Port Vauban is a well sheltered and quiet marina in the heart of the French Riviera. Thanks to its many cameras and its security guardst present 24/7, it is also very secure option for wintering.
Antibes is located in the heart of the French Riviera and featuring mild temperatures throughout the winter (more than 300 days of sunshine per year). Port Vauban is located close to the charming old town and its many shops and restaurants.
Located between sea and mountains, Antibes has incredible charm and is a gateway to visit the region!
Spending your wintering in Port-Fréjus means enjoying a quiet marina, maintained daily (quays, slipway and amenities) and featuring a team attentive to its yachtsmen, providing a service 7 days a week and 24 hours a day. The Base Naturelle François Léotard is a stone’s throw from the port, with its natural spaces and the possibility of practicing many sports activities. In winter on the Mediterranean coast, the weather is mild, the mimosas are in bloom and color the hikes of the Massif de l’Estérel. The tourist places are easily accessible: the center of Fréjus, Saint-Raphaël, or the famous Saint-Tropez avoid the euphoria of summer at this time. Finally, the port continues to live out of season thanks to the many activities that can be undertaken on site.
