Yacht Charter France
The French sailing waters boast highly divers facets for Yacht Charter-Crews – the “Grande Nation” even comes up with three totally different Yacht Charter beats: Yacht Charter skippers set off on the Atlantic coast in Brittany, at the Channel Coast, in Charente-Maritime in the Bay of Biscay, on the French Riviera or from Corsica.
Yacht Charter France - Overbiew of the Yacht Charter regions
The Yacht Charter destination
French Riviera, which still is home to pretty little harbours and an enchanting backcountry, defiant of all the jet set, is equally popular among Yacht Charter sailors and motorboat cruisers. Since the French themselves also enjoy spending the summer on the yacht, you have the agony of the choices among many Yacht Charter bases. In the eastern part these Yacht Charter bases are above all Antibes, Argens, Cannes, Gogolon and Golfe-Juan, but also Monaco and Nice are qualified as a starting harbour for a Yacht Charter cruise. Westward you can find the bases of Yacht Charter companies and Yacht Charter fleets with many sailboats and sailing catamarans in Hyeres, Marseille or Port Pin Rolland. This is also the gateway to interesting sailing beats like the Languedoc-Roussillion with its etangs, the Camargue with its river delta and the Spanish Costa Brava.
High mountains, bays, steep coasts, macchia – the Yacht Charter destination
Corsica is extremely attractive scenically with its peeks rising up to 8.000 feet, wild west coast with craggy rocks, elemental north coast with glorious bays and dreamy harbour villages, and long beaches attract Yacht Charter crews in the Southwest. Most of the harbours and bays of interest during a Yacht Charter cruise lie on the east side und in the Strait of Bonifacio. In lots of villages Yacht Charter crews will find marinas perfectly equipped for Yacht Charter next to the old harbour for fishing and yachts.
Of all the Yacht Charter beats, it’s safe to say that
Brittany is the most demanding, given the tidal navigation and the weather situation. Lorient and Port de Crouesty, situated on the Gulf of Morbihan on the south coast of Brittany, are especially popular Yacht Charter bases.
Especially at the French Riviera you will find a wide range of Yacht Charter offers, sailing yachts, catamarans, motor yachts, power boats and luxury yachts with crew.
