Had a beautiful day on the sea! Incredible views, great spots to swim and just relax for the afternoon. Constantine was very accommodating with conversation, water and Rose. (FYI - We brought our own snacks)
Thank you very much, I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it, I wish you the best
Very knowledgeable guide. Great way to spend time in the French Rivera with a family. Constantin was very accommodating during the trip. Thank you for a wonderful time!
Hello, I glad you had a great time, thank you very much and I hope to see you again. I wish you the best.
Constantine was great! He was relaxed, easy going and very knowledgeable about all the homes and boats we passed. After seeing the mega boats in the Monico harbor we had plenty of time left to visit a quiet cove for swimming and exploring a natural cave. My teenagers loved that he let them choose the music. I did the research and this is the nicest private tour that is also affordable offered. Would do the same trip again!
Thank you very much for the amazing review, I very happy to hear you enjoyed it. I hope I'll see you again. Thanks
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had the most incredible time on our private boat tour with Constantin! It was just the two of us, and he made the whole experience feel completely effortless and personalized. Constantin was so relaxed and easygoing — he went with the flow on everything. Wherever we wanted to go, whatever we wanted to do, he was totally down and gave great recommendations. That kind of flexibility made the whole day feel like it was truly ours. The boat, the views, and the overall vibe were absolutely perfect. If you're looking for a private tour, Constantin is your guy. We can't recommend him enough and would book again in a heartbeat!
Our family had a great time with our incredible host Constantin. We had an epic day on the water seeing beautiful sites, swimming in clear water, and enjoying the ocean. Constantin was professional, personable, and very family oriented. We can’t say enough great things about our experience and we highly recommended it. 5 stars all the way!
Thank you very much for the review, I'm glad to hear you had a good time you have an amazing family, I wish you the best and I hope I'll see you again.
We were a family that splurged for the 4 hour tour to cap off our vacation, while I’m glad to have had the experience, it was not what I expected. We spent 2 hours boating from Nice to Monaco, and ultimately couldn’t get into the port of Monaco due to a massive yacht/barge taking the space. Constantin said the wait could be 30 mins and we were eager to get food for our kids, so we left. (No big deal.) We asked for a place to grab a quick bite and Constantin dropped us at a beach with one food option: a sit down restaurant where the pasta is 50 euros! We made it as quick a meal as possible and paid the 20 euro dock fee to get back on the boat with one hour remaining. Constantin then said there was not enough time to snorkel anywhere else unless we were ok with him leaving us there and we could Uber back (his words). So, back we go by boat. We reached Villefranche in 25 minutes and we asked him to just drop us there so we could some swim time in, which is the main reason we booked the tour. He dropped us off at 3 hours 25 minutes, so we didn’t really make use of the full 4 hours. I felt rushed to end the tour even though we turned out to have extra time at the end. (Villefranche is within a few minutes of Nice.) I was hoping for an experience like the photos, including a quick swim in a cove. I would recommend this tour to folks who like to sit on the boat and enjoy the view from afar. Constantin’s boat is very pretty and seems well-kept. If you want to snorkel or see the coastline up close, perhaps make that very clear up front. I wish you better luck than us! Another word to the wise: pack your own lunch if you take the 10am-2pm tour and want to maximize your time. We don’t drink alcohol, so all we received onboard was one bottle of water. It would’ve been rough for adults to skip lunch, and with the kids it was a non-negotiable to make a stop for food.
Hi Valerie, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am glad you found the boat beautiful and well-kept, and I think your family are truly wonderful people. However, looking back at our trip, there are clear contradictions between what was expected and the operational realities of a private boat charter. I would love to clarify these points openly: The Dock Fees & The Restaurant: You mentioned the €20 fee. To clarify the confusion here: the private dock charges a €5-per-person shuttle service to take guests between the dock and anchored boats. When you returned to my boat, you paid €20 directly to that shuttle service for your family. However, when I first dropped you off, no shuttle boat was available. To get your hungry family ashore quickly, I docked my own boat directly without permission. The marina later fined me €20 for doing this, which I paid entirely out of my own pocket without asking you for a dime. I also have no control over or affiliation with the €50 pasta prices at the local restaurant. The Mala Beach Cave & The Swim: You mentioned missing out on the cave experience. To clarify, I dropped anchor right next to the Mala Beach cave specifically so you could swim there. However, because your family decided to leave the boat to go ashore and eat, spending 1 hour and 20 minutes at the restaurant, that anchor time was used for lunch instead of swimming. The Early Drop-off: You felt rushed when I dropped you off in Villefranche at 1:40 PM instead of 2:00 PM. However, your tour was booked to start and end in Nice. The boat ride from Villefranche back to Nice takes exactly 20 to 30 minutes due to strict 5-knot speed limits in the bay. By dropping you off in Villefranche at 1:40 PM at your request, I used the exact remaining duration of your 4-hour tour to accommodate your desire to swim there, rather than spending those final 20 minutes motoring back to Nice to pick up the next customers, otherwise I could stay a bit more for free. Drinks: I am deeply sorry you felt under-supplied with water. I asked multiple times throughout the trip if anyone needed anything to drink, but the response was consistently "no." Ultimately, a 4-hour tour is a tight window to travel from Nice to Monaco and back. When over an hour of that time is shifted into a sit-down lunch ashore, the time originally allocated for activities at anchor naturally disappears. I truly believe this was a series of unfortunate misunderstandings, and I wish you and your lovely family all the best.
A wonderful private experience for my small family. Constantin was such a nice boat captain and overall it was just a gorgeous and relaxing boat ride. I think people can definitely make this experience their own - could be with music on the boat + lots of wine etc or just enjoying the views and taking a dip! (I did bring an extra bottle of champagne for my and my husband which was fun!) We did a bit of both and it was a fantastic way to spend the afternoon. Thanks Constantin!
Thank you very much, I'm happy to hear you had a great time, I hope to see you again, I wish you the best, for my future customers, you can brink food, drinks pretty much anything on the boat.
If you are contemplating this trip, do it, you will be so glad you did. Constantine is a great host!
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope I'll see you soon.
One of the highlights of our trip to the area! We had hoped to head to Monaco but it was pretty bumpy. Captain gave us the option of continuing or pivot to go to bay in Villefranche where we cruised along gorgeous yachts, drank wine and swam. Highly recommended. Captain Constantin is a gem of a fella, kind, accommodating, good at what he does. Highly recommend.
Thank you very much for such a good review, makes me happy to know you had a good time.
Great day with Constantine! He was courteous, on time, and allowed us to go at our own pace. Showed us all the nice spots.
I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks very much, I hope I see you soon.
