    We rented the boat in August for a day including skipper Alain. The positive: Communication with Alain was great, we always received an answer straight away. The boat itself offers enough space for a group of 10 people. The boat trip itself (Nice towards Cannes and back again, including 2 bathing bays and a visit to the Plage Keller restaurant) was disappointing. We missed the skipper's relaxed attitude. We also encountered the word "no" several times. There were no explanations about the coast / locations or anything else. In the end, there were 2 boat taxi rides to 2 bays and a somewhat overpriced restaurant. What we didn't like at all was that we had to pay our petrol bill of €900 (!) at the first stop. In previous boat trips with similar boats, the petrol portion was between €300 and €500, which would have been okay. €900 can't be right! In short: Unfortunately, we cannot make any recommendation here.

    The condition of the boat was wonderful. Unfortunately, the outing was less than expected. We were picked up late at 11:15 and dropped off early around 6pm, though we had paid for a full 8 hours. Alain was very prompt with his communication prior to boarding but was a little off putting in demeanor on the boat. Not only was our time cut short, but we were not offered snacks or drinks. I would not book again.

    Dear Kristin, You asked me to pick you up at 11:15. My schedule is 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. I work every day and can't accommodate everyone's schedule. I offer drinks on board, but not snacks. Everything is clearly stated in the ad. Sincerely, Alain

    Experience with the skipper very complicated... Before booking, the owner assured us that we had the choice of the route to Monaco, that we could sail for 8 hours and cook on the yacht. After booking, the speech completely changed. In addition, the owner tells us that the flat rate for fuel is €680!!!! We find this amount excessive for the requested cruise (Nice - Monaco). When we arrived on site, we realize that it is another skipper who will provide the cruise. As a result, we outline a categorical refusal on all the conditions discussed with the owner. Results: we were only able to stop in three different spots. As for the skipper, we really felt like we were disturbing him. The only word that is part of his vocabulary is: no .... Price: 2/5 Skipper: 1/5 Experience: 3/5
