Types of Boats Available for Rent

Choose the Perfect Boat for Your France Adventure

Motorboat

From €160 A motor boat can be arranged for anything from a few hours to a day or more. You might want a few hours on the bay with a skipper and crew to look after your needs, or a bareboat charter to explore the coastline as part of a longer land based holiday.

Sailboat

From €750 Whether a one week bareboat yacht charter or a longer crewed yacht charter, a sailing yacht is a fun way to choose your own adventure on French waterways. Spend time sailing between towns and anchorages as you explore the coastline and smaller islands off Cannes or Toulon.

Catamaran

From €1170 A catamaran luxury yacht charter will cost more than a monohull sailboat metre for metre, but there is so much more space. These luxury yachts are ideal for entertainment, perhaps moored at Saint Tropez as an afterparty venue. Whether a sailing yacht catamaran or motor yacht catamaran, expect luxury and comfort from the outset and in most cases, en suite bathrooms in all the cabins.

Motor Yacht

From €765 This could be a luxury crewed canal barge on the Loire Valley to taste fine wine and see the romantic rivers as the skipper and crew look after you. It could also mean a self drive boating holiday on the Canal de Bourgogne. Finally, it could mean a superyacht holiday with the skipper and crew tending to your every need.

Discover the Beauty of France by Boat

France has a wide variety of sailing destinations to enjoy. Here is a flavour of what you might do

Côte dAzur and French Riviera

Hit the fashionable resorts of Cannes, Saint Tropez and Antibes as you see and be seen on your luxury yacht charter. Your boat trip may be bareboat rental or with skipper and crew to guide you to your next destination. On a superyacht you might even wish to head east to the Italian Riviera but there's plenty to enjoy on the Mediterranean Coast.

Inland Waterways

A chance to see the French countryside at its best (and perhaps to take stories home of the empty villages), the inland waterways stretch right across the country. You won't always need a boating license to enjoy it either, doing a short test on navigating the waterways before you go. A crewed canal barge holiday can be arranged, perhaps exploring the larger waterways like the Seine and Loire with their distinct scenery.

Atlantic Coast

Spawning some of the world's best solo sailors, the Atlantic Coast of France can make for very challenging sailing. The beauty of Brittany and bustling marinas make for a great reward for that challenge!

La Manche

The French name for the ‘English Channel’, this is fun Northern European sailing. You can visit the Channel Islands (bring your passport!) and explore the cider country of Normandy.

River Seine

One of the busiest inland waterways of Europe, the Seine stretches from the Atlantic Coast to Paris and beyond, navigable all the way. A great way to see the French countryside, it is perhaps better to do this on a crewed barge thanks to the regulations on navigation.

Monaco

The principality of Monaco is a fashionable destination on the Côte d'Azur. Enjoy the glitz and glamour of the playground of the ultra rich and perhaps go for a sail down to nearby Nice.
