Saint Raphaël | L'Après-midi Farniente | Estérel & Île d'Or
Description
Laissez-vous porter… c’est l’heure du farniente. Embarquez à bord de nos maxi-catamarans pour une après-midi en mer placée sous le signe de la détente, entre paysages grandioses et mouillage idyllique au cœur des roches rouges de l’Estérel. Le long de la côte, les paysages défilent devant vous : cap Dramont, baie d’Agay, calanques sauvages, jusqu’à une crique préservée entre le cap Roux et le viaduc d’Anthéor où le catamaran jette l’ancre. Ici, pas de programme imposé : c’est vous qui choisissez. Paddle, snorkeling… ou simplement farniente. Un apéritif (punch planteur) vous est servi à bord. La navigation se prolonge ensuite tranquillement, avec un passage par la calanque des Contrebandiers et l’emblématique Île d’Or, ce rocher qui inspira Hergé pour “L'Île Noire” dans les aventures de Tintin. Tout est inclus : navigation, équipage, mouillage, paddles, snorkeling, boissons softs et apéritif (punch planteur). Rien à ajouter à bord : juste profiter de l’instant.

It was smooth sailing. Crew was very informative of the surrounding scenery. Enjoyed the cruise and staff.
Infinite thanks to the whole team, Salomé for her professionalism and friendliness, Serge who was celebrating his 66th birthday on the boat, Nils for his beautiful smile and all his kindness, and our super DJ Courgette who created an insane atmosphere!!! A truly top-notch team; my friend Swan in an electric wheelchair was welcomed very well. We had a wonderful time. We highly recommend this activity for a beautiful sea trip and these beautiful coves.
Beautiful, well maintained maxi catamaran, and beautiful route along the coast with great swimming spot. We had booked the English version but it was mostly French. Basic information in English, but little additional. Perhaps we were unlucky, but the combination of the alchohol and loud music made it a bit of a party boat on the way back. Very cozy if you love it, but as a family with children we have experienced better memories versions of these kinds of trips. For less money.
A truly relaxing afternoon on this well-organized catamaran. Very nice and helpful staff. On board, we were able to have a sort of long snack with unlimited drinks. Wonderful places, very clean boat. If the opportunity arises, we will do it again.
Disappointment with this cruise; anchoring for way too long, almost 2 hours, in a place with no interest. No entertainment on the boat and very little commentary....
It was a very nice excursion. We were able to swim in the sea as well as see the sights. We had booked the tour in English, unfortunately the announcements were all in French. The crew had not anchored the catamaran properly and suddenly another large boat was getting closer and closer. Everyone jumped out of the water in a panic and the crew had to help some people before we crashed into the other boat. For a moment all passengers were panicked, as we did not see if anyone was still in the water. The owner of the other boat was very angry and hit someone from the crew over the railing with his boat hook. After that, we drove the boat a little way away. Since no one was injured, we got away with a scare. We think that should not happen on such a tour; the crew has the responsibility to secure the boat. Apart from these 5 minutes of fright, it was really a very nice afternoon.
Beautiful tour along the coast from Saint Raphaël to the viaduct in Agay. Beautiful bay and you have enough time to bathe and snorkel. Nice chilled music on board, very nice crew and a great atmosphere. Recommended!
Super crew Super nice Punch, fruit salad and waffles all good The boat is clean and nice There is everything you need to be well and enjoy swimming time. Thanks to the whole team and is Lorenzo on the net for the world championships? 😀😃 Good continuation
We booked this excursion on the recommendation of the Saint-Raphaël tourist office, as it was presented as suitable for young children. The outing began well with beautiful scenery, but unfortunately ended very poorly. On the return journey (about an hour), the crew played music at an extremely high volume, more like a nightclub than a family outing. It was unbearable and clearly harmful for children; several parents were covering their kids’ and babies’ ears. Despite politely asking two different crew members to lower the volume, both said it was “not possible” because a party atmosphere was “part of the package.” Nowhere was this excursion described as a “boat party,” and it would have been entirely possible to create a lively atmosphere at a reasonable volume. This was a huge disappointment, and I cannot recommend it for families with young children. To make matters worse, when I later posted my feedback on their social media (taking the time to write in French), they simply deleted it rather than respond, further showing a lack of respect toward customers. The scenery itself was stunning, and I do recommend taking a boat excursion in the area — but with a different company if traveling with small children.
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are truly sorry to read that your experience did not meet your expectations. While we are delighted you enjoyed the beauty of the scenery, we regret that the atmosphere on the return journey was not suitable for you and your family. Please be assured that the vast majority of our passengers are families with children, and our excursions are not sold nor intended as “boat parties.” Your feedback is important, and we will of course pass this on to our team in order to make the necessary adjustments and ensure the atmosphere on board remains enjoyable for everyone. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future, under conditions that will fully meet your expectations.
The boat is great, the crew very friendly. It's honest in terms of price/presta... sweet afternoon. The other passengers not really regular about turning the spaces to land, as often each for his apple which mitigates a bit the very pleasant side! But not disappointed!
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé une agréable après-midi et apprécié l’équipage ainsi que le confort du catamaran. Nous regrettons toutefois que l’attitude de certains passagers ait pu atténuer votre expérience et espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour une sortie encore plus réussie.
