A multifunctional marina
La Favière Marina is a multifunctional hub that caters to the needs of seafarers. Its development began in 1969, in response to the surge in yachting popularity. To safeguard against the persistent eastern swell, a protective dike was constructed and reinforced in recent years. The marina prioritizes safety, protection, and an array of services. Open year-round, it provides daily rates and year-long packages for boat owners. Managed by the International Yacht Club of Bormes les Mimosas, it offers essential facilities such as water, electricity, and sanitary amenities. Additionally, you’ll find a shipyard, maintenance services, mechanical companies, as well as conveniences like a laundry, restaurants, and various water sports and diving activities. The marina proudly displays the European Blue Flag, a testament to the exceptional quality of its waters.
