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.

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

We had an amazing day renting this boat and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The boat was perfect, clean, and easy to use, making for a fantastic day on the water. Tim was absolutely lovely from start to finish – so friendly, helpful, and informative. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we were comfortable before setting off. His excellent customer service really made the day even more enjoyable. We would highly recommend renting from Tim and will definitely be back next time we’re in the area. Thank you for such a wonderful day!

Great boat experience. Went to some beautiful spots with opportunity to relax and also paddle board/snorkel. Skipper Samy was very welcoming and friendly. He is an ex DJ so also had some great music choices! Would highly recommend.

Sam was honestly amazing. We had the best boat day with him and his team who were so kind but simultaneously fun!! He sent us weather reports in the lead up to our boat day, was so helpful when we asked him questions about F&B and was communicative from the very second we booked. Would 110% recommend him to anyone wanting a boat day close to Cannes!!

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.
