French Riviera trip ideas depend on whether travelers want glamour, nature, or a mix of both. They generally include the stretch of coastline between Nice and St. Tropez. This area perfectly captures the essence of the Côte d’Azur, with its turquoise waters, sheltered coves (especially those of the Esterel), pine-fringed shores and iconic island scenery just a short sail from the mainland.
This is exactly what our boat charter in Mandelieu la Napoule offers through this private catamaran experience. You sail towards a must of the French Riviera, the Lérins Islands, with time for swimming, paddleboarding, and relaxing in crystal-clear waters, before enjoying a convivial aperitif on board—especially magical at sunset. With a skipper guiding the itinerary and handling navigation, the experience becomes effortless, allowing you to fully enjoy this iconic Riviera escape.
