As you sail along Théoule-sur-Mer, admire the spectacular cliffs of Pointe de l'Aiguille and their secret coves, then discover two iconic sites: the Maison Bulle and the Palais Bulle, perched on the cliff. From our Black Tenders, you will also enjoy a privileged view of Port la Galère, a private and exclusive seaside resort that is usually inaccessible and can only be seen up close from the sea. The red rocks typical of the Estérel and its Mediterranean vegetation complete this unique natural setting.

Superb experience, thanks to the team

Superb sea outing with a tour and swimming. The guide Stéphane was top-notch and the young woman at the reception as well. Remember to bring snorkeling masks. Small personal items may be brought on board, ideally in a waterproof bag.

Dramatic coastline

So exciting to see the coast line - dramatic and beautiful. We had a rough day so if the rock of the boat doesn’t suit you this trip would not be for you - but if you love boats then this trip is unbeatable

FABULOUS ADVENTURE!

Great adventure - this trip allows you to see the coast close up. The rocky coves we were able to get into with this type of boat were neat to see. Bring a sweater - the air is cooler when zipping along in the fall - and bring your bathing suit, a towel and bottle of bubbly to enjoy after a dip in the Mediterranean!
