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.

Absolutely perfect day. Our skipper (Sylvain) was the ultimate professional whilst also being personable and engaging. He constantly checked that we were happy etc. The boat was immaculate and we had a great day diving off and swimming in the most perfectly crystal clear blue waters. Definitely recommend this boat and company

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.

Another great rental from Fabien. The boat is clean and great condition, Fabien is very flexible with timings and always on time with no waiting around. He is helpful and very thorough when explaining the boat and it's safety features. Would not hesitate to use again.

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!
