Sunset cruise and dip in the Mediterranean - Bring your Suit!!!

This was a lovely sunset cruise. We were on a small cruiser that had seating for 14 or 16. I believe there were 12 of us on our boat. Our tour guide was very informative and shared stories and information about each of the sites we were passing. I didn't care for some of the music played (I believe it was linked to the areas where we were) but one of the songs was a rap song with foul language and in my opinion did not add anything positive to the experience. Was much happier when the song was over!!! Little difficult to understand our tour guides accent but he was speaking English and his English is 100% better than my French. There is a stop for about 45 minutes when you can take a dip in the Mediterranean. Somehow I missed that in the description. No problem, I didn't miss out, I got in the water in my dress! There is snorkel gear and noodles provided if interested. Focaccia Bread, Rose wine, and Water provided at the swimming stop. We stopped at 2 different sunset views and both were beautiful. Had a few speed bursts as well on the way back which everyone seemed to enjoy. We had a great group of people on this tour which added to the fun. It was wonderful to see the coastline of Nice from the water!

A great water tour of Nice

Beautiful views of Nice with Nathan at the helm. He was personable, knowledgeable, and funny. Having a stop for an optional swim, some wine and drinks, and a bite to eat were a complete surprise. The boat design was a surprise but were fooled once we got underway. Our group of 8 were in our 70’s but had no problem getting on and off the boat.

Wonderful time!

What a great way to begin our vacation. We got off the plane, freshened up, walked through old town and then to meet the boat tour group. Antoine was our captain and was a delight! He was safe, fun, and took the time to explain what we were seeing and made it funny and interesting. He had wine and ciabatta for us. Would highly recommend seeing Nice and adjacent coastline from this vantage point!

Operator response

Straight from the plane to the boat… I like your style 😂 Thanks for choosing to start your vacation with me! I really enjoyed having you on board and I hope the rest of your trip was just as much fun. Thanks for the recommendation!

Thank you Nathan!

Such a perfect way to see the coastline and have a ton of fun doing it. Our guide Nate was amazing, so informative and funny. Everything you want from a tour guide. Make sure wear a swimsuit too you will definitely want to jump in the water when you’re anchored. Plenty of wine and fresh baked focaccia (from Nate’s girlfriend). Truly a magical experience!

Operator response

Thank you so much! 😄 I’m glad you had such a good time with me.
