Why should you charter a yacht in France with a skipper?

It is possible to book a boat rental in France with or without a skipper. A captain will be able to guide you to the best spots in the country, many of which are hidden or inaccessible by land. On the other hand, it is also possible to hire a bareboat, with the condition of holding a valid license for the vessel. This is perfect for those who wish to explore France with complete freedom and by planning their own itinerary.

What do we offer in France?

Whether you are travelling by canal boat on the River Lot or on a luxury yacht charter in the French Riviera, we have a wide range of yachts available to charter in the country with a majority being able to hold up to 10 people onboard.

You also have the possibility of opting for a premium service, with an all-inclusive yacht charter in France. This includes a highly-trained crew who will be here to tend to all your needs including cleaning and dining. You will be sure to enjoy your boating holiday in France stress-free.

When should I hire a boat in France?

France’s central location at the heart of Western Europe means that you can visit the country all year round. Whether you fancy swimming in St. Tropez in spring, surfing in Arcachon in the summer, cruising the Canal du Midi in autumn or fishing in Saint-Malo in winter, one can never get bored in this beautiful country. July and August are the busiest months of the year but every region of France offers countless places to visit, away from the crowds!

What to do in France?

In 2022, France was the most visited country in the world and when you hire a boat here, you will understand why. The country boasts some of the most diverse landscapes in the world, with something for everyone. We have compiled a list of our favourite destinations to visit based on the region:

  • The glitzy South of France is highly worth visiting with your boat hire. The region of Provence is home to picturesque villages, scenic beaches and a plethora of natural beauty waiting to be discovered. In Marseille, we highly recommend visiting the stunning Calanques National Park, where you will be able to snorkel in the turquoise-blue waters. Further east along the coast lies the towns of St. Tropez and Cannes which are famous destinations among the French elite.
  • On the West coast of France, the landscape is less rugged than in the south but is home to some of Europe’s biggest sand dunes. The striking Dune du Pilat near the town of Arcachon offers some of the country’s best sunset views. Along the long sandy Atlantic beaches, it is also possible to surf.
  • In the North, you can enjoy sailing a yacht along the stunning coast of Britany, known for its many islands and fishing villages. If you travel towards Normandy, you will find the iconic Mont Saint Michel and the Etretat cliffs.
  • France is also home to many canals and rivers which are excellent for hiring a boat. In the southwest of the country, you can charter a houseboat along the Canal du Midi, the country’s longest canal and an impressive piece of engineering. In the southeastern city of Lyon, you can hire a RIB and cruise along the Rhone, admiring the sites of France’s third-largest city.
