The elegant waterfront unfolds with its iconic Belle Époque villas, including the legendary Villa Kerylos, a replica of an ancient Greek palace, standing proudly along the shore. The Port de Plaisance brims with yachts and sailboats, reflecting the area’s reputation as a haven for the wealthy and the artistic. The bay’s calm, turquoise waters lap against the pebbled Plage des Fourmis, a favorite spot for swimmers, while the lush greenery of the Cap Ferrat peninsula frames the scene to the east

5.00We were looking for a boat ride for the off season (as it's hard to find) and came across this. The boat is quiet because it's solar electric. It is exactly as the picture shows. The guide was nice and gave information on the sights along the coastline that surrounds the harbor.
So far, so good, solar, sailor

5.00A great trip, our hosts Guillaume and Jean-Michel were very welcoming, knowledgable and fun. Would highly recommend and would hope to do the 2 hour trip next time, we didn’t book early enough so if anyone has doubt - just book! I’m a keen environmentalist and it’s great people are doing these things and tourism is also a sector that can support sustainable and fun activities.
Super nice morning

5.00Great experience, such a good way to get to know the coast from Beaulieu to Cap Ferrat. We even had time to dive and swim. The boat being powered by solar energy wasn’t noisy at all so it was very relaxing, and we loved our sweet guide lucile, she was knowledgeable and fun, 100% recommend!

5.00Since my wife is more a person who does not feel to save on the sea, this was the ideal way to start our Nice experience. It was a nice and slow tugging around the harbor of Nice with some nice story telling from the captn
Wonderful boat ride

5.00We really enjoyed our boat ride! The location was easy to find. We were able to customize the experience so that we could swim. Guillaume provided floaties and snorkel sets to us for the swim. The boat was very comfortable to ride on, we enjoyed sitting on the front the most. We would definitely do this again.
Relaxing and affordable boat rental

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Guillaume. He was very knowledgeable of the area, easy going, and accommodating. We loved his solar powered boat. It was relaxing and also had enough power to get through waves caused by other boats in the area. I highly recommend renting his boat. It was the most affordable option in the area and a very pleasant experience.
Très joli!

Peaceful ride on the water

5.00This was a great experience for my husband and myself. We were told from the beginning that it was our time on the water and to let our guide know what we wanted that to look like....then delivered that to us. Also, we didn't have time to stop and get anything to drink before we got on the boat so we were taken to a little store (by boat) so we could purchase what we wanted. Great customer service!!!
Peaceful boat cruise

5.00Enjoyed a peaceful boat ride on the water soaking in the views of the hillside towns and the sun. What a beautiful day at sea! It was a terrific private tour tailored specifically to us by our excellent boat captain. It was a nice contrast to the typical busy tourist itinerary.
