overview
Porquerolles is a preserved island off the coast of Hyères in southern France, recognised for its protected marine environment and regulated access. Unlike high-traffic Riviera destinations, Porquerolles prioritises natural landscapes, limited development, and controlled yachting activity. A Porquerolles yacht charter is typically structured as a day escape or calm extension within a French Riviera itinerary. The destination appeals to guests seeking clarity of water, space at anchor, and a quiet Mediterranean setting.

Nature-Led Day Charters
Charters around Porquerolles are built around minimal movement and extended anchoring. Yachts approach designated zones and remain stationary for long periods. The experience centres on swimming, floating, and relaxing on board. Noise and traffic remain limited due to local regulation.
Clear-Water Anchoring and Swimming
Porquerolles is known for its water quality and seabed visibility. Guests swim directly from the yacht in sheltered bays. Paddleboards and light water activities suit the calm conditions. Time is structured around water access rather than shore programs.
Slow Coastal Cruising
Navigation around the island remains measured and controlled. Short coastal passages reveal varied shoreline and shallow coves. The pace remains intentionally slow. This suits guests looking to disconnect from busier Riviera routes.
