Absolutely wonderful day with Maxime on Mambo 2. He was very attentive and friendly. He allowed us to steer the boat under his supervision, and we always felt very safe. The picnic was a great touch. A thoroughly enjoyable time, couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Would definitely recommend booking with him.

This sailing experience with Max was incredible! It was our best day spent in the French Riviera. He was accommodating, fun, attentive, and so patient! We are two best friends on a girls trip and he taught us the basics of sailing and how to tie some knots! The lunch was delicious and the Max’s homemade anchovies dip & homemade tzatziki were out of this world! Do yourself a favor and book this excursion! He even treated us to an extra hour on board and offered to stop and get us some ice cream! He was a 10/10 captain!

It was incredible! It was just me and my fiance and we had the entire boat to ourselves with Maximo. He tailored the sailing to what we wanted to experience. He offered to come with us everywhere we went so we knew where to go. And the home cooked lunch was extra special. We spent so much time in the water and sipping rosé. It was truly so special.

Merci Isabella pour cet avis très positif. Au plaisir d'avoir été sur l'eau avec vous ⛵

What a wonderful day spent on the water! The trip was very catered towards what we wanted. Lots of sun, swimming and yummy fresh food. It was the perfect escape for me and my husband and we would 10/10 recommend!

Maxime was absolutely amazing! It was such a fun and beautiful way to sail from Cannes and see a bit of Sainte-Marguerite. We got the chance to swim twice and a nice lunch on the boat of fresh vegetables and a baguette. The homemade tzaziki and anchovy sauce were extremely delicious and he even told us the recipes. My husband had a bunch a questions about the sailboat and the region and Maxime gladly answered them all. A great, slow way to spend a Saturday in the Cote D'zure.

A truly beautiful Cannes excursion! Maxime made us feel at home on his boat, Mambo 2, and he made the day special for my sister's birthday. 10 out of 10 experience and we would definitely sail with Maxime again!!

We had an amazing day with Maxime! It was very relaxing with beautiful views. He was very flexible with what we wanted to do. We ended up going to the Lerin Islands to swim, and got off to explore Saint-Honorat. The lunch and rose was delicious. We had no experience sailing, but Maxime was patient and taught us how things work. Would definitely recommend this!
Souren_C, Aug 2024
We had a pleasant time! Maxime is a great guide and customize the experience to your preference. We weren't so lucky with the wind and spent more time swimming and than sailing but it's up to you. Lunch spread with wine and beverages was great! I definitely recommend it and will do it again if in the area!

Thank you very much for your feedback ⛵

Maxime was a terrific guide, incredibly friendly and a passionate sailor. We absolutely loved this experience and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. We had the opportunity to learn to sail, explore the islands and areas around Cannes, as well as swim and snorkel at numerous spots. Maxime made great recommendations based on our interests to make the day more enjoyable. Lunch was great and the boat was really well equipped with everything we needed for the day.
Celine_C, Oct 2025
Excellent day to discover the islands of Lerins. The place is just magical. Maxime is considerate and has at heart to share his love for these islands. The sailboat allows you to take your time and deal with the elements which makes the experience even more beautiful. The big plus an excellent Provencal lunch with fresh and tasted products. We recommend with your eyes closed.
Thank you very much Maxime!
