In a few words

Just a 20-minute ferry ride from La Tour Fondue and barely an hour by sailboat from the charming town of Hyères, Porquerolles reveals itself as a pristine island, a true haven of nature . Here, asphalt is scarce, cars are virtually absent, giving way to a welcoming, typical village nestled amidst lush vegetation, bordered by beaches and coves with sublime turquoise waters . It's the perfect place to recharge, disconnect from daily life, and experience a moment suspended in time. From its small port, nearly 51 kilometers of marked hiking trails and four cycling routes await you . Your stay will unfold according to everyone's desires, whether sailing, hiking, or mountain biking. Porquerolles thus offers the ideal opportunity to reconnect with nature and to live a unique experience between land and sea, spending your nights on a sailboat that will transform into a mobile guest room for the duration of your stay.

The highlights

  • A sailboat as mobile accommodation
  • Meeting a local boater: your host
  • The "land-sea" mix

Most of them consist of two double cabins (for two people) and a saloon, the central social space on the boat. They are also equipped with a kitchenette, a bathroom, and a toilet.

Each of our boating hosts is selected by our partner's team and is committed to giving you a proper welcome aboard their boat. They are true ambassadors of their sailing area and will help you plan your stay to suit your exploration desires.

Feeling the wind on your face, the sun on your skin, the sailboat gliding across the sea, admiring the stars through the porthole, the moon, the light from the Porquerolles lighthouse, the reflections on the water, the depth of the landscapes and the vastness of the sea, listening to the cicadas, the creaking of the boat, the lapping of the waves, savoring a coffee, then a second, a pastis, then another... waiting for sunrise or sunset, and always being amazed by the beauty of the world, learning nautical terms and discovering the connection between the wind, the sea, and humankind, walking, swimming, and feeling alive, not setting an alarm, not setting reminders, taking the time, letting it slip away, catching up with it... It was simple, joyful, warm... perfect. For us, it was a truly unique moment of happiness: a few days suspended, outside of time... Thank you to our skipper, Philippe!

My stay went very well. The organization and communication were perfect. Our boatman was available and responsive throughout the trip, guiding us according to our wishes. We spent two days in Porquerolles and two days in Port-Cros, as planned. Hiking, cycling, paddleboarding, snorkeling (lots of it!), sunrises and sunsets, gazing at the starry sky with or without binoculars. Moreover, the weather conditions were ideal. I feel lucky that everything came together for an unforgettable stay! Total disconnection
