The route
The coast, bay by bay
West to the Îles d'Hyères — around 35 nautical miles to Porquerolles National Park and its turquoise coves.
We can run it as one long day with the wind behind us, or draw it out over a cruise with nights at anchor. The stops are yours to choose; we hold the helm and the timing.

Good to know
The day, plainly
Yes, in good conditions — it is a long, full day under way with brief stops. Many prefer to spread it over a short cruise with a night at anchor; we advise on what suits your party.
The small harbour at Porquerolles takes limited traffic and fills quickly in summer, so we normally anchor off Plage Notre-Dame or in one of the calanques and go ashore by tender. Anchoring inside the national park is regulated — the crew knows where it is permitted.
Of course. Antibes, Cannes, Villefranche or a longer swim at the Lérins — the route is a suggestion. Tell us what you'd like to see and we shape it around the sea.
On quote. Distance, yacht, season and any berthing all factor in, so we price each itinerary individually — clearly and in full before you confirm.
