From Bandol, we took advantage of the east wind to go to the Marseille islands; we anchored in a cove on Riou Island. Then, we left for the Hyères Islands on different anchorages. It is an easy and very pleasant navigation area which offers beautiful anchorages.

We had the most fantastic charter with Lionel! He is warm, kind, thoughtful and a top notch captain. He hosted us and our kids and it was seamless! The boat was very well equipped, and he was always willing to help, going above and beyond to ensure our holiday was exceptional. We would happily charter with him on the boat again soon! Highly recommend, dont hesitate!

superb, from start to finish Philippe was great. gave is a great introduction/ breifing with the boat, and some great tips for navigating the area. the boat was pristine, and very very well equipped. phillippe went above and beyond and came down to check the boat after we had already handed it back to him in the evening as we thought we had forgotten a bag on the boat.

Depuis Bandol, nous avons profité du vent d'est pour aller vers les îles marseillaises ; nous avons mouillé dans une anse de l'île Riou. Puis, nous sommes sommes partis vers les îles d'Hyères sur différents mouillage. C'est une zone de navigation facile et très agréable qui offre de beaux mouillages.
