What To Expect
Port Vauban
We join the trip at the internationaly renown Port Vauban which is a French yachting harbor located in Antibes on the French Riviera. Originally a natural harbor in use since before the Roman Empire, the port was fortified by Sébastien Le Prestre, Seigneur de Vauban, later Marquis de Vauban, King Louis XIV's military engineer

Fort Carre
Leaving the Port Vauban Harbour we will see The Fort Carré which is a 16th-century star-shaped fort of four arrow-head shaped bastions, that stands on the outskirts of Antibes. Henri de Mandon built the fort and then during the 17th century, the Marquis de Vauban redeveloped it.

Great experience and would hire them again for another boat day

Mark and his crew mate Louis were fantastic, very knowledgeable about the area and a real pleasure to hang with for a gorgeous, sunny afternoon on the Côte d’Azur.
Wonderful time exploring the Cote d'Azur

We had such a lovely time out with Mark and Louis. Our family of 4 (with kids ages 12 and 9) all enjoyed the time tremendously. Mark and Louis were very attentive to our needs and often made sure those of us that sometimes get motion sickness were comfortable and at ease. We had a marvelous time snorkeling, swimming, and jumping in the water. Mark and Louis both provided interesting information about the area and were fun to be with. They were great with our kids as well. We highly recommend this trip!
Fantastic experience. Great boat. Lovely and helpful crew.

There was a slight hiccup as the third party booking agent double booked our time slot. Luckily, we were able to switch to the morning slot which was still available. I strongly suggest to just book directly with them. After the mix-up, my original timing remained available for booking at the booking site.
We had a fantastic time. Mark was always easy to contact and we relied on his suggestion as to where to go. We even managed to swim a bit near the Esterel mountains. And Louis was always ready to take our pictures for us and pour our drinks.
We had a lovely time on this boat tour. The boat was spacious and clean. We spent a week in the South of France and this was definitely one of the best experiences for us during that week.

Our family of 4 rented this private boat and it was the best thing ever!
Captain Mark (British) and his 1st mate Louis (Belgian) were amazing. Loved them both. The boat was lovely. Always a place for shade (I don’t do sun) or one can lay out in the sun on the front deck. Bathroom below deck. You can stop for a swim or snorkel as we did. (Note the beautiful clear water is a bit wavy so strong swimming skills needed)
You bring your own food/water (nothing red that would stain the white interior of the boat) and bring towels, hats, sunglasses, sunblock. Perfectly safe to bring phones on board for picture taking or to hook up to their wifi to play music.
They let our 15 year old drive the boat and she had a huge smile the whole time! We hated to leave the boat!!!
DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!
Note: we booked the tour on trip advisor (about $640 USD) but learned this did not include paying for the crew (about $250€) nor the fuel ($70 € per hour). These fees are paid at the end of the trip. But it is so worth it.
We also tipped each of these lovely men $50.00 €
in case you want tipping guidance. They were so gracious and wonderful. If we had been in the area another day, we would have gone back!!
Don’t hesitate to book this trip. Just heaven.
