Mont Saint Clair allows you to prepare while being protected from the north wind and the same on the way back. Sète is a very beautiful city with very beautiful sailboats.

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!

Everything was fantastic! Roman was the perfect guide and host, the boat was immaculately clean and in great condition with plenty of places for our party of 6 to relax and take in the trip. Roman speaks excellent English if that is helpful to you and has a ton of knowledge, we really enjoyed having him as our captain. There were also plenty of places to store the wine and snacks we brought for the trip, the boat was well-equipped. We would absolutely book with him again! It was a delight!

The boat was very well equipped, and he was always willing to help, going above and beyond to ensure our holiday was exceptional. We would happily charter with him on the boat again soon! Highly recommend, dont hesitate!
