French Riviera · CRUISES & BOAT TOURS
Half of this coast is only visible from the water: the coves under the corniche, the Esterel red rock, the cliffs at Cap Ferrat. The 15 below run from a one-hour bay cruise to a full day under sail, each priced and clear on how much swimming time you get.

Review of Cannes’ 3-hour catamaran cruise, with swimming, snorkeling, paddleboards, snacks, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“Beautiful tour from Nice to Monaco, caves, saint Jean Cap Ferrat, Villefranche and more. We also had a lovely stop in the sea to take a delicious swim! A perfect size boat for 12 people with a fantastic guide/captain knowledgeable about the areas and fun recommendations. One of the highlights of the trip with my husband and will repeat it next time we return to Nice!”
Cruise from Nice to Saint-Tropez with Riviera views, free time to explore, and a comfortable round-trip ferry ride.
“I believe St Tropez needs a few days to be explored. I found trying to locate the high end clothing stores exhausting and I gave up. 4-5 hours strolling through the endless labyrinth of cobblestone walkways was nice albeit, only wished I could have explored more outside the tourist spot. Being October it was windy, and surprisingly busy, and restaurants were full to the brim. Transfer was clean, well organised and left on time. This is just a transfer…”

I highly recommend this trip.”
