Departing from Port du Niel in Hyères, Passion Med organises catamaran outings between the Giens peninsula and Porquerolles. The crew, which includes marine biologists, combines sailing, discovery of the marine environment and swimming stops in the waters around the îles d’Or.
Which trip length should you choose?
In 2026, Passion Med offers several durations: a 2-hour discovery trip outside peak season, half-day and full-day options, and sunset cruises in July and August. Routes head towards Porquerolles, with anchoring stops varying according to the package and sailing conditions.
What can you do at anchoring stops?
Depending on the trip, the catamaran provides paddleboarding and snorkelling equipment, with swimming breaks. The team also raises awareness of Mediterranean wildlife and plant life, drawing on its marine biology training.
What to know before visiting
Departures are from Port du Niel on the Giens peninsula. The Te Mahana catamaran carries up to 18 passengers. Passion Med recommends booking ahead, especially in high season, and may change or cancel a trip for technical or weather-related reasons.
The added attraction is the nature-focused aspect: the outing to Porquerolles is also a chance to better understand the local marine ecosystem.
