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.

5.00Nice and quiet boat ride with delicious lunch and wine. My husband and I enjoyed it. Don’t forget sunscreen, hat and sunglasses. We didn’t swim because the water was cold for us (we’re used the the warm water of Florida and the Caribbean), but we saw others swimming and they found the water just fine.
Awesome boat tour at Lerins Islands!

5.00A very nice and relaxing excursion that catered to the guest's wishes. Despite the declining wind in the afternoon, we had a very nice excursion, and the picnic basket was excellent.... The only downside was that due to the film festival (tents were blocking the entrance to the quay), the meeting point was hard to find.
Unforgettable experience

5.00I booked this trip for my partner for his 40th birthday and I am so glad I did! The day was perfect! Max was the perfect host, very knowledgeable, made us feel at ease and relaxed. He was happy to go with our plans for the day, no pressure! We enjoyed our picnic aboard which was fresh and delicious, and we were able to swim in the sea. We had ample time to explore the island of sant marguerite which was ao beautiful. My partner was able to sail the boat on the back which he loved. I would highly recommend this trip, 10/10.
Superb

5.00Absolutely wonderful day with Maxime on Mambo 2. He was very attentive and friendly. He allowed us to steer the boat under his supervision, and we always felt very safe. The picnic was a great touch. A thoroughly enjoyable time, couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Would definitely recommend booking with him.
Incredible day on the water

5.00We couldn’t have had a better experience! Our captain Maxim was so knowledgeable about sailing and let my boyfriend sail a bunch, he loved it. Maxim was very kind and laid back, he took us to an island across from Cannes where we were able to explore on our own and relax on the beach. The lunch prepared for us was delicious and fresh, we ate with a beautiful view of the mountains and water in front of us. The Rosé was great as well. Highly recommend!!! It was a highlight of our trip to Nice
