Cabotage, coastal cruises and boat trips on the Mediterranean

Thanks to its jagged coastline and 5 islands (Les Îles d'or in Hyères: Porquerolles, Port-Cros and Le Levant, l'île des Embiez in Six-Fours-Les-Plages, l'île de Bendor in Bandol), the Var is an ideal destination for coastal cruises and boat trips on the Mediterranean. Coves, beaches, islands and shelters offer landscapes as varied as they are admirable. There are plenty of shelters where you can organise a cruise lasting a week or more. From Toulon to Saint-Raphaël, the Var department offers access to the Mediterranean, so you can enjoy your holiday by boat, motorboat or sailboat.
