Private boat tour. We were received very nicely. The boss himself rushed across the sea with us and his boat, although it was more like gliding. The solar boat lay very calmly on the waves. We received a lot of information about the surrounding hotels/museums/villas. About the development of the area and which celebrities or celebrities were already there. The one hour was very entertaining. You could do whatever you wanted on the boat "It's your boat. Feel free to do whatever you want. You can walk around or put your feet in the water." Unfortunately, the sun didn't come out until we were done with the tour, but nobody can do anything about that. We would definitely do it again!

Guillaume gave us an amazing experience this evening in the French Riviera! Our tour began with him asking how we would like to spend our time, emphasizing that the “boat was ours”. We felt like VIPs as we set sail in the backyards of some of the world’s wealthiest. The boat was 100% solar powered which was great for the environment and resulted in a very quiet ride for us. Guillaume pointed out famous residences and buildings as we passed by, which was very interesting! If you are in Nice, I would highly recommend coming down to Port de Beaulieu-sur-Mer and taking this lovely excursion.

This was a really nice, different type of activity to do in Nice. Very relaxing way to start the day.

We had a great time on our ride and saw beautiful homes along the way.

Very nice Weather not very favorable But beautiful
