Sunset dinner cruise Hyères: Fort de Brégançon & Bay of Leoube

Three and a half hours anchored in the Bay of Leoube, dinner served as the sky turns gold.

An evening catamaran cruise departing Hyères at 7:20 pm, sailing the Hyères coastline toward Fort de Brégançon before anchoring in the Bay of Leoube for dinner at sunset. The maxi-catamaran Iladora carries you past the fort's silhouette as daylight fades, then holds position in clear water where you can paddle, snorkel or simply watch from the deck. Aperitif, buffet dinner with wine, soft drinks and all gear are included. The crew handles the navigation and the music plays into the evening. Return to port around 11 pm.

The experience

You board at 7:20 pm at the port of Hyères Saint-Pierre, where the crew walks you through the evening's schedule and the catamaran's layout before casting off. The sail toward Fort de Brégançon takes about an hour, moving at an easy pace along the Hyères coast as the light shifts from gold to amber. The fort itself stays visible on the shoreline (a 17th-century stronghold rising from the water), but the real destination is the Bay of Leoube, where the catamaran drops anchor around 8:15 pm in water clear enough to see the bottom.

Once anchored, a planter punch aperitif arrives on deck while you settle in. The buffet dinner follows, laid out for you to eat facing the sea as the sunset deepens the sky. Wine is poured throughout. Soft drinks flow from a fountain on board. If you want to move, paddles and snorkeling kits sit ready: the water stays warm and the bay stays quiet. If you prefer to stay still, the bridge offers an uncluttered view of the stars as they emerge. A sound system plays ambient music, low enough that conversation carries. The catamaran weighs anchor around 10 pm for the return sail to Hyères, arriving back at the port by 11 pm.

The crew speaks English and French, and the evening runs the same way regardless of the season. Nothing costs extra once you board: no hidden charges, no upsell on the food or the drinks. The boat holds enough people to feel social without crowding the deck, and the anchorage in Leoube is exclusive to this operator, so the setting stays intimate even on a full evening.

Is this one for you?Book this cruise if you want a full evening out rather than a quick sunset sail. The three-and-a-half-hour span gives you time to settle into the boat, enjoy the sail, eat without rushing, and linger on the water after dark. The fixed departure at 7:20 pm works best if your accommodation or plans in Hyères allow an evening start.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What exactly is Fort de Brégançon and why does the cruise sail past it?

Fort de Brégançon is a 17th-century coastal fortress on the Hyères shoreline, visible from the water as the catamaran sails toward the Bay of Leoube. The cruise passes it during the approach, using it as a landmark and a visual anchor for the evening's route along the coast.

Can I swim or snorkel in the Bay of Leoube, or is it just for looking?

The Bay of Leoube is set up for both. Paddles and snorkeling kits are on board and free to use. The water is clear and shallow enough for either activity. Many passengers snorkel or paddle during the dinner stop, though sitting on deck and watching is equally valid.

What time does the cruise return to Hyères, and how long is the full evening?

Boarding starts at 7:20 pm and the catamaran returns to the port of Hyères Saint-Pierre around 11 pm, making the full outing roughly three and a half hours. The return sail happens under starlight, after dinner is finished.

Is the buffet dinner substantial, or more of a light appetizer spread?

The buffet is a full dinner, served as the main event of the evening. Wine is included throughout, and soft drinks flow from a fountain on board. No additional food or drink charges apply once you board.
