Details:
Join us for seven unforgettable days sailing the French Riviera, from Toulon to Cannes, where dramatic coastline, turquoise anchorages, and Mediterranean charm meet life under sail. This trip blends coastal cruising with the elegance and natural beauty of the Côte d’Azur, moving between quiet calas, island reserves, and iconic harbor towns.
Departing Toulon, we’ll explore the rugged cliffs and protected bays of the Var coastline before sailing east toward the legendary ports of the Riviera. Expect clear water, warm sun, lively waterfronts, and peaceful anchorages tucked between pine-covered hills. Each day brings a new stretch of coastline to discover, whether that’s snorkeling off the stern, walking cobbled streets ashore, or enjoying long dinners on deck as the sky turns gold.
This passage is designed to offer the full Mediterranean cruising experience: relaxed mornings, purposeful sailing in reliable sea breezes, and evenings immersed in the culture and beauty of southern France. You’re welcome to take part in sail handling, helming, and route planning, or simply settle into the rhythm of life aboard as the coastline unfolds around you.
By the time we arrive in Cannes, with its historic old port and vibrant promenade, you’ll have experienced the Riviera the way it was meant to be seen, by sea.

This is Mediterranean cruising at its finest. Sail as much or as little as you like, take the helm, help trim sails, and learn coastal navigation techniques, or relax into the rhythm of life aboard.
Expect warm water swims, coastal walks, and lively evenings in historic ports. The pace balances exploration and ease, giving you time to truly absorb the beauty of southern France while enjoying the comfort and performance of a modern cruising catamaran.
