Sit back, relax, and admire the most stunning landscapes of the Mediterranean coast. On board, sail along the Estérel coves, a true hidden gem of the Var coast in Saint-Raphaël, and float on the turquoise waters of the Lérins Islands just off Cannes.
Southeastern France and the Mediterranean are waiting for you, ready to offer an experience to share with family or friends.
What better way to uncover the most beautiful corners of the magnificent French Riviera than peacefully on a boat with the breeze on your skin? The coves, red rocks, seaside resorts, charming little ports, and even billionaires’ villas will be yours to admire during a memorable cruise.
Wherever you are on the French Riviera, in the Var or in the Alpes-Maritimes, you can set sail from Saint-Raphaël, Agay, Mandelieu-la-Napoule, Cannes, Nice, Cogolin, Le Lavandou, Cavalaire, or even Hyères.
Pick your departure port and embark on an extraordinary adventure for either half a day or a full day—whatever suits you! If you’re lucky, you might even spot dolphins along the way! Your skipper will be delighted to guide you to the best spots to drop anchor and enjoy a swim!
Each departure port offers different destinations—there’s truly something for everyone.
On a boat excursion, destination is everything! Luckily, the places offered by Expérience Côte d’Azur are all more incredible than the last.
Once you’ve chosen your destination, all that’s left is to pick your boat type. Will you go for the fun of a semi-rigid boat or the gentle sway of a sailing boat? 😉
Several options are available depending on the type of vessel: 12-seater semi-rigid boats (speedboats), maxi-catamarans, sailboats, or classic motorboats offering guided tours.
Nothing beats a trip on a 12-seater boat to explore the Estérel Massif. Follow the captain along the coastline in a small group. These boats can carry up to 12 people and allow you to navigate through the Estérel’s secret caves, passing under rocky arches and along steep coves. In a relaxed atmosphere, take the plunge into warm, clear waters during a swim break in a secluded cove specially selected by your captain.
Access hidden coves and enjoy unique thrills aboard this speedboat! It can easily pick up speed without jarring movement, making it perfect for fun and adventure in the French Riviera’s most secretive coves.
Take a catamaran or maxi-catamaran for an exceptional cruise, letting you discover treasures of the French Riviera invisible from the beaches. Watching a sunset or fireworks from a catamaran is a unique experience to share with friends or family.
You can also sail along the red rocks of the Estérel or the Maures Massif near Saint-Tropez on one of our sailing trips, available for a full day, half day, or evening cruise, depending on your preference. Stop in remote coves for a swim or snorkeling. You’ll also be accompanied by a professional skipper who can teach you basic sailing terms and share local secrets about the Var coast.
Enjoy a family-friendly outing on a guided tour of the Saint-Raphaël coves aboard a shuttle boat.
If you’d rather avoid being with other passengers and plan a more private excursion, Expérience Côte d’Azur has what you need with boat rentals or privatized outings.
If you want an excursion exclusively with friends or family, there are plenty of boat rentals departing from around Saint-Raphaël and across the entire coast. There are also private outings with a skipper.
If you have a boat license, select from the available offers the one you like most and become captain of your own vessel, taking your group to admire the stunning coastal landscapes.
Don’t have a boat license? Opt for a license-free boat or a rental with a skipper for a more private and autonomous excursion.
For special events or simply to treat yourself, you can also privatize a boat and be guided by a skipper thanks to our private cruise offers.
The French Riviera never stops surprising. Choose your ideal excursion and head home with unforgettable memories!
