Private Full-Day Luxury Cruise to Lérins Islands from Cannes

Seven hours on the water: swim in turquoise anchorages, snorkel the submerged museum, paddle the coast, and set your own pace

A seven-hour private cruise departing Cannes for the Lérins Islands, aboard a luxury Saxdor 320 GTO with a tailor-made itinerary built around your preferences. You swim and snorkel at the underwater eco-museum, paddleboard along the coast, and relax on spacious sunbeds in calm anchorages only accessible by boat. The itinerary can shift toward Cap d'Antibes or the Esterel coastline depending on sea conditions and what you want to do. Water, wine, snorkeling gear, paddleboard, and sun canopy are included. A skipper is optional.

The experience

Seven hours is long enough to reach the Lérins Islands without feeling rushed, and short enough to leave your morning or evening free. You depart Cannes and glide across the Bay of Cannes toward waters so clear you can see the seabed from the boat. The itinerary is yours to shape: stop to swim in a calm anchorage, snorkel the underwater eco-museum, paddleboard along the shoreline, or simply stretch out on the sunbeds while the boat drifts. Fort Royal on Île Sainte-Marguerite and the monks' island of Saint-Honorat are visible from the water, but you're not on a fixed route ticking off landmarks. You're on your own schedule, in your own space.

The Saxdor 320 GTO is built for comfort and performance: spacious sunbeds, a Bluetooth sound system, a sun canopy overhead, and a refined atmosphere that makes time feel slower. Bottled water and wine are onboard. Snorkeling gear and a paddleboard are ready to use. If you want an underwater scooter (a SEABOB), that's available as an add-on. The boat can pivot toward alternative coastlines (dramatic coves and hidden beaches along Cap d'Antibes or the Esterel) if sea conditions favor it or if that's where you'd rather spend the day.

A skipper is optional and costs €500 if you want one. Without a skipper, you're navigating and anchoring yourself, which works if you have boat experience. With one, you have a professional handling the helm so you can focus entirely on the water and the company you're with.
