Imagine cruising along the sparkling Côte d’Azur on a private boat, with nothing to distract you but the scenery and good company. That’s exactly what this all-inclusive private boat trip to the Lérins Islands offers—costs covered from start to finish, so your only job is to relax and soak it all in. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want a day away from the crowds, this experience promises a laid-back, scenic adventure that’s tailored just for your group.
From the moment we first hear about it, three things stand out: the comprehensive nature of the package, the opportunity for water-based activities like swimming and paddleboarding, and the luxury of a large, well-equipped boat. The inclusion of drinks, snorkel gear, and even a shower makes it feel like a true escape. The only potential downside? The price might seem steep at $740 for up to 9 people, but when you consider everything included—skipper, fuel, equipment, and amenities—it’s a fair value for a private, stress-free day on the water. This tour is ideal for groups seeking exclusivity, comfort, and a taste of the Riviera’s finest scenery.

One guest commented, “The snorkeling equipment was high quality, and I loved the freedom to just float around and see fish and rocks beneath.”
Personalized & Private Experience
