THE SAILING AREA
Departure and destination is the marina La Favière in Bormes-Les-Mimosas, centrally located on the south coast of the French Riviera between Hyères and St Tropez. It is an excellent starting point for memorable sailing trips, from leisurely day trips to longer windier passages.
Berths and anchorages are available in sheltered bays, characterful fishing harbours and stylish marinas. Particularly in the marinas, perfect infrastructure with all supply facilities for sailors is provided.

Bormes-Les-Mimosas is a village of flowers. The old town sits high above the harbour and offers wonderful views of the Golden Islands, giving a foretaste of the sailing trip. Small squares with fountains, leafy lanes with narrow passages and covered arcades are definitely worth a visit on the first or last day.

The picturesque Îles d'Hyères – also called Îles d'or – three islands named Île du Levant, Port-Cros and Porquerolles, lie just a few nautical miles from the departure harbour. Here you immerse yourself in an idyllic holiday paradise from the very first day of sailing and enjoy the beautiful beaches in a peaceful anchorage whilst swimming and snorkelling.

Picturesque harbour towns with evocative names lie further west. Sanary-sur-Mer – renowned literary exiles found inspiration and a second home here. Bandol has a well-sheltered harbour and the highly prized red wine of the same name, whilst the port town La Ciotat is known for its beautiful beaches.

In stark contrast to the stylish, fully developed tourist harbours are the Calanques, long narrow fjord-like inlets with rugged limestone cliffs and wild romantic beauty. In the country's newest national park, which also encompasses part of the sea, dolphins, sea turtles and rare seabirds make their home. You can drop anchor everywhere and swim or snorkel. For those brave enough, there are cliff faces to jump from into the crystal-clear water.

On the return journey to the home harbour you pass the fortress of Bregancon – summer residence of the French President – at Cap Blanc. The bay offers not only idyllic anchorages but also a beautiful bathing beach.
East of the home harbour lie harbour towns with a pulsating atmosphere. St. Tropez is quickly reached and the noble cities of Cannes and Monaco are also within range.

The prevailing sailing wind in summer, under azure skies, is a regular thermal pattern that can develop into a strong breeze. It is pleasant that this sea breeze only begins in the morning and dies down in the evening hours. Occasionally the mistral brings more forceful winds, in fine weather from northerly to westerly directions.

Water temperature 21-24°C
Air temperature avg. 23-28°C

LIFE ON BOARD
The French Riviera captivates not only with its diversity but also with its ideal wind conditions for beginners and families.

At the start of the holiday, provisions are bought collectively and the rough sailing route is planned. Your skipper keeps the wishes of all crew members, young and old, in mind whilst also taking into account wind, weather and organisational matters. However, the wind is rarely precisely predictable and the freedom of sailing consists largely in allowing oneself to be carried along by it as the mood takes you. The route can therefore always be adapted at short notice.

From the kitty, which is set up at the beginning, all ongoing trip expenses and provisions on board are paid.

On Sunday morning it's time: Cast off and away we go!

Should the minimum number of participants not be reached, the tour operator may cancel the trip in accordance with the law (see also Terms and Conditions, point 4) up to 29 days before the start of the trip.

Yacht details are examples. We swap depending on demand!
