The French Riviera is the region of France that extends along the Mediterranean coast that leads from the Italian border to Saint Tropez, then becoming the piece of land that is called the Provence-Côte d'Azur region, reaching the city of Marseille. We usually associate the best known places with the Côte d'Azur, such as Nice, Menton and Cannes, but the territory extends not only along the coast, but also between small villages in the hinterland that are pure wonder and deserve to be visited. Selected catamarans and sailboats await you to sail to discover the Côte d'Azur, contact us for a personalized quote.

French Riviera, Porquerolles - ID 391 View More
This is an example itinerary suggested by the BeBlue skippers who are experts in the navigation area. The route can be planned on the needs of the group before departure or during navigation.
Day 1 - Check in
Check-in available from 17:00 at the embarkation Marina. After the technical check-in and a brief presentation of the boat, you can take a seat in the cabins and embark the galley before setting sail.
Day 2
Wake up and breakfast on board; the crew will have already let go of the moorings early in the morning hoisting the sails with a course towards Cap Taillat. It is a natural site near Ramateulle, this place represents an attraction for tourists passing through the region and is only three hours by boat from Port Grimaud. The stretch of path from Plage de l'Escalet to Cap Taillet, in the municipality of Ramateulle, in southern France, will allow you to go trekking surrounded by nature. In this piece of land there are numerous beaches, such as Plage de la Douane, and Plage Ranc.
Day 3
On the third day, just two hours by boat from Cap Taillet, you can reach Port-Cros. This island can only be visited on foot; with its 30 km of marked trails, the island will only amaze you if you make a series of stops to stop and admire its natural beauty. Among the many activities that this island offers us, the Port-Cros National Park has identified and equipped seven underwater trails, in many cases marked with buoys on the surface and illustrated with underwater descriptive panels.
Day 4
From Port-Cros, you will sail towards Porquerolles, the largest and westernmost island of the small archipelago of the Hyères Islands. Visiting it also means taking a step back in time, to a time when there were no motor vehicles on the streets. In Porquerolles, in fact, it is only allowed to move around by bicycle or on foot, but don't worry since the island measures just 7 kilometers long and 3 wide, and the roads are almost all shaded and surrounded by unspoiled nature. Along the road you will find small restaurants offering local food and fish such as "Le Pelagos" or "L'Alycastre".
Day 5
Wake up and breakfast on board surrounded by the colors and scents of the French seafront. Today we'll head to La Capte: a peaceful seaside district bordered by the Étang des Pesquiers, ancient salt marshes famous for their rich bird life such as flamingos and common avocets. The tree-lined streets lead to Plage de la Capte, a sandy beach surrounded by pine forests famous for its calm waters.
Day 6
Le Lavandou is an enchanting seaside resort with a Provençal flavor, famous for its 12 beaches, each one different but united by the wonderful crystalline sea. Fountains are found in every village in Provence. In Le Lavandou there are 14 of them, which give passers-by an entertainment show. Furthermore, every Thursday morning, all year round, one of the most beautiful markets in the area takes place in Le Lavandou. You will find fruit, vegetables, local products, flowers: each season colors the stalls of the Provençal market in a different way. A walk to the market is an unmissable experience, to experience an atmosphere full of the scents and flavors of Provence.
Day 7
After breakfast we weigh anchor en route to the last stop: the Baie de Canebiers, 200 meters long, is the favorite of the locals because it is easily accessible. Being very close to Saint-Tropez, it is only 4 km away, whoever wants can go as far as the well-known city, visit what is one of the main destinations on the Côte d'Azur by frequenting the best clubs on the seashore.
Day 8 - Check out
Disembarkation is scheduled for 09:00 on Saturday.

Day 2
Wake up and breakfast on board; the crew will have already let go of the moorings early in the morning hoisting the sails with a westerly course towards Saint-Maxime. Sainte-Maxime, located in the heart of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, is one of the favorite destinations on the Côte d'Azur, a haven of tranquility where you can stroll along the sea. A small paradise between land and sea, the city is home to many beaches where swimming, sunbathing and water sports come together in a family atmosphere. With its 11 km of coastline, this location is excellent for both families and groups of friends. There are also many agricultural estates in the area, ideal for taking advantage of them for a tasting of local wines.
Day 3
From Saint-Maxime, we will sail towards Théoule-sur-Mer, overlooking the gulf of Napoule, it is located east of the Esterel massif and its inhabitants are called Théouliens. Famous for its innumerable paths on which you can go trekking and long walks immersed in nature to go in company. After intense physical activity, we suggest you have lunch in one of the restaurants near the coast. Stop on the Corniche de l'Estérel within the "Pointe de l'Aiguille" park and take the time to discover the extraordinary spectacle offered by the meeting of red rocks plunging into a sea where blue and green are full of nuances according to the seasons.
Day 4
Wake up and breakfast on board surrounded by the colors and scents of the French seafront. After breakfast we will set off heading west and if the wind is right we will reach Cannes crossing the gulf of la Napoule, otherwise we will go ashore in one of the many fashionable seaside villages of the Côte d'Azur. Cannes is one of the main centers of the Côte d'Azur, a place known in particular for its Film Festival and its Palme d'Or, but the city is much more and hides an ancient soul that not everyone knows.
Day 5
From the marvelous Cannes, we set sail for a morning to be dedicated to a beautiful sail in the direction of Antibes. Antibes holds all the typical charm of the Côte d'Azur: an ancient and fascinating town, surrounded by fragrant Mediterranean scrub and framed by a crystalline turquoise sea. We will be able to walk inland to visit the colorful suburbs or sip an aperitif with a sea view. During the day, those who wish will have the opportunity to go as far as Nice, one of the most important cities on the French Riviera. It is a populous city, the fifth in France, with a characteristic historical centre, a beautiful square and an enviable seafront; in addition to the discos and clubs that enliven the night.
Day 6
From spectacular Nice, we will head to the Lerins Islands. Ile Sainte Marguerite is the largest of the archipelago but it is easy to walk around its entire perimeter with a nice walk. As soon as you get off the boat, take the road to the left and you will soon reach the fortress where you can visit the Sea Museum, the archaeological site and the aquariums. The walk will take you through the botanical path and before returning to the starting point again, the Batéguier pond, a wetland protected nature reserve rich in fauna.
Day 7
After breakfast we weigh anchor en route to the last stop: Saint Tropez. We could moor you in the beautiful little port or stay at anchor and go ashore to visit the beautiful town with its famous promenade. It will be the perfect opportunity to enjoy the pleasure of a dinner on land, savor the tasty French cuisine and enjoy the local nightlife. For sailing enthusiasts, there is the "Museum of Maritime History of Saint-Tropez". Located in the fortress of the Citadelle of Saint-Tropez, it offers one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the coast. The museum tells the story of when Tropezians traveled around the world.
Day 8: Check-out
Disembarkation is scheduled for 09:00 on Saturday.
The French Riviera is certainly an ideal destination for those who love the sea, the sun, beach life and nightlife with clubs and parties. But it is also a place capable of offering interesting itineraries: you can wander among the art galleries of the great Impressionist masters, characteristic villages full of charm and historic centers that oscillate between the elegance of the luxurious 1920s villas and medieval nuclei, immersed in a lush nature.
Nice is one of the most important cities on the French Riviera. It is a populous city, the fifth in France, with a characteristic historical centre, a beautiful square and an enviable seafront. There are many activities that can be carried out: visiting Place Massena, a recently renovated square, as large as it is beautiful. Passing from Place Massena to Place Garibaldi crossing the gardens of the Promenade Du Paillon. From Place Massena just turn towards the park where you will see many tourists and also local people having fun with the water fountains. Visit Old Nice, a complex of narrow streets where there are an innumerable series of craft shops, restaurants and small squares.
The Vieux Port is the ancient port of Cannes. It is located at the foot of the Suquet hill, which is the historic center of the city, and is partly bordered by the wonderful Boulevard de la Croisette. This is the right place to take a walk caressed by the sea breeze, or to stop in one of the many clubs and restaurants that mainly serve fish-based dishes. Another place not to be missed is La Boulevard, bordered by beautiful beaches on one side, the most famous of which is Croisette Beach, and luxury hotels, high fashion boutiques, clubs and restaurants on the other.
Antibes, a town that invites you to discover its alleys, its squares and its artisan shops, strolling without haste and lingering on the wonderful views overlooking the sea. Leaving the old town of Antibes and going towards Cap d'Antibes, you will find 2 long sandy beaches, Ponteil beach and Salis beach, ideal for children because of shallow waters. The Grimaldi Castle is one of the most important historic buildings in Antibes and one of the testimonies of the city's rich past. Throughout history, the Castle continued to change owners and its widespread use and after being transformed into barracks it also became an artistic laboratory for Pablo Picasso.
Saint-Tropez was once a village with timeless charm, but today it is home to yachts, luxury boats and influential artists. Saint-Tropez thus has a double soul: on the one hand its worldly vocation, on the other a beautiful town with a bell tower and a historic center of great charm. In addition to Place aux Herbes, a wonderful square in the historic centre, where you can enjoy the most authentic side of the town, it is certainly Place des Lices. It is located in the heart of the centre, further away from the old port, and is one of the most beautiful squares in Saint Tropez.
