Très bonne prestation
Facile à réserver, bon rapport qualité prix, personnel très sympathique à l'accueil et sur le bateau. Je recommande
Traversée courte et agréable
La réservation a été faite sur Internet. Aucun problème une fois sur place pour la délivrance des tickets. Tout s'est bien passé à l'aller comme au retour. Le port du masque était obligatoire et tout le monde s'y est conformé. Nous avons bien pu profiter de notre journée sur l'Ile Sainte Marguerite. Le parking au port de Cannes nous a permis d'y laisser notre voiture sans aucune difficulté. Nous recommandons cette activité.
