Half-day Cannes catamaran cruise to the Lérins Islands with snorkeling, paddleboards, and a cold buffet lunch plus rosé.

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 195 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $109

Luxury catamaran cruise from Cannes with a real Mediterranean swim stop near the Lérins Islands, plus snorkeling gear and paddleboards.

“Great trip. Loved the laid back atmosphere on the boat and then the time to swim/paddle around the boat when we stopped. Boat not to crowded and meals above expectations. A little confusion when boarding as many other boats are boarding at similar time and difficult to find the right gate, but aside from that everything was great.”

A private 80-minute solar-powered sunset cruise in Juan-les-Pins, gliding past Cape d'Antibes villas and yachts in quiet comfort.

“Sadly the weather deteriorated and our trip had to be cut short due to the weather conditions. I had hoped to see more of the coastline and get a real sense of the area. We did have a lovely sunset and our skipper was very pleasant but I was disappointed as it was supposed to be a very special birthday celebration.”
