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.

Alexandru was a lovely host, and his boat was immaculate. He was great at communicating ahead of the day and met us right on time. We had a lovely day, especially swimming in the bay.

Enjoyed the trip from Antibes despite departure being delayed due to Port Authorities not granting permission to exit the port - meant we lost an hour. Went round to Cannes bay - swimming and used the 'tube' - great fun - tough on the arms! Went ashore for lunch. More swimming after. Regret not asking to go to an island as well. Also wish we had a go at driving the boat! - next time!

Excellent host. Fast and comfortable boat. Easily fit 10 people. Host happily accepted our boating license. Gave us good advice on where and where not to go to stay safe in the weather conditions. Thoroughly enjoyed the day out and everything including return of deposit was smooth and easy

Isabelle was great, we had a few issues with the boat (we weren’t great at sailing) but they were very kind an accommodating. Would book a boat through them again.

An absolutely brilliant experience! Booking was extremely efficient. Communication with Stephanie was superb and she listens to what you want and tailors the day to your requests. The boat is absolutely perfect. Immaculately presented, clean, fast and a lot of space for sun bathing at the front and swim deck at the back. Look no further, we're already looking to book again in a few weeks! Merci!
