Operator Cancelled the Day Before

Vanessa_C, Jul 2025

Our experience with this tour operator was extremely disappointing. They cancelled our trip just one day before it was scheduled, citing “weather conditions” as the reason. However, the weather on the day of the tour was beautiful—clear skies and calm conditions. There was no sign of inclement weather at all. Thankfully, we were able to find another tour operator who had no problem taking us out that same day, which made the situation even more frustrating. It felt like a poor excuse, and the lack of transparency or effort to accommodate us left a very negative impression. Would not recommend based on this experience.

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Hello, We’re truly sorry for your disappointment and understand how frustrating this must have been. That said, we’d like to clarify a few important details. While the weather may have seemed clear later in the day, the conditions in the morning at the scheduled departure time were not safe. Marine forecasts indicated unstable winds and moderate swell, and for the safety of our passengers, we made the decision to cancel the tour. We also offered you an alternative option, which was unfortunately declined. We always aim to find the best possible solution when unexpected circumstances arise, and we regret that none of the alternatives were suitable for you. Your feedback is important to us, and we’re available if you’d like to discuss this further or explore options for compensation. Kind regards, Cyril & Marie

Amazing experience!

Alexandra_C, Jun 2025

Amazing, relaxing, peaceful experience with the captain and his adorable stepson Max! We weren’t expecting a comedy show with our boat experience but Max is the best. Thank you Cyril for such a nice break from the craziness of Cannes, highly recommend this tour for anyone!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure having you on board. Max will be thrilled to hear he made you laugh — he takes his role as “First Mate and Entertainer” very seriously! We’re so glad we could offer you a peaceful break from the Cannes buzz. You’re welcome back anytime! Warm regards, Cyril & Max 🚤☀️

Amazing trip with Cyril!

Ric_S, May 2025

We had a wonderful trip with Cyril! We left early to avoid traffic and Cyril was ready for us before our start time. He was a fantastic host and very knowledgeable. He even helped us order pizza via Catamaran! The weather was lovely and we had plenty of time to swim and relax. The sandbar we stopped at was so beautiful and the water was crystal clear! Our day was 10/10 and we highly recommend Cyril and the trip if you have the opportunity!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 It was truly a pleasure to welcome you on board and share such a beautiful day with you. I’m so glad you enjoyed the experience—the swimming, the weather, and of course… pizza on the catamaran! Your enthusiasm really means a lot. Thank you again for your trust, and I hope to see you again soon for another adventure at sea! See you soon, Cyril

Definitely a must try

Nishtha_D, Apr 2025

We had an amazing sailboat experience with the family — one of the highlights of our trip! Cyril, our guide, was knowledgeable, understanding, and full of good vibes, making the entire journey even more enjoyable. The snacks and drinks were great, and the overall atmosphere was just beautiful and relaxing. Although we had planned to go snorkelling, the water temperature wasn’t ideal that day, so we had to skip it. Still, the experience was totally worth it. I’d definitely recommend giving this a try — it’s well worth the cost and the memories you’ll make.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear the sailboat experience was a highlight of your trip. Cyril will be so happy to know his energy and knowledge made such a positive impact. We’re sorry the snorkeling didn’t work out due to the temperature, but we’re glad the rest of the day still made it special. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

Very nice and enjoyable...
