In Sanary-sur-Mer, Cigno Nero offers private skippered outings aboard a restored traditional wooden sailing boat moored at quai Charles-de-Gaulle. Trips focus on sailing, anchoring, meals aboard and swimming along the Var coastline.
Which option should you choose in 2026?
The sailing boat is hired privately for groups of 6 to 20 people. The main option is a full-day trip with sailing, an aperitif, a meal featuring local produce and seafood, swimming and snorkelling. A sunset regional wine-tasting option is also available.
How far can you sail?
Trips may follow the coast between Le Brusc and La Ciotat. On request, longer voyages can also be arranged towards the Calanques de Cassis or Porquerolles.
An extra touch
The Cigno Nero is a wooden sailing boat dating from the 1960s, restored by its captain. Those who wish can help the skippers with sailing manoeuvres rather than simply watching.
What about larger groups?
The operator also offers the ILYAKA catamaran, available for private hire for up to 30 people, with departures possible from Le Brusc, Sanary, Six-Fours or the Embiez.
What makes this experience distinctive is its entirely private format, built around sailing and time spent aboard rather than a timed sightseeing circuit.
