We had an amazing day on Rogers boat. He took us to absolutely stunning locations. The boat was comfortable, shaded, and Rogers took great care of us. We highly recommend spending a day on his boat. Definitely a highlight of our trip.

These guys, Hans and his mate Eric were absolute gems.. highly recommend for an afternoon/evening on the water. I don’t hype anything, but these guys are worth visiting again . Responsive on pre boarding and picked us up in the perfect location. Hans, Eric, and SamBoat for the win!

We had a wonderful time! Beaulieu-sur-Mer is a fantastic place to explore the beautiful spots around Cap-Ferrat. Michel showed us some of the best places to stop and swim near Paloma Beach. The boat was very clean and in excellent technical condition. We really enjoyed the trip and would definitely recommend it!

Excellent experience with Jean Baptiste! He was very punctual, friendly, professional and always easy to reach throughout the whole organisation. Everything was perfectly arranged. Our clients were very happy with the yacht, the service and the entire trip, and they had a wonderful time at sea. Thank you again, Jean Baptiste! We would be very happy to work with you again in the future.

We had a fantastic time. Our two kids did wake boarding and tubeing for the whole trip (almost). David instructed us very well and together with the fantastic scenery, we very much enjoyed the sunny afternoon on the water.

Thoroughly enjoyed our day out on Maximes boat. We were concerned that a full day would be too much... not at all, we had a ball! The boat was spotless and service from Maxime was good.
