The experience

The boat leaves downtown Cannes at 18:30 and heads out to Sainte-Marguerite and Saint Honorat, the two islands that make up the Lérins archipelago. You travel with a skipper who knows the water and can point out the islands' character: a quieter side of the Côte d'Azur than the crowded Croisette. The evening slot means you catch the islands as the day cools and the light softens, and you avoid the daytime boat traffic.

Masks and snorkels are on board, so you can slip into the water if the mood takes you. The boat itself is built for comfort: you relax on deck while the skipper handles the navigation. Bring food and drink (wine, cheese, charcuterie, whatever suits the evening), and settle in. The whole outing runs three hours, ending by 21:30.

Parking is available near the departure point in Cannes. The skipper fee of 200€ is added to your bill on the day of the excursion. Children under three and people with reduced mobility are not suited to this boat. It is also not recommended for pregnant travelers or anyone with cardiovascular concerns.

Is this one for you?The skipper speaks French and English naturally as part of the evening. If you are comfortable following along in either language, the commentary flows without translation. This is a private boat, so the pace and stops are yours to shape with the skipper: ideal if you want to linger at one island or move between both without a fixed schedule.
