This was a perfect sunset tour to Lerins Island. Everything is perfect in this setting and a very short and sweet trip. Everything was perfectly managed and a very convenient pick up and drop. One thing to note is that skipper charges of Euro 200 are mandatory and not optional and should be considered in cost while booking. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

My friends and I had an amazing time on the boat! Clara was our captain and made sure everyone had what they needed during the trip. The location we docked at was absolutely beautiful and they had boats in the area that would deliver pizza, drinks, and coffee right to you. We will definitely do this tour again when we are back in the area!

Perfect sunset getaway from Cannes

Great boating experience in Cannes!

Soosan_K, Jun 2026

Valerie is delightful and runs this family-owned boating company in Cannes. They are the kindest family and natives of the city. We enjoyed sailing with her and her father. We also got to meet her mother as well. The boat ride was smooth sailing, and they took us to the best sailing spots. They even came prepared with goggles and a jet-powered device, which helped my grandson move quickly in the beautiful water so he could observe the beautiful fish underwater! If you are interested in setting out to sea in the south of France, I would recommend you book here through them.

Sunset boat-ride

Wonderful sunset trip out to the island. Valerie was terrific and took good care of us. Got to jump in the water and have fun. Brought some Prosecco and munchies and played music. Blissful

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Wonderful boat ride and beautiful water!

Clara's communication was amazing! Six of us booked the private boat with Skipper (Clara) and had the best time! The boat right to the private islands was great and the water couldn't have been more beautiful! The sea scooter was so much fun! Having the cocktail boat and pizza boat serve us was an added bonus! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Amazing excursion

Chris_C, Sep 2025

I strongly recommend this trip to anyone on vacation/holiday in Cannes. The service was so easy to book and coordinate departure date/time. The ride is smooth and scenic, taking you to the beautiful islands. Once anchored, you have plenty of time to swim and hangout on the water, enjoying the sun and beautiful scenery. 100% would do this again!

Sucked!!!! Don’t sign up for this!!!!

Julie_H, Aug 2025

Absolutely could not find the captain nor could or would the company after I contacted them twice and spoke ad nauseum with two different agents. Where is our refund ???

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Dear Madam, you booked for an evening at sunset, with a delay you inform me that you arrived, not seeing you at the meeting point I asked you your position to come and pick you up and from that moment there was no more news from you, I sent you numerous messages and waited an hour and a half for nothing... Viator informs me once the sun has set that your phone is dead... You were unreachable and did not show up at the meeting point, even though it was precise. You were unfortunately not able to enjoy the excursion through your own fault and you allow yourself to denigrate our work...

Glorious day trip from Cannes

As a family of 5, with teenagers had a great time swimming and snorkeling in the clear waters between the Lerins islands. Valerie was very nice and explanation was good. Overall was a great time.
