This was a no-nonsense boat outing that was just great. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Nice. It is a black rubber boat on which about 12 people straddle two parallel tubes down the middle with substantial handles to hold on to. The driver appeared to speak no English but it was not a problem at all. And the trip was all young 20-somethings, other than me, the mom of three 20-somethings. We scooted out of the bay in Nice with a fun but not frightening amount of speed, traveled along the coast for a while, and then stopped in a charming bay for about 25 minutes of swimming. It was just lovely. Then back onto the boat and back to the bay in Nice. The scenery was not to be believed. Highly recommend this trip.

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.

it was something completely different compared to other ordinary ships, we could jump into the sea. we are very satisfied, we liked it a lot

Great trip. Great fun if you like the water. We got 15 mins to enjoy a swim in a nice cove so not too deep either.

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