    We had a great morning out with Roberto for our dad’s 70th birthday surprise. The boat was perfect for a family of 10. We went to Monaco harbour and then to a couple of bays to swim and relax. Roberto was a great host, and the music was 10/10. Would highly recommend booking. Easy communication beforehand and clear directions to get to the boat. Thank you, Roberto!

    Roberto made us have an incredible afternoon! We celebrated a bachelorette party, and Roberto made it special with his availability and sympathy. He took us to see wonderful places, making us bathe in waters, one more beautiful than the others. Polite, precise and entertainer, Roberto and his boat are to be highly recommended!
    Roberto ci ha fatto passare un pomeriggio incredibile! Abbiamo festeggiato un addio al nubilato, e Roberto ha reso il tutto speciale con la sua disponibilità e simpatia. Ci ha portato a vedere posti stupendi, facendoci fare il bagno in delle acque una più bella delle altre. Gentile, preciso e intrattenitore, Roberto e la sua barca sono da consigliare assolutamente!

    We spent an ideal day with Roberto and his skipper, Manuel. They were cordial, helpful and professional. Visiting Monaco, Italy and France on (thankfully) calm seas was a pure delight. The boat itself is clean and well-maintained. It was everything we had hoped for and more. Our hearty recommendations to anyone considering this trip!

    Superb day with Roberto, who picked us up at the port of Nice, and sailed us all along the coast to Monaco. We alternated swimming and sailing. We were 10 (+ Roberto) on the boat and it was very good. There is everything you need in the cabin for a good day. I recommend.

    We had an amazing trip with Robert in August for my husband's Birthday and didn't regret for a second! If you in France for a short period of time and don’t have time to see all Riviera I would definitely recommend to have a boat trip! Swimming with beautiful fish, see lots of great places! Thank you very much!

    Splendid day with Roberto on his beautiful and well maintained boat, Jade. Discreet & relaxed, he allowed us appropriate his boat. He picked us up at Marina Baie des Anges, which was handy for us. With little wind for the trip out to les Îles des Lerins, we used the motor, but got the sails up for the return. Overall a fabulous & memorable day out. I fully recommend Roberto. Hope to return!

    We were a family of 8 people, who had a fantastic boat trip with Roberto as captain. Very friendly, and he shared interesting facts and history about different places we visited. You can immediately feel that he very familiar with the area. We went swimming/snorkeling and saw beautiful places. If you want to go for a boat trip in Southern France, then we can all recommend this booking.

    We booked a trip with Roberto with about 14 hours notice and he never let us down! He was professional from start to end - answering all my questions quickly and leaving no question unanswered. We had a wonderful day with Roberto where we visited Eze, Mala Beach, a tour inside the Port of Monaco and a final stop at Menton. At no point we’re we put under any pressure regarding time. We set out at 10 and returned at 19.15. What a super day we had!! Roberto has so much knowledge of the Côte D’Azur and so he gave us plenty of information as we passed by. The boat was lovely, clean and spacious - we travelled as a group of 7. We swam, snorkelled and dived into the clear waters - an absolute must for anyone travelling to Nice or the surrounding areas. Thank you so much for a wonderful day Roberto - we will be back!!

    Roberto was easily one of the most amazing Captains out there. Being my 30th birthday, I wanted it to be great and Roberto could not have been more perfect. Not only was he incredibly easy to work with, but he was also super communicative, friendly, easy going, and had a really charming sense of humor. His ship is also phenomenal - Sitting up to 11 people with all sorts of amenities as well. Roberto was super flexible and honestly just a great guy to work with. I can't wait to take a trip with him again in the future and highly highly recommend him!!

    We had a great time on Roberto's boat during our excursion with a group of 6 ladies during our bachelorette weekend. This sailboat is classy and spacious. You can sit outside or inside. It has a very good sound system, so the party mood is directly on. Roberto and his companion know the area very good and proposed us a splendid route alongside Monaco, Monte-Carlo towards Italy. The stopover in the cute bay of Menton was also very picturesque and nice. During the booking process, everything went smoothly. Roberto replies almost instantly and is happy to answer all your questions. He is fluent in English, French and Italian, so it's super easy to communicate for international clients as well. I would truly recommend his services to anyone who wants to discover the French Riviera by the sea.

    We were 6 women to rent Roberto's sailboat for the day for a bachelor party and everything went very well. Roberto and Emmanuel (the skipper) were perfect. They welcomed us and put us at ease right away. We sailed to the Lerins Islands, it was great! We then took advantage of a few hours of swimming, lazing around in the sun, lunch on board.....in short, the perfect day with friends! Roberto and Emmanuel took good care of one of us, who unfortunately got seasick. The sailboat is clean, comfortable and well maintained. Highly recommend and can't wait to rent it again next year. ps: Sorry Roberto for Croatia...but it was a great game! :-)
    Nous étions 6 femmes à louer le voilier de Roberto pour la journée pour un enterrement de vie de jeune fille et tout s'est très bien passé. Roberto et Emmanuel (le skipper) étaient parfaits. Ils nous ont bien accueilli et nous ont mis tout de suite à l'aise. Nous avons naviguer à la voile jusqu'aux Îles de Lerins, c'était super! Nous avons ensuite profité de quelques heures de baignade, de farniente au soleil, d'un déjeuner à bord.....bref, la journée parfaite entre copines! Roberto et Emmanuel ont bien pris soin d'une de nous, qui a eu, malheureusement, le mal de mer. Le voilier est propre, confortable et bien entretenu. Je recommande vivement et hâte de le re-louer l'année prochaine. ps : Désolée Roberto pour la Croatie...mais c'était un beau matche! :-)
