Next September we're taking the crew to the Côte d'Azur. We'll be chartering a 42' catamaran out of Saint-Mandrier, near Toulon, for a week of Mediterranean sailing — seaside towns, great food, anchorages in the national parks, and some scuba diving along the way. We're weighing two route options: heading east toward Saint-Tropez, or west toward Marseille and the calanques. Either way, expect a mix of lively port towns and quiet nights on the hook.
The route is still being finalized — we're deciding between an eastern loop toward Saint-Tropez and a western loop toward Marseille. The full day-by-day itinerary with distances and sailing times will be posted here once it's locked in.
We're chartering a 42-foot catamaran through PPR Charters out of Saint-Mandrier. Photos and the cabin layout will be posted here once the boat is confirmed.
The full packing list will be posted here closer to the trip. The usual rules apply: soft luggage only, swim and snorkel gear, a jacket for evenings on the water, and reef-safe everything. The FAQ covers the rest.
The trip will be a blast and we aren't expecting to have any major issues arise. Those of you who have already joined us on one of our sailing adventures know what to expect. Those of you who are new, please take the time to go over the links below:
