Boat charter in French Riviera (Côte d'Azur) · Elba 45 in Hyeres — “Ozea” — (2025)

Hyeres sits at the gateway to France's most prized sailing grounds, and Ozea puts you there with everything a group or family needs for a week exploring sheltered bays and island anchorages. This 2025 Fountaine Pajot Elba 45 holds four cabins and four en-suite bathrooms, meaning no sharing and genuine privacy for up to eight guests. The layout flows naturally from the generous saloon through wide doors to a cockpit designed for both sailing and socialising, with trampolines stretching across the bows—perfect for morning coffee or afternoon reading while anchored in crystalline water. Two hulls change how a catamaran lives at sea. Ozea sits rock-steady at anchor, essential when you're moored for days in a bay without swinging. The shallow draft lets you glide into tight spots where monohulls cannot reach, opening access to beaches and small harbours tucked behind sandbars. Down below, the wide cabin spaces and uncluttered saloon feel generous because the twin hulls create genuine room; no cramped compromises. Sailing feels effortless with minimal heel, and whether you're motor-sailing into a headwind or drifting under canvas, the boat responds with predictable, controllable performance. From Hyeres, a week's cruising sweeps you through the Îles d'Hyeres, along the Côte d'Azur, and into quiet anchorages where the only sounds are water and wind. The Elba 45 moves at a natural pace—fast enough to cover ground, slow enough to notice everything. Bareboat charter means you steer the itinerary, anchor where you choose, and make Ozea truly yours for the week.
