I expected to travel further along the coastline and enjoy more sites. What we saw was nice, but limited.

Very good cruise experience to explore Nice and Villefrance Sur Mer from the Sea. The captain was very good, informative and funny. Stunning views and an absolute must do in Nice.
Sara_A, Jul 2026
A lovely chance to escape the heat of the city and see the cote d'azur from a different view point. The boat is very well maintained and has a bar/toilets. The commentary is informative and warm in French/English. Indoor and outdoor seating available on the boat.
Sara_Q, Jul 2026
Don’t forget to go to the little ticket booth to get your physical tickets before getting in line to board the boat! We had already seen much of the area from land and this was a great opportunity to see it from a different viewpoint. A nice 1 hour ride. I tend to get seasick and had no issues whatsoever. All of the narration was in English and French - we had no issues understanding everything. There is a bathroom on board and a full bar, if you would like a cocktail. A nice way to get out of the heat for a little bit!
Miriam_W, Jun 2026
This was really nice. Get there early even if you have to stand in line because it gets quite crowded. The ticket booth is tucked away so it takes a bit to find because they do not accept e-tickets.
Andre_H, Jun 2026
This was a nice tour that gave a good view of the coast line in the area. The boat was clean and very nice. Need to jockey for a good seat as there are many people but also many seats that didn’t give an optimal view. All in all a very nice tour.

Friendly and accommodating staff! Views were incredible and the ride was the perfect amount of time for toddler.

Great crew and fantastic sail down the Mediterranean - our kids and we got right on after the plane. Perfect way to shake off the jet lag
Dawn_C, Jun 2026
Very relaxing time viewing the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. Enjoyed viewing the city of Nice, grand houses and learning more about it. Champagne, Aperol spritz and other drinks are available for purchase. Lots of shops, markers, restaurants and bars nearby.
Mellanie_E, Jun 2026
Easy cruise with nice views. My only complaint was not enough bottled water on board to sell to passengers on a warm day. Out of stock before the boat took off.
Jo_B, Jun 2026
Excellent!!! Friendly staff, knowledgeable commentary, beautiful scenery. We both thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
Gary_G, Jun 2026
Nice cruise along coast. Just long enough to enjoy the views, get some history, and feel the breeze.
Mark_D, Jun 2026
Quick 1 hour ride on a beautiful boat! Very comfortable like new boat, drinks were available. Totally worth it for the money, the speaker was hard to understand in English, but we figured it out
Joseph_N, Jun 2026
The crew on the boat were very accommodating and fun. They shared local history and famous sites. Highly recommend this experience.
Ethan_L, Jun 2026
A nice one hour cruise. Good explanations and drinks on board, expensive but that’s okay. Sitting in the shade in the back.
michelle_h, Jun 2026
Affordable boat ride, friendly crew, informative captain who happily narrates key sites on a gentle cruise along the beautiful and scenic coastline. Snacks and drinks available to purchase on board too. 🥂
Claudia_A, Jun 2026
This cruise was amazing! It was great to admire the coastline and architecture of the surrounding towns. The guide had lots of fun facts too. Drinks were available for purchase. The actual boat was newer and nice! Would definitely recommend as an easy activity

Music was loud and all about urging you to purchase drinks. The entire trip felt like a Rose' commercial.

AndreaJ_C, Jun 2026
It was a pleasant experience. Great weather. It was hard to understand the speaker, but the views were fantastic.
Kenneth_P, May 2026
very nice boat, holds 250 ish, about half full, tour was nice, but hard to hear the narration above the noise. Would have liked to have had a 2 hr rather than a one hr cruise, couldn't find that.
