From Hyères, Au fil de l’Étrave offers much more than simple boat chartering. We design seamless seaside holidays, filled with wonderful memories and complete peace of mind, for those who want to sail without compromising on quality, safety, or pleasure.
Located in one of the most beautiful cruising areas of the Mediterranean, our base is an ideal starting point to discover Hyères, Porquerolles, Port-Cros, and the entire Var coastline through coastal cruising, as well as to set course for Saint-Tropez, Cassis, or Corsica on longer, unforgettable voyages.
A carefully selected, modern and perfectly maintained fleet
Our fleet is designed to meet the expectations of a demanding clientele, with new or recent boats, extremely well maintained and fully equipped for your comfort and safety.
Step aboard monohull sailing yachts and catamarans from 35 to 60 feet, as well as a few carefully selected motor yachts: each boat is prepared, monitored, and maintained with the utmost care. Nothing is left to chance. You set sail on a reliable, clean, fully equipped vessel, ready to offer you a true moment of freedom.
Boat chartering, made simple
A weekend with friends, a family week, long summer holidays or off-season sailing: we adapt every departure to your project. Personalised advice, thorough briefings, responsive assistance, and follow-up throughout your cruise.
At Au fil de l’Étrave, chartering is not just an administrative formality; it is an experience supervised by professionals who know their boats and their sailing area inside out.
Each year, more than 250 departures are organised from Hyères. This operational experience is your best guarantee of a successful holiday.
From charter to ownership, WANTED!
Sailing through chartering is often the first step toward ownership. That is why Au fil de l’Étrave also supports acquisition projects, whether for strictly personal use or to integrate the boat into an efficient charter-management programme. Ask us for advice!
We are a Lagoon agent and a Bénéteau Sailing and Motor agent in Hyères (Océanis, First, Trawler, GT), with a clear and transparent approach: helping you choose the right boat, at the right time, for the right use. Charter, test, buy, sail, make it profitable: everything fits into a sustainable long-term strategy.
A committed, available and professional team
Behind every departure is a dedicated team. Diane, Sandrine, Sly, and all our collaborators share the same standards: availability, attentiveness, professionalism, and a strong sense of service. Here, you interact with professionals who sail, who know their boats, and who are genuinely committed to your holidays.
