Boat rental to Fréjus
Two thousand years of Roman history meet the Mediterranean. Arrive by boat rental at Port-Fréjus and step into a city where ancient amphitheatres, sandy beaches, and provençal markets coexist beautifully.
About Fréjus
Fréjus is one of the oldest cities on the French Riviera, founded in 49 BC by Julius Caesar as Forum Julii — a strategic Roman port and naval base. Today, traces of its imperial past are visible at every turn: a remarkably well-preserved amphitheatre, aqueduct ruins, the Lanterne d'Auguste lighthouse tower, and the ancient Porte des Gaules city gate.
The modern marina, Port-Fréjus, holds 849 berths and forms a vibrant waterfront district with restaurants, boutiques, and a broad boardwalk. It is the ideal arrival point by boat rental — step off the boat and you're immediately in the heart of the action.
Beyond history, Fréjus offers long stretches of sandy beach with shallow, family-friendly water. The coastline extends south toward Saint-Aygulf, providing kilometres of uninterrupted sand. Inland, the 5th-century Episcopal complex — including a Romanesque cathedral and one of France's oldest baptisteries — is a UNESCO tentative site.
Fréjus is also home to some unexpected treasures: the Pagode Hong Hien, a Buddhist pagoda built in 1917, the African Mosque memorial, and the sprawling Aqualand waterpark that makes it a summer favourite with families. A boat rental from Saint-Tropez gets you here in 40 minutes — far faster and more enjoyable than the congested coastal road.
