This was the most magical experience! Francis and Nico were wonderful. We sailed around the islands, snorkeled in the sea and learned so much about the history of the area. It was relaxing and truly a lifetime adventure. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys a great view, revels in history and welcomes the company of outstanding hosts!

This vintage sailboat was a great experience on the water. It was built back in 1948. It was very laid-back in the crew was very knowledgeable of the area. I would definitely do this again.

Alex and Josh were absolutely fantastic! So accommodating and communicated every detail to make things so smooth, even during yacht week! The boat was amazing and so large. Alex even gave us some history and knowledge of the city of Cannes and the coastal islands. Brunch was delicious and my wife and I ate almost all of it! I could not recommend this enough for anyone who wants such a unique and incredible experience! We will be doing this again when we come back!

Captain Alex and first mate Josh were very friendly attentive and knowledgeable. The sailing cruise was spectacular. It was so beautiful and I felt very safe considering I can’t swim. Something I’ve dreamed of became a reality

100% recommend, this was a great and memorable experience. The food and drinks were an incredible touch. The crew made us feel relaxed. A great way to spend an afternoon!

The experience was great and it was the best way we could celebrate our wedding trip. Alex’s classic boat is the best way of experiencing sailing in Cannes. The way he planned the trip is excellent because you have time to try sailing but also stay in the water for some swimming. The snacks were a bonus, and he brought a delicious quiche made by his wife! Totally recommend it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience! The boat is beautiful and Alex the captain/owner was a wonderful host. He was very knowledgeable about the area having lived there for 17 years.
It was a perfect combination of relaxing and doing your own thing or interacting with Alex and crew to learn more about Cannes.
After a sail around the islands off of Cannes, we went snorkeling in a stunning area near one of the islands. The water was clear and calm, very enjoyable.
They provide snorkeling gear and towels, which was very convenient. After snorkeling, they provided a lovely lunch of quiche, fresh fruit, cheese, and pastries.
I highly recommend this experience and want to bring other family members back for a sail!

Captain Alex and his 1948 vintage sailing yacht was the highlight of our Cannes experience. What an absolutely lovely way to spend a few hours exploring the harbor and islands. A light charcuterie board and some local rose’ was an unexpected treat. Alex is a world-class sailor and and interesting gentleman—someone we enjoyed spending time with—thank you!!!

Wonderful excursion! Here to celebrate my daughters graduation from university, our first time in Cannes and sailing. Alex and Josh took great care of us. Very gracious hosts and knowledgable about the area. The scenery was beautiful, the water refreshing and the spread of snacks delicious. It was a perfect last day for us. Hope to be back next year!

Absolutely perfect way to spend the day! Beautiful boat, lovely clear water and wonderfully attentive crew. Couldn’t ask for a better way to enjoy our time in Cannes.
Juanita_R, May 2023
The friendliness of the crew and the beautiful blue water. We think the day was beautiful and Alex shared wonderful stories of the Riviera’s history
Nicasio_J, May 2023
Having never sailed, this was an amazing experience. Alex and Josh took us out and around the bay, then settled off the shore with the most amazing blue water.
Lunch, wine, fruits and music, set the tone for a perfect event. We didnt want it to end! This is an excursion we highly recommend.
It seemed we were the envy of the bay. We even had a local motor up to us asking questions about Alex’s classic sail boat.

Loved spending the day with Alex and Josh. Relaxing day and yummy homemade food! They were so hospitable and kind! Thanks so much.
Genevieve_P, Apr 2023
Alex (and Josh) were exceptional and accommodating hosts who are friendly and informative without being at all intrusive. They prepared us a beautiful light lunch and kept our rose topped off throughout the outing. It was a wonderful, private, romantic trip. I highly recommend it.

It was perfect: a sunny day with nice people, a wounderful Tour on board of a cozy, beautiful sailing yacht. You get information about the area and a nice stop with a bath in the Mediterranean Sea including a delicious picknick. Thank you again for this perfect day!!!!!!
