Features of yachting in France
The weather in the waters of the French Mediterranean coast is more than favorable, these picturesque places are dominated by subtropical climate with mild and wet winter, hot and dry summer.
Yachting along the French Riviera is easy to navigate and therefore ideal for beginners. The yachting infrastructure is well developed in France, with comfortable marinas with everything you need scattered along the Cote d'Azur. You can also stay overnight on a rental yacht in one of the many sheltered bays for anchorage.
At the height of summer, an army of sailing enthusiasts gathers along the French coastline. For those who prefer a quieter environment, the May or September offshore practice will be acceptable, when the influx of tourists is slightly reduced. The deep fall, winter and early spring on the French Mediterranean coast are considered low season because of the piercing mistrales.
Note that during the high season, which lasts from mid-July to late August, not only the marinas are overcrowded, but also the anchorages, so we recommend booking in advance. As for holiday conditions on the Cote d'Azur, there are no complaints. The Mediterranean coast of France has endless sandy beaches, the cleanest warm sea, modern marinas and unique coastal architecture.
Rent a yacht with or without a captain
To rent a small boat without a captain on the Mediterranean coast of France, you need a skipper's license recognized by the local authorities (certificate GIMS, IYT, RYA, ISSA, etc.). Such a license must be at least one person in your company. To rent a yacht with a skipper or an entire crew, identity documents are sufficient.
Renting a yacht, catamaran or a whole houseboat (houseboat) together with the crew for a whole week is a unique type of vacation, as for those who are used to bring from foreign trips the brightest impressions.
Vacation on a yacht in France is the best alternative to a traditional liner cruise on the Mediterranean Sea. Choosing a charter program, you get limitless freedom and unique emotions. Only during the sea voyage you can appreciate all the natural and architectural splendor of the French Cote d'Azur.
Marinas and yachting routes
In the Mediterranean France there are two regions: the mainland coast with the adjacent small islands and the island of Corsica which has a special status.
The French Cote d'Azur, which stretches along the Mediterranean Sea from the resort of Saint-Tropez to the border with Italy, is an iconic place for foreign tourists. Nice, Cannes, Saint Raphael, San Remo, the Principality of Monaco - these and other luxury resorts of the French Riviera are annually visited by thousands of celebrities and fans of premium yachting.
However, true yachtsmen appreciate and love these places not for the opportunity to be a part of the bohemia. The Cote d'Azur gives a much more bright and unforgettable experience of contact with pristine nature, because the true beauty of the Mediterranean lies far away from the well-trodden paths of millions of tourists.
A week-long yachting itinerary from Toulon (Port Pin Rolland) is very popular with yachtsmen from all over the world. It is the second largest port in France, located on the west side, not far from Marseille. In 7 days of sailing, you can make an extensive tour of the Côte d'Azur with anchorages in marinas such as:
