring the gear)! Lionel is a great skipper, very passionate and educational. His boat Le Sun Fast 43 is very comfortable and efficient
Many wonderful memories, among those that give us the most stars full of eyes the visit of the dolphins in the middle of the Mediterranean, they had rehearsed a beautiful show! And also, night sailing with a splendid starry sky, swimming in the middle of the ocean, snorkelling with hundreds of fish in an idyllic anchorage, spotting at sunset, boarding in the blue and warm water, peaks at 7.5 knots at the helm.... what more could you ask for
