WHICH SAILBOAT TO RENT?
We too often forget to ask this simple question. Sailing is for some a passion, for others a way to share good times, for still others, it is the search for a change of scenery or a way to spend a family vacation.
The motivations are diverse and varied, but one thing is certain, when cruising, space and privacy are reduced. Long before choosing the right boat or sailing region for your next yacht charter, building a harmonious crew is the key to a successful cruise.

Often, this point is more the result of a compromise between distance from your home, interest, climate and budget.
Hyères with the proximity of the islands (Porquerolles, Port Cros, Île du Levant) offers an almost ideal starting point: Motorway, airport, station, numerous rental companies, but also a privileged climate with 300 days of sunshine per year, a thermal breeze of 10 / 15 Knots, or a Mistral which very often blows much less strongly than in Marseilles, a multitude of anchorages within half a day of navigation? In short, renting a sailboat in Hyères is the best!
Bormes les mimosas or Le Lavandou offer almost the same advantages, the charm of a port that lives all year round, or the service of a “very attentive” harbor master's office will more than compensate for the few additional kilometers. Once on the water, instead of being in front of Porquerolles, you are in front of Port Cros (Underwater National Park).

Without going to the tropics or to the other side of the world, Hyères and its islands (Porquerolles, Port Cros, Ile du Levant) certainly offer a concentrate of everything you are looking for for a successful cruise: prevailing winds, sunshine, superb landscapes, numerous anchorages, proximity, variety of points of interest, wild coast, well sheltered ports ...

As for renting a sailboat directly from a private individual, and despite the many internet portals (which play at war between them!), We cannot encourage you to do so. What will happen in the event of a claim? What will happen in the event of an oversight of Maritime Affairs? What will happen in the event of a failure? What will happen if the reserved boat is unavailable? What will happen in the event of bankruptcy on the website through which you made your reservation?

Focus on space? the number of toilets? the performance ? ease of maneuvering with the engine? comfort ? the size of the cockpit? steering wheel or tiller? spinnaker?

The outboard for the tender is often optional. Very useful, especially if you are going to Corsica where the berths in the port are limited.
The spinnaker option is more difficult to find. Even if you have few opportunities to use it, it is nevertheless a bubble of colors that will mark your cruise.
Bedding is rarely included in the rental rate.
End-of-stay cleaning is a great comfort. By subscribing to this option, you can save several hours of cruising… and under the Mediterranean sun, you will undoubtedly prefer a last anchorage and a little swim rather than an argument against a backdrop of thankless tasks!
The franchise buyout is an option not to be overlooked, especially if you are sailing with friends or with several families. ONETOSEA, rental and management of sailboats in Hyères, will guide you towards the best formula.
Cancellation insurance is often included if you pay your deposit by credit card. No need to pay 2 or 3% more for your sailboat rental.
A network of sectors for children? Having sailed with our boys very often, the only 100% effective measure is to wear a life jacket as soon as your offspring gets out of the car. Yes, yes, I did say the car! Just as much as in a boat, it is also (and above all) in the port that children should wear their life jackets.
Finally, in general, to estimate the cost of your stay in Hyères on a rental sailboat, you will have to take into account the cost of the rental, but also all the options, some of which may be "mandatory". , the journey, the parking, as well as any consumable packages.
