Route du Sud

About

Route du Sud stands as Hyères’ premier specialist in motorboat and sailboat rentals, operating from the heart of the French Riviera’s bustling Port of Hyères since 1990. Boasting a fleet that ranges from lightweight Jeanneau open‑coats to robust Salpa semi‑rigids and Zodiac launches, the company offers guests the freedom to explore the stunning Iles d’Orange—Porquerolles, Port Cros and Brégançon—at their leisure. With a family‑friendly team that welcomes visitors between 8:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., Route du Sud ensures a smooth hand‑over, providing all‑necessary safety equipment, VHF, GPS and a complimentary “douchette” for a refreshing soak after a day at sea. Beyond basic rentals, Route du Sud provides bespoke navigation ideas curated by local experts. Whether you wish to trek the rugged coast of Porquerolles, unwind on Port Cros’ pristine beaches, or enjoy a leisurely cruise around Brégançon’s historic forts, the company’s itinerary suggestions help you make the most of the Mediterranean’s crystal waters while staying well within the 15‑mile navigation radius from the harbor. All boat returns are scheduled for 6:00 p.m. with fuel topped off by the customer, simplifying the end of day process. Safety remains a top priority. Every vessel is fully insured, equipped with depth sounders, automatic identification system, and a “taud” (anchor watch) apparatus to secure your launch. Local residents and tourists alike value Route du Sud for its excellent customer service, reliability and the peace of mind that comes with a professional, fully‑certified crew. Whether you’re planning a day of discovery or a longer excursion, Route du Sud offers the tools, expertise and friendly guidance necessary to experience the French Riviera’s coastline in unforgettable style.
