Charter a Yacht in Hyères
Hyères is one of the French Riviera’s best-kept secrets, boasting stunning scenery and incredible island hopping. Situated 20 minutes east of Toulon in France’s Var Department, it is the perfect French Riviera bareboat sailing holiday destination. Often referred to as Hyères-les-Palmiers due to its thriving palm tree industry, the area comprises 133 square kilometres of town and national parkland, including the islands of Ile du Levant, Port-Cros and breathtaking Porquerolles that can all be visited by bareboat sailing yacht or French Riviera crewed motor yacht.
Hyères has won awards in the Entente Florale Europe (European flower competition), due to its many beautiful parks which showcase unusual flora. Fig, peach, apricot, mulberry and olive trees can be found in the Botanical Museum of Porquerolles, while the Jardins du Park Hotel et du Casino is made up of beautifully manicured gardens. Perhaps most impressive is Le Parc St Claire, 6500 square metres of exotic gardens where many South American and Australian tropical species exist.
It is the ideal South of France destination to visit by private boat. Neighbouring towns include Toulon and St Tropez, perfect destinations for French Riviera day boat rentals or to be included on your French Riviera yacht charter itinerary.
