Grelots is a 2021 Nautitech 40 Open catamaran based in Hyères, perfectly positioned for exploring the crystalline waters of the French Riviera and the Îles d'Hyères. This spacious four-cabin catamaran accommodates up to eight guests across its twin hulls, offering the stability and comfort that makes bareboat and crewed charters so appealing to families, groups of friends, and couples seeking a week of Mediterranean sailing. The wide beam and clever layout create generous communal spaces—ideal for morning coffee in the cockpit or evening aperitifs as the sun dips toward the Maure Massif.

A week aboard Grelots typically unfolds between the protected anchorages of Porquerolles, Port-Cros, and the quieter coves dotting the Îles d'Hyères. The catamaran's dual 21 hp engines and responsive helm make navigating these shallow-draft passages effortless, while the lazy jacks and lazy bag system keep sail handling straightforward—even for those new to bareboat sailing. Solar panels supplement your power, and the two heads with electric toilets ensure comfort for the full party. Refrigeration keeps provisions fresh for simple galley meals or impromptu beach picnics.

The open-plan saloon and cockpit flow seamlessly, with comfortable cushions ideal for lounging between swims. Whether you're anchoring off white-sand beaches, exploring the pine-fringed villages of the islands, or enjoying fresh seafood at waterfront restaurants in Hyères, the catamaran's stability and shallow draft open up anchorages larger monohulls cannot reach. The autopilot takes the strain on longer passages, leaving you free to appreciate the coastline or simply relax on deck.

Imagine your week: mornings swimming in turquoise shallows, afternoons drifting between islands, and evenings anchored in perfect solitude as the Mediterranean turns rose and gold, the gentle lap of water against the hulls your only soundtrack.
