Sail from Cannes to the Lerins Islands with a private skipper, Provençal picnic, rosé, snorkeling, swimming, and flexible island time.
“What a wonderful day spent on the water! The trip was very catered towards what we wanted. Lots of sun, swimming and yummy fresh food. It was the perfect escape for me and my husband and we would 10/10 recommend!”
Sail from Cannes to the Lerins Islands with Cyril and Marie for swimming, paddleboarding, snorkeling, snacks, and quiet Mediterranean views.
“Our experience with this tour operator was extremely disappointing. They cancelled our trip just one day before it was scheduled, citing “weather conditions” as the reason. However, the weather on the day of the tour was beautiful—clear skies and calm conditions. There was no sign of inclement weather at all. Thankfully, we were able to find another tour operator who had no problem taking us out that same day, which made the situation even more frustrating. It felt like a poor excuse, and the lack of transparency or effort to accommodate us left a very negative impression. Would not recommend based on this experience.”

Sail from Cannes to a beautiful Mediterranean island aboard Max’s small sailboat, with swimming, paddleboards, snacks, wine, and a relaxed four-hour trip.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the outing - the snacks he provided, the pizza and ice-cream we ordered while on the boat, and most of all, swimming in the beautiful water and relaxing on the boat. You will not be disappointed. So glad we got to do this and see this beautiful area of Cannes. Thank you, Max!”

Review of Cannes private sailing to the Lérins Islands, with swimming, paddleboarding, Provençal snacks, and practical booking advice.
“Thanks to Hubert for treating our family of 4 to such a wonderful day aboard Georgette. Nothing was too much trouble as we enjoyed a fantastic trip around Isle de Lérins - swimming in perfect turquoise waters, paddle boarding and snorkelling to enjoy the wonderful fish. Hubert made sure we wanted for nothing providing a wonderful platter of cold meats, cheeses and fruits washed down with plenty of local rose and as many soft drinks as the kids could drink. Georgette really is a beautiful boat and the overall experience was truly memorable. If we find ourselves in Cannes again we will certainly look Hubert up again!”
