Other sailing routes? Set sail to the stunning islands by Hyères, discover the Calanques national park, or even cruise around Billionaires' Bay.

This island encompassing the drastic landscapes of the sea and mountains attracts boaters year after year, from the newcomers to the biggest lover of Corsica.

When is the best time to sail in France?

The best time to sail in France is between April and October. If possible, avoid sailing during the months of July and August when tourist crowds are at their highest. The water temperature varies according to the region. In Brittany, it is usually in the 60's°F, while in the Mediterranean, the water is generally warmer, and in the mid 70's°F.

Which boat to rent in France?

Finding the ideal boat for your cruise is not always easy. Let us give you some tips on how to find the right type of boat according to your needs & desires.

Motorboat 

For day rentals, the motorboat is your go-to boat. Contrary to other sailboats and catamarans, renting a motor boat in France will give you access to many nautical leisure activities such as wakeboarding, tubing, etc. In addition, navigating by motorboat or RIB makes it easier to visit small magical creeks.

Sailboat

Ideal for sailing in all weathers, the sailboat is a sure value for a long cruise. The sailboat is the boat of choice for travelers seeking exploration. A sailboat rental is recommended for cruising along the French Riviera to Corsica or to enjoy the Breton coasts.

Catamaran

For a relaxing cruise with family or friends, we recommend the catamaran. A catamaran rental in France is ideal for typically accommodating a group of up to 12 people on board. For a relaxing cruise along the Mediterranean Sea, it is the most suitable boat as it will allow you to access unique and less accessible landscapes from the land.

Yacht

Yacht charter in France is a five-star option to enjoy maximum comfort on board during your cruise on the "French Riviera".

Houseboat

Finally, for a river cruise, houseboats prove to be the best choice. Embarking up to 12 people and acting as a floating hotel, the houseboat rental is perfect for slow life enthusiasts and very quiet navigation. Embark on a houseboat trip even if you don’t have a boat license, as there is a wide choice of boat rentals without a license on Click&Boat. Renting a houseboat is the best way to discover the Canal du Midi from Toulouse to Sète.
