Oleg and his partner were such a joy!! Our boat trip was unfortunately disrupted by weather - but Oleg let us know the day prior and jumped to his feet to take us out that day instead. I am so so happy that my husband and I got to do this boat trip together. We were unexpectedly served an incredible cheese board, lunch cooked by Oleg from the boat, and drinks! The service was wonderful and the boat is beautiful. We snorkeled and paddle boarded and had the most incredible experience. Highly recommend!!

An amazing experience from start to finish! The yacht was in excellent condition, and all the water sports equipment was well-maintained and of great quality. The food served on board was fresh, delicious, and a lovely addition to the experience. The captain was incredibly helpful, warm, and polite, making us feel comfortable throughout the trip. Highly recommend renting this yacht if you’re looking for a memorable day on the French Riviera. We had a wonderful time and would definitely book again!

We had an amazing time! Frank was very informative, experienced, respectful, and relaxed. The process was easy, and the price was unbeatable for the service we received.

The boat was lovely and our skipper Leo was above and beyond! The owner was extremely communicative - he was patient with many questions! - and both him and our skipper were very flexible and helpful in suggesting places to go. Can’t say enough good things about our skipper. It was a full day and he was very kind, knowledgeable and skilled in driving the boat. Thank you both so much for an unforgettable day!

Julien was the BEST! Easy communicating with throughout and kept everything simple and easy. He was a great captain and we felt very safe. The day at sea was incredible and Julien was accommodating to what we wanted to do and see. Super easy going. He showed us such cool spots where we can relax and swim. Highly recommend booking with Julien for an amazing day!!!

All is good, the anchor is tiny and not very effective, but boat is good and drinks 20 euro of fuel for about 3 hours sailing so this is low consumption thank you

It was beautiful! The riviera coastline with the views of Eze, Monaco, and the Italian coast, were fantastic sights.

We anchored between the Iles de Lérins. A beautiful spot with calm water. Lunch on the pizza boat or at la tonnelle. Refueling at the other port went smoothly.

Lots of boats in the channel between the Lerins Islands, but the area was calm and pleasant. Easy mooring. Be careful of the no-anchor areas, in which case you have to moor at the chests for free.
Beaucoup de bateaux dans le chenal entre les îles de Lerins, pour autant la zone était calme et agréable. Amarage facile. Attention aux zones d’ancrage interdit auquel cas il faut s’amarrer aux coffres gratuitement.
