Where to sail in the Var?

Boat rental in the Var allows many navigation routes.

As an example, here are two possible routes departing from Grimaud:

1) After having contemplated Sainte-Maxime, head towards the island of But going up the coast. Please note, this island is private and you will not be able to stop there. This islet is famous for its tower which stands on this piece of rock. Renting a boat in the Var is surely the best way to get as close as possible to this island which is full of stories... Then, by continuing to Théoule-sur-Mer, you may even be able to see the massif of the 'Estérel.

2) You can also leave the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and if you feel like it, hoist the sails to the famous island of Porquerolles. Beforehand, we advise you to make a stopover at Port Cros, an essential part of your navigation in the Mediterranean. This island is accessible by shuttle from Hyères, but what greater luxury than being able to get there freely by boat?
