In a few words

Set sail for a weekend of dedicated sailing in the Mediterranean, combining the pleasure of sailing with active participation in scientific programs . Guided by an experienced skipper , you will become an active participant in the protection of the marine environment , contributing to rigorous observations of algae , fish , sea turtles , cetaceans , and floating debris , including abandoned fishing gear .

The data collected, according to recognized protocols, feeds into the Obsenmer , Fish&Click and Phenomer databases, which are true tools for monitoring the health of the coastline.

"Observe and understand in order to better protect" takes on its full meaning here.

At sea, you will learn to recognize different species, understand their behavior, and may even have the chance to spot the fin whale or the sperm whale , majestic giants of the deep. The most common sightings, striped dolphins (Stenella) , often accompany the boat, providing unforgettable moments of observation.

A responsible adventure, blending education, science and emotions , in close proximity to nature.

The highlights

  • Exceptional geographical location - Presence of large cetaceans
  • Sailing in fine weather, good visibility and calm seas
  • 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 gesture.

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.
