Sailing yacht Izenah III under sail along the Var coast

Boat Rental in Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer

A classic yacht, a skipper on board, no licence required

Renting a boat in Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer, here, means stepping aboard Izenah III, a classic 1970 sailing yacht — always with her skipper. No licence to show, no manoeuvres to master: the skipper sails, you enjoy the ride. Departures are from Port de La Madrague, a few minutes from the town centre. Depending on the package, trips last from 2h30 to a full day, in a small group or as a private charter for up to 10 guests. We head for Port d'Alon, the bay of La Moutte or Embiez, depending on the day's wind.
