Experience the magic of Nice from the water on an enchanting morning catamaran cruise

The Promenade des Anglais was established in the 1820s by English aristocrats who spent their winters in Nice, and ever since, the Baie des Anges has represented the elegance of the Riviera. The soft morning light on the water creates a calming mix of blues and silvers, a peaceful sight before the midday heat kicks in.

Our catamaran tour leaves at 9:20 AM, following the full curve of the Promenade before heading to Villefranche, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the coastal architecture. This 3-hour trip is easy to fit into your day, and with a 10% discount for groups, it’s a great way to enjoy a spontaneous outing with friends—a little effort that can lead to wonderful memories.

 

Beaulieu‑sur‑Mer and Cap Ferrat; two spots you can’t afford to miss when in Nice
Beaulieu-sur-Mer's name translates to "Beautiful Place by the Sea," a fitting title it has proudly carried since the 19th century when it became a favored getaway for European royalty. The bay is one of the most sheltered spots along the Riviera, making it an ideal place to drop anchor and soak in the stunning views of this lovely coastal gem from the water.

This catamaran cruise includes a stop at Beaulieu-sur-Mer, where paddleboards are available for those eager to explore the shoreline. Thanks to the maxi-catamaran's shallow draft, it can glide into hidden nooks that larger boats simply can't access—offering a wonderfully private experience that makes the morning feel extra special.
