The Atlantic Coast features a variety of boating areas, each with its own unique atmosphere. From Pornichet or Le Pouliguen, discover the coastline of the Guérande Peninsula. La Rochelle and Île d’Oléron bring you closer to the landscapes of the Pertuis Charentais, while Arcachon and Cap Ferret invite you to explore the Arcachon Bay.

Further east, the ports of Marseille, La Ciotat, and Bandol provide access to the Provençal coastline. Cannes, Golfe-Juan, and Saint-Raphaël open up other perspectives on the French Riviera. Choose your area to alternate between coastal cruises, swimming, and breaks at anchor—in authorized areas and when the weather permits.
Corsica can be explored from several home ports, each facing a different stretch of coastline. Ajaccio and Propriano offer access to the gulfs along the west coast.

These bodies of water offer opportunities to plan outings amid mountain scenery, wooded shores, and river stops, depending on the operating seasons and conditions specific to each body of water.
In Martinique, choose your starting point from among Les Trois-Îlets, Le Marin, and Le François.

Liberty Pass is available in many boating areas in France, along the Atlantic, English Channel, and Mediterranean coasts, as well as on certain lakes. This allows you to choose your boat and port based on where you live or your preferred boating area.
The boats available and their availability vary by port. Check out the available options to find the Liberty Pass location that best fits your sailing plans.
The price of a Liberty Pass subscription depends on the boat, its engine, its equipment, and the plan offered. Liberty Pass subscriptions are available starting at €199 per month.
The rate includes, among other things, the boat, its dock space, maintenance, insurance, and the Liberty Pass support service. This is an annual subscription with monthly payments, not a monthly boat rental.
Depending on the port, Liberty Pass offers different types of boats in France: motorboats, RIBs, sailboats, and even multihulls. However, not all categories are available at every port.
The easiest way is to first select your region or your sailing area, and then view the boats currently available in the corresponding Liberty Pass databases.
Yes. The vast majority of Liberty Pass boats are available year-round, except during the periods required for their annual maintenance.
The membership is specifically designed for boaters who prefer to sail regularly rather than rent a boat on an occasional basis during the summer season. Outings are, of course, subject to weather conditions and local navigation conditions.
Each boat can accommodate a maximum of 6 Liberty Pass subscribers. Outings are organized using a reservation token system that allows each member to reserve their upcoming time slots through the Liberty Pass app.
Once a trip has been completed, the corresponding token becomes available again and can be used to schedule a new trip. This system allows reservations to be distributed among the various subscribers while maintaining a high degree of flexibility in the boat’s use.
