Hybrid boat trip - In the heart of Port-Cros National Park

Arrive in the wild and mysterious bay of Port-Man, the starting point for our non-stop, commented, electric ride along the north face of the island. Enjoy a different way of sailing: no noise, no smell, no CO₂ emissions...

During this 2-hour guided tour, you'll discover the heart of the National Park in the silence and respect for this preserved site that only the O₂ hybrid boat can offer. The proximity of the coastline will help you appreciate the historical heritage as well as the wealth of flora and fauna in Port-Cros' natural heritage.

An immersion in the history of the Golden Isles that begins with the legend of Prince Olbianus and his four daughters... The era of piracy and its famous figures. Then comes the military period, with the establishment of forts, followed by the 20th century, private owners and, in particular, the Henry family, who made Port-Cros the island of writers, and led to the creation of the Port-Cros National Park in 1963. We'll talk about the Park's missions and the measures taken to preserve the environment.

Period: June to September.

Latitude Verte is accessible to people with reduced mobility. N.B.: Only manual wheelchairs can be taken on board our ships. Due to their excessive weight, electric wheelchairs cannot be accepted, as boarding is by hand.

An environmentally-friendly sea trip:

"Passionate about the Sea, we've always been keen to share the riches of our region in a different way ... Aware of the impact of tourism on the environment, we decided to embark on this great adventure that is Latitude Verte around two essential points: To have less impact on the natural environment and to let people discover our coastline in a more confidential way."

These commitments came to fruition in 2019, with the creation of the O₂, Var's first hybrid boat:

• Bateau à Propulsion Hybride enabling electric navigation limiting CO2 emissions and noise pollution within the National Park and the two sensitive sites.
• Acoustic optimization of the vessel to reduce the impact of noise and vibration on the environment and offer an enhanced experience for passengers and crew.
• Aluminum hull: 100% recyclable material with no loss of quality.
• The boat is painted entirely with solvent-free paint.
• Black water tanks: No waste discharge into the natural environment.
• The boat's lighting is low-consumption thanks to the use of LED bulbs.
