Dein Boot, Deine Crew, Deine Regeln – bei einem privaten Segeltörn entscheidest Du, wie Dein Abenteuer aussieht! Gestalte deinen individuellen Törn und genieße Freiheit auf dem Wasser !
The route shown is a suggestion based on optimal conditions. The final route is decided daily by the crew together with the skipper - depending on weather, wind, crew wishes and current conditions. This makes every trip an individual adventure!
Little by little, your crew checks in on the yacht. You traveled to Toulon yourself. Everything went well. You are looking forward to your sailing vacation in France. It is early afternoon, between 2 and 4 p.m. The sun is shining. Together, you set off to buy food for the next week. You have discovered a nice restaurant at the harbor for tonight. You enjoy the delicious French cuisine. Bon appétit!
"Cast off!" After a short start, you will reach Île de Porquerolles. It is the largest island in the Hyères archipelago, one of the most beautiful on the coast. On the north side, you will anchor the yacht in a bay. "How about a mountain bike tour?" Together with a few other active travelers, you will explore the island's beauty – past olive groves and romantic, secluded bays.
After lots of fun swimming at the sandy beach, you sail to Le Lavandou. From there, you take a minibus to the famous flower village of Bormes-les-Mimosas. The old village is located on a steep slope. You sit down in a café for a pastis. Then you stroll through the blossoming alleys with their arts and crafts boutiques. Before returning to the yacht, you enjoy the view across the bay to the offshore islands.
Today you will sail into the bay of St. Tropez. After taking the water taxi from Port Grimaud to St. Tropez, you can enjoy a cappuccino while admiring the mega yachts in the former fishing village. And because the water taxi is so much fun, you'll zip through the canals of Port Grimaud—affectionately known as the Venice of France—in your own dinghy. If you feel like it, you can go dancing.
From Port Grimaud, you will sail to the bay at Cap Taillat: enjoy some fun sailing in the Gulf of St. Tropez and then head to Pampelonne Beach. Three hours of sunbathing – that's enough! Take the dinghy to the bar "Kon Tiki," which is definitely worth a visit. In historic fishermen's houses, you will be served a delicious cocktail and grilled fish in a South Sea atmosphere. In the evening, you will anchor in the double bay at Cap Taillat.
Today, you set sail for the Ile de Port-Cros nature reserve: the island is one of the most beautiful far and wide and is only a short sail away. Some of your fellow sailors stretch their legs on shore, while others head to the diving station for an underwater adventure. You prefer to explore the island and are overwhelmed by its wild beauty. You enjoy a sundowner in a bar.
Your sailing vacation slowly takes you from Ile de Port-Cros back to Toulon – past the island of Porquerolles, where you stop for a swim. The island is one of the lesser-known beauties of the Mediterranean. That's fine, you think to yourself, happy with your lovely spot on the beach. On the way to Toulon, you think back wistfully on your sailing trip along the Côte d'Azur.
You arrived at the starting and finishing port of Toulon on Friday between 3 and 6 p.m. You're ready to go, because you packed your bags yesterday. On your sailing charter, you experienced French flair and spectacular nature. Simply brilliant! And that's despite the fact that sailing in France was your first sailing event ever. Good job, sailwithus crew! You're already looking forward to your next sailing vacation and leave the yacht well rested by 9 a.m.
