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!

Eric was fantastic. He took a group of 5 of us on a half day charter out towards the Île de Re. Unfortunately there was not much wind but that did not stop us having a great day with him fishing, relaxing and enjoying a great day. Thanks Eric and we will see you again soon!

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!!

We booked a day charter for 15 people foe a tour of the Lerin Islands. It was a perfect day. The boat was immaculate and had so much space. Jean Pierre and Stephanie were perfect hosts. Would highly recommend the experience to anyone.

I would give 10 stars out of 5 if I could! Giles & his skipper Frederic were fantastic start to finish, I usually do a boat day most destinations and this was by far the best we have had! Nothing we asked for was too much and they gave us great knowledge of the islands and surrounding areas! Highly highly highly recommend. Can’t wait to see them again.

Mont Saint Clair allows you to prepare while being protected from the north wind and the same on the way back. Sète is a very beautiful city with very beautiful sailboats.

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