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

We had a wonderful boat trip on the 18th. Everything was great, and Claude was very friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout the trip. We really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it!

Cyril was a great captain and guide around the Nice area. We enjoyed his boat and staying cool during the latest heat wave.

Perfect day out to Iles de Lerins and Theoule / Esterel Coast. One of the most special activities you can do on the French Riviera. Hoa Nam was a great host: the boat was on time, with clear communications on where to meet. The boat was clean, spacious, and in great shape. It's perfect for 2-4 people, and maybe even 6. The whole journey was epic, safe, and fun.

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.
