A wonderful charter with a very professional crew. First rate. My children had an excellent time jumping off the boat and rocks. Will definitely use again and recommend to my friends. Thanks to Oleg and Alla.

Jasper was a gentleman. He made us feel at home on the boat and consulted us on the best places to visit. It was a smooth day from start to finish and he had excellent communication. We were a group of 13 people and there was a lot of space. We went snorkelling and he ordered us pizzas delivered to the boat. We would highly recommend without hesitation. Thank you!

We had a fantastic afternoon with Roberto on his boat. He took us to see Monaco from the water and had great facts about all the celebrity villas on the coastline. He was so relaxed and friendly. We stopped to swim twice which was needed in the heat! Would recommend Roberto without doubt.

Our day on Wahou was just amazing from start to finish. We had the best time. Magali made us feel comfortable straight away. She was brilliant at answering questions before we arrived too. The boat is soooo big. Easily comfortable for 4-6 people. We dropped anchor at the Lerin Islands where Magali got a paddle board, masks and rubber ring for us to use. Drinks boats and pizza boats were around us. Not hassling us at all. Just happy to serve when we wanted. All very reasonably priced too. Magali couldn't have done enough for us. We took drinks so we had our own cocktails once we had sampled some from a visiting cocktail boat. She is a perfect cocktail mixer! Music blasting, dancing and lots of laughing. It was the best day and will stay with us for a very long time. We shall definitely be back. Magali is a star! Five star!!! Thank you so much.

I could not recommend enough! The overall process of hiring this was so seamless. There were five of us on a hen do and the lovely skipper took us to all of the best spots for the most memorable trip. Thank you so much for your service and helping us make cherished memories.

Contact with Essam and Timy was good before the day of the booking and they provided me with plenty of information. The boat was great, exactly as the photos on the website and perfect for my family. Timy was very helpful as I was trying to make it a surprise for my family, there were five of us in total on the boat (two adults, three children) and there was enough room. We really enjoyed the day and I would definitely hire again if I return to the area. Thanks Essam and Timy

It was beautiful! The riviera coastline with the views of Eze, Monaco, and the Italian coast, were fantastic sights.

We anchored between the Iles de Lérins. A beautiful spot with calm water. Lunch on the pizza boat or at la tonnelle. Refueling at the other port went smoothly.

Lots of boats in the channel between the Lerins Islands, but the area was calm and pleasant. Easy mooring. Be careful of the prohibited anchoring areas in which case you have to moor at the chests for free.
Beaucoup de bateaux dans le chenal entre les îles de Lerins, pour autant la zone était calme et agréable. Amarage facile. Attention aux zones d’ancrage interdit auquel cas il faut s’amarrer aux coffres gratuitement.
