Ursa is a 2023 Hanse 348 sailboat based in Cogolin, a charming Provençal village on the Côte d'Azur where the Maures meet the Mediterranean. This 10.4-metre sailing yacht offers the perfect balance of modern comfort and authentic cruising, ideal for couples, small families, or groups of friends seeking a week of genuine exploration along France's most storied coastline. From her home berth at Les Marines de Cogolin, you'll have immediate access to the Îles d'Hyères, the Porquerolles archipelago, and the hidden anchorages that define this corner of the French Riviera.

The yacht's thoughtful layout accommodates six guests across two comfortable cabins, with a well-appointed galley and a single head that keeps everything functional and intimate. On deck, a bimini provides welcome shade during the heat of the day, while the cockpit speakers set the mood for evening aperitifs as you swing at anchor. The swimming platform and included dinghy open up access to secluded coves and shallow-water exploration that larger vessels cannot reach—a genuine advantage when seeking those quiet moments away from busier anchorages.

Ursa handles beautifully under sail, and her bow thruster, GPS chartplotter, and autopilot mean that both experienced sailors and those newer to bareboat chartering will feel confident at the helm. A modest outboard motor provides reassurance in light winds or tight harbour approaches. The refrigerator keeps provisions fresh through the week, allowing you to shop local markets in Cogolin, Hyères, or the island villages and cook aboard when the mood strikes.

A typical week unfolds at a leisurely pace: morning swims in crystalline water, lazy lunches in working fishing villages, and sunsets anchored off pine-clad shores where the only sound is the gentle clink of halyards. Whether you're sailing to Porquerolles for its white-sand beaches, exploring the Îles du Levant, or simply island-hopping between quiet anchorages, Ursa provides the freedom and comfort to experience the Mediterranean on your own terms.
