In a few words

Embark on a 5-day sailing cruise departing from Fréjus , combining introductory lessons, advanced training , and the sheer joy of sailing . This course, led by a professional skipper certified by the French Sailing Federation (FFV), invites you to discover the wonders of the French Riviera from the sea, in a friendly atmosphere accessible to all levels.

On either side, spectacular scenery awaits: the red cliffs of the Esterel Massif , the legendary Bay of Saint-Tropez , and the wild headlands of Camarat, Taillat, and Lardier. Sail to the heart of the Port-Cros National Park , a true marine sanctuary, and explore the Îles d'Or (Golden Islands ): Port-Cros , Porquerolles , and Île du Levant , with charming stopovers and secluded anchorages.

Evenings can be enjoyed in authentic ports such as Cavalaire-sur-Mer , Le Lavandou or Hyères , or in the heart of nature during wild anchorages in Brégançon or in the isolated coves of the islands.

A salty journey where sailing becomes a way of life , carried by the wind and encounters.

The highlights

  • Exceptional geographical location - Wild landscapes of nature reserves
  • A body of water protected by islands and headlands - Welcoming and comfortable sheltered harbors
  • Departure port in Fréjus served by train and bus - Airports of Nice or Hyères

Security

Safety is a constant concern. Wearing a sports bra is a natural thing to do.

Accepted, from beginner to the most experienced skipper. Thus, the skipper is able

to appreciate the need to wear the vest.

Each cruise begins with a reminder of the safety rules which allows you

to learn or refresh your memory of essential skills. The skipper is capable of

to adapt the program according to the weather.

The organization fulfilled its mission perfectly. Organization, accommodation, teaching skills, and technical expertise were all excellent. We spent five days in a stunning location, in complete safety and in a dynamic and supportive atmosphere. Respect to our coach for his kindness and expertise. I didn't expect to learn so much in such a short time.

My third sailing course and it was by far the best! Stéphane is an excellent sailing instructor, very patient and skilled at teaching, but he also knows how to challenge us to help us improve! He's also incredibly friendly and a fantastic cook (big shout-out to the sausage rougail)!! The boat is amazing! Super spacious and very well designed!
