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.

We had the most amazing day aboard Jean Pierre’s catamaran! We chartered a full-day tour from Cannes, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Jean Pierre and Stéphane were phenomenal hosts — warm, friendly, and accommodating. They made us feel completely at home and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. They even helped prepare and serve the food and drinks we brought and beautifully presented our cake for dessert. The tour took us around the stunning Lérins Islands, with several stops to swim, snorkel, and paddleboard (gear provided). We even got to explore some incredible underwater statues in crystal clear waters. The whole day felt like a dream. The catamaran itself was spotless — spacious, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, with plenty of areas to lounge and relax. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience that exceeded all expectations. I couldn’t recommend this charter more highly — truly the highlight of our trip to the French Riviera!

Our experience renting the catamaran was absolutely wonderful! Everyone was extremely happy and didn’t even want to leave the boat because it was so amazing. The owners were incredibly helpful, kind, and understanding. They handled hosting a large group effortlessly, which is a challenge for many companies. They showed us the most beautiful spots along the coast and took care of us in every way. We highly recommend them!

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.
