Oleg and Alla took my family of four (2 adults and 2 twenty year old's) out on their beautiful Catamaran for the day in Antibes. We were greeted with a bottle of Prosecco and a stunning fruit platter. Later, Alla made us the most delicious caprese salad and spaghetti bolognaise for lunch. We cruised around billionaires beach and the Lerins Islands where we swam in the clear teal waters. They provided many water toys (SUP, snorkel & fins, floating dock) as well as towels. The boat was super clean and spacious. Thanks to the incredible hospitality of Oleg and Alla, we created memories with our kids that will last a lifetime (they even brought along their adorable dog Bandit who was a cuddle bug and loved going on the SUP). I highly recommend doing a charter with them.

We have never had a boat of this new! They have an excellent fleet that is very very new. The man who runs the charter company is incredibly responsive, answering questions whenever they come up. Would absolutely use this charter company again.

Super clean and beautifully maintained boat with a lovely captain. Has multiple fridges and a well-stocked kitchen. Bathroom is super clean. We loved our day on the Mediterranean so much that our guests wanted to cancel all plans and do the same thing the next day.

The trip was perfect and exceeded out expectations. We were able to help sail the boat, enjoy free cold drinks, swim in the ocean, relax on the front deck net and take a nap. Seb, the captain, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible as to where we went and what we did. While we didn't catch or see anything, we were able to fish and look for dolphins and whales. Quite a magical day and fully recommend this experience with Seb and his boat.

Jean Philippe was great. Very responsive and helpful. We had a great day on the boat with the ten of us - two grandparents, four parents and four grandkids. Thank you so much.

We had a great experience chartering this boat for the day, and our captain Bruno, who Marie's team coordinated, was great. The boat was in great shape and we had a wonderful, memorable day. I did have to ask a lot of questions ahead of time, so in the future it would be helpful to better explain the exact address to be dropped off at, the exact time for us to arrive and return, options to stop for lunch, what we can/can't bring on the boat, and maybe even options for where to go for the day. The security deposit requirement was quite high, so there was a lot of back and forth on purchasing insurance to reduce it. However, day of logistics were super smooth and we were very happy with our day on the water.

We had the best day on the water! Roman and his partner were amazing but the boat was outstanding. In amazing condition and has everything you could possibly need. We were with our 3yo who also had the time of his life. If you considering it, just book - you will make memories beyond worth it!

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.
Le mont Saint Clair permet de se préparer en étant protégé du vent du Nord et idem au retour. Sète est une très belle ville avec de très beaux voiliers.

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

France has beautiful beaches with soft sand and crystal clear water. In the south of France, you can find the best places with the perfect weather to spend time with a group of friends. The best way to enjoy these places is on board a catamaran. On a catamaran, you can relax and dive into the refreshing sea. Several tourists say that discovering France by boat is one of the best experiences they have ever had.

During the high season, the demand for boat rentals increases along with the prices. The busiest months in France start from July to the end of August.

To rent and enjoy any of the boats available in the catalogue, we suggest that you start searching two months in advance and start the process immediately.

In France, a license is required depending on the type of boat you charter. For renting a catamaran, you must have an ICC including a nautical curriculum showing that you have previous sailing experience.
