Julien was the best skipper and host, replied super fast and was really helpful when planning the trip. We were 8 ppl for a bachelorette and had the most amazing day out along the coast. He was on time, no extra unhidden charges, super friendly and just a great host. Would recommend to rent his boat to everyone who wants a memorable boat day!

Perfect day out to Iles de Lerins and Theoule / Esterel Coast. One of the most special activities you can do on the French Riviera. The captain Tom had great energy and great vibes. The boat was clean and perfect for 2-4 people. The sunbathing area was large, safe, and fun. Hoa Nam also responded well to messages and told us exactly where to meet. Great host!

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!

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.
