We really enjoyed the hour long cruise, seeing the area from the seaside. Beautiful views of Nice, Villefranche, Bealieu, and Cap Ferat.. Nice commentary pointing out significant landmarks… we stutters open air seating and the weather and views were great! Pretty large crowd on the boat but not a deterrent at all.

The views are absolutely stunning!! This a must when visiting Nice! A ferry coastal cruise on the Mediterranean Sea is a great way to see parts of the Riviera from the water.
Amanda_G, Mar 2026
The boat was beautiful, clean and we really enjoyed our time! The staff on board provided great information and had a great sense of humor too.
Kathy_M, Mar 2026
A relaxing way to enjoy the water. Great for some downtime in a busy schedule. Not a must thing to do butvenjoyable
Ian_P, Mar 2026
Drinks where extremely expensive on board the boat,
The trip wasn’t worth the money, sounded better on the description than the trip actually was, all we did was to go to a small bay round the corner and told us where some famous people lived.
MarcJS, Nov 2025
Outstanding cruise that was informative and interesting. We saw all the important points of interest as well as a few hidden gems.

It was cancelled because of orange wind warning. I was never notified that it was cancelled. We called and found out there were two bookings. I haven't received a refund.

Great price
Cindy_J, Oct 2025
Information was good about sightseeing. It was orderly and the guide spoke in both French and English. Although, I did have trouble hearing him so I only wish he would have spoken up.
jacqui_w, Oct 2025
Great time and nice views of the bay and coast around Nice. Highly recommend. A new boat and very well- organized. Great views of the port and yachts.
Janne_G, Oct 2025
Nice experience that did not take too much out of your day. All information is in English and French.
Christy_S, Oct 2025
This tour was a wonderful way to see the area around Nice. The speaker provided great information/details about the area and included not only history but also some 'scoops' (like the celebrity homes in the area). Lucky for us, the weather was beautiful and the winds calm on the day we were there.
Chantriss_T, Sep 2025
Very nice experience. Ticket office was easy to locate, the crew was super friendly, and the ride was a proper length of time.
Patricia_M, Sep 2025
Fun short ride on the Mediterranean Sea to the French Riviera for a great price. An hour is all you need
Elena_A, Sep 2025
Fantastic trip!!
Highly recommend, the view is stunning!!
The boat is clean. The staff is knowledgeable!!
Marisa_B, Sep 2025
Very enjoyable trip, clean and tidy boat. Polite crew that worked very hard to attend to all the passengers, serve drinks and give a commentary on the scenery.
Their customers service was just as great on the 5pm ferry as it was on the 9am trip, despite the hard work and the heat.
The ticket office staff were knowledgeable and we ended up booking a second trip for later in the week.
Our first trip was the 1 hour cruise, we booked it for our first morning to help us get to know the area. It was more than enough time and gave us several ideas for things to do. Take cash for the bar and we recommend sitting downstairs on the open deck at the back, for the best views.
Good value too.
Brenda_R, Sep 2025
It was very enjoyable ,even though the commentator couldn't stop coughing.
Personally I would have loved to do a longer trip but didn't have the time.
Namrata_G, Sep 2025
I travelled with my parents. It was a good way to see some of the sea. We didn't face any organisation related issue. Everything happened on time. My parents liked it but it was an average experience for me.
Becky_T, Sep 2025
Incredible! The team are so unbelievably friendly and welcoming. The service was fabulous even pouring my glass of champagne at my seat, and when you offer them a tip they have a very wholesome tradition to tap the red pompom in the captains hat, they’re so humble.
The boat was impeccably clean and tidy, and the route was perfect for sightseeing and the English translation was faultless and informative.
Highly recommend!
Dave_D, Sep 2025
Great way to see the French Riviera from the water. Lots of historical information. Pleasant boat ride.
Dona_R, Sep 2025
The audio was hard to hear. The bartender was very kind. The views beautiful. The ride exciting. Recommend!
William_H, Sep 2025
Missed the tour. Travel times in Nice are very unpredictable. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time, especially if your hotel is in town.
Prerana_R, Sep 2025
It was a great experience. Beautiful views. Staff was friendly. The cruise was on time and very professional
Elizabeth_G, Sep 2025
Just the right amount of time for a good look at the coastline of the Côte d’Azur. We took the the trip to see a little more due to my husbands bad knees
Maria_R, Sep 2025
Loved exploring the waters of Nice and the history behind the places on shore. Our guides were very informative. Not only was the guide in French but also in English. I would do this again.
Megan_F, Sep 2025
Poor customer service. Ladies at the port were extremely rude. It was super hot without shaded options on the boat. Wouldn't book again.
