Cavalaire. The bay that faces the islands.

Pricing, no surprises.
Fixed prices for 1 to 12 guests. Included: captain, fuel, insurance, port fees.
Sheltered bay, open sea.
Cavalaire-sur-Mer sits at the southern end of the Golfe de Saint-Tropez, facing the Îles d'Hyères across open water. Its 4-km sandy beach and south-facing bay make it the most weather-protected departure point on the Var coast. The Port de Cavalaire has 1,240 berths and is the closest mainland port to Porquerolles — 12 nautical miles versus 18 from Toulon.
The shortest crossing to the Îles d'Hyères.
Cavalaire is the closest mainland port to Porquerolles and Port-Cros. 35 minutes to the national park, half the time from Toulon. The water turns Caribbean-clear halfway across.
Sheltered bay, reliable departures.
The Baie de Cavalaire faces south and is protected from the mistral by the Cap Lardier headland. We operate in conditions that close Saint-Tropez.
Family-friendly, without compromise.
Cavalaire is a real family resort — wide sandy beach, shallow water, no nightclub noise. Our boats are the same: enclosed cabin, child-safe, captain briefed on families.
