Bootscharter in Frankreich · Bali 4.2 in Grimaud / Port Grimaud — “Matacena” — (2025)

Port Grimaud offers direct access to the Côte d'Azur's most sheltered cruising grounds, and Matacena—a 2025 Bali 4.2—positions you perfectly to make the most of them. From this medieval riverside base, you can reach the Îles d'Hyères within hours, then explore shallow anchorages and secluded beaches that larger monohull yachts simply cannot approach. Living aboard is thoughtfully arranged across two hulls. Four cabins with ensuite bathrooms mean each guest has genuine privacy and comfort, while the central saloon connects both hulls and opens onto a cockpit designed for group moments. Wide trampolines bridge the bows, offering a rare outdoor lounging space that becomes a favorite gathering spot, and the foredeck gives you genuine room to move. Ten berths in 12.85 metres may sound snug on paper, but the catamaran's width transforms the experience: the hull separation creates natural separation between social and private zones, and the shallower cabin headroom typical of this design never feels cramped because there's always space to spread horizontally. Two hulls deliver what matters most at anchor: stability that lets you relax in any swell, and a draft of just 0.85 metres to slip into bays and beaches. For a bareboat week, you gain a boat that handles easily under sail or engine, carrying enough water and fuel to cruise independently between Grimaud, the islands, and the Esterel coast. Whether you're a group of friends or two families splitting the cabin space, Matacena gives you both freedom and community.
