Your possible stops during this cruise
Departing from Bandol, sail towards the Calanques de Marseille or even the islands of Hyères, Port-Cros, and Porquerolles!
Lunch at anchor, followed by sailing or hiking: this is the dream program for this weekend.
From the moment you board, and with the captain's guidance, you'll participate in the sailboat's maneuvers.
Even if you've never sailed before, the skipper will introduce you to the basic rules of sailing and will offer you the chance to steer, hoist the sails, and more.
If you'd like to learn how to plot a course on a nautical chart, learn about the weather, or learn how to use a GPS, the skipper will cater to your needs with kindness. He's a sailing professional who's eager to share his passion with you!
But this trip is also an opportunity to relax in front of the turquoise islets and enjoy the superb surroundings.
Whether it's the Calanques National Park with the discovery of the Frioul, Sugiton, and Sormiou islands to the west, or the Hyères islands to the east with the discovery of Port-Cros and Porquerolles, you won't be disappointed!
Take the opportunity to discover new spots, go for walks, or go on some hikes that the skipper will recommend.

An unforgettable week of sailing with Lionel, rich in experience and emotion, with a perfect instructor! Passionate about sailing and in love with his boat, Lionel takes great pleasure in passing on his passion!
Excellent organization by Claire.
Superb 3 days sailing course from Bandol with Lionel ! Anchorages in the creeks of Marseille and near the Presqu'île de Giens.
Lionel is welcoming, educational, sociable and will go at your pace according to your desires.
Super training course of 2 days of discovery for a technical approach in the good mood which gives envy to continue this learning.
Lionel knew how to adapt to everyone's expectations in a nice atmosphere.
The net of the rail rubbing on the water and me at the controls .....quel pied!!! The South Seas ......off Friuli 😎👍😁
Very nice cruise around Bandol ! Two anchorages and many training maneuvers! A lot of things learned and a great pleasure of navigation!
Lionel adapts to the group and to the desires of each one, he is very educational and allows you to fully enjoy the sea!
We had an excellent weekend through a Bandol Porquerolles crossing which allowed us to discover the joys of sailing on a sailboat over 13 meters long. the boat is comfortable and has everything you need for cruising without neglecting speed.
Lionel shared his passion with us and allowed us to discover the navigation of such a boat. He showed patience and pedagogy and did everything to make the we informative and enjoyable.
Very pleasant, varied and friendly spots. A real oxygen bubble
Lionel is a true professional. He knows the subject. Always in a good mood and with good advice. Present when necessary, discreet when necessary. I recommend
3 days with a very nice program that we have chosen day by day in view of the uncertain weather. (Early November at the same time temps😉) But Lionel has come up with ideas so that we can enjoy these unforgettable sea trips.
Lionel, a bon vivant, pleasant and with a lot of experience in this field. We shared some very good moments. Glad to answer our questions... In short, a beautiful human experience that I would like to relive... Thank you Lionel;)
The cruise took place, as requested, in a rather relaxing mode, for a family of 4 people with children from 6 to 10 years old. We were nevertheless able to appreciate the speed of the boat and its ability to hold the cottage, sensations guaranteed! In two days, we were able to go around the island of Porquerolles, anchor in one of its coves, swim in transparent water, dock on the island in a mini "zodiac" and have dinner in the village... Finally, the weather was also perfect!
Lionel met the family's expectations and shared with us his knowledge of sailing and the different areas crossed during the cruise, as well as his professionalism and sailing experience, which helped to put all the family members in complete confidence.
Very pleasant cruise, good weather, beautiful sea, little windWe left for Cassis and the calanques, 3 days over the water. TopWe were able to find what we were looking for, participate in the manoeuvre and gain in autonomyWe were very comfortable 3 plus Lionel
Lionel is very pleasanthe enlightens us explicitly on sailing, pointed in his domainwe thank him for the good past times I advise 😄😄😄
Great organization, both from Skippair and with the skipper himself. Perfect balance during the course between learning and relaxation.... very good moments spent with all the crew!
Lionel is simply perfect: an excellent skipper with whom you feel confident and who is keen to share his knowledge. Add to that a foolproof sense of humour and the chemistry is created right away to have a great time.
When the wind rises, the sailboat takes speed and heels... then at the end of the day, when you choose a pretty cove to anchor in, you take a swim a little, you take an aperitif and cook a super ratatouille... a feeling of freedom and incredible fullness!
Everything was perfect, a good balance between family cruising and sailing for learning to sail, and all in a good mood.
Lionel is always in a good mood, very human and understands everyone's needs well by adapting with a smile. Life on board is always very easy and relaxed with him, he clearly has a great sailing experience
We spent 3 days on board a beautiful 13mLionel sailboat, our skipper, was very attentive and was able to combine learning with relaxation. He adapted the itinerary to best satisfy our desires, while taking into account the weather and the direction of the wind. We were able to experience different types of sailing, from the calmest all sails outside, to the most sporty, with a sailboat that is listing!!!.. In 3 days, we only used the engine to get out of the port or anchorage. What a pleasure to sail to the sound of waves and wind, I highly recommend this adventure
Skipper who is very attentive, professional and confident.
a very big disappointment for this cruise which has been expected and prepared for more than a year for my husband's 40th birthday
without comment!!!!!!!
