Description

Check-out from the Old Port of Cannes, I suggest you discover the coastline by sailing to Sainte-Marguerite Island in the Lérins archipelago. I would share my passion for sailing, with my restored vintage sailboat, an 8 m Jeanneau Sangria. Lunchtime will include a picnic at anchor or at the dock, with anchovy and tzatziki (homemade), with a cart of vegetables and rosé wine. Then you will have the opportunity to sail in the Bay of Cannes. I will share my sailing experience and you can participate in the boat maneuvers for adventure lovers. You can also swim in the crystal clear waters, discover the seabed with diving masks and enjoy this friendly sailboat. Swimming towels and diving masks will be included. From 1st to 20th September, the Check-out will be from the port of Théoule-sur-mer.

Exceptional experience!

Maxime was an excellent host! Let us even operate his boat. He was extremely kind and patient. Lunch was a platter of assorted vegetables from local markets with homemade tzatziki and anchovy sauce. Bread and melon were also served. It was exceptional. Docked at one of the islands and let us walk around and swim. This was an awesome experience and give it the highest recommendation!!!

Best Part of Our Côte d'Azur Trip

We had an absolutely wonderful time cruising to the Îles de Lérins. Truly a dream brought to reality! Maxime was a gracious host, willing to converse and help us with our practice en français, and thoroughly capable in English when our French was lacking. Despite a windier day than normal, he made sure we traveled at a comfortable speed the whole journey. We were also able to lend a small hand sailing, although Maxime handled the boat himself with grace and speed. A fantastic market-fresh spread of veggies, a bottle of rosé, and some fabulous homemade tzaziki and anchovie sauce was provided for a delicious picnic on the water. The water was perfect and we very much enjoyed swimming between the islands while the picnic was prepared. A brief relaxation in the sun on the front of the boat after lunch was delightful, and a great way to work through some jet lag. The return journey was quite smooth even in the higher than normal winds, due to the captain's professionalism and prepared-ness. You must take this trip!

Maxim provided excellent...

Maxim provided excellent hospitality and company. We learned about sailing, local modern information/history! If you are sun sensitive being sunscreen and layers as you are in the sun for 6hrs. Bring good shoes to walk on the island, as it is about a mile of hiking paths and occasionally rocky. The statues are a bit tricky to find and deeper underwater than anticipated
