5.00We had the best time on this sailing excursion with Maxime! We had a group of 3 girls and just enjoyed getting to sail around and relax. We got swim around and jump off the boat which is really all we wanted to do. The veggie tray was a highlight of this tour and everything was so tasty! We opted out off getting of the boat and walking around the island where the monks are, but I'm sure it would have been very cool to see. The length of the excursion was great, and did not feel rushed, we also thought the price was very fair for what all was included. We were comfortable with 3 girls on the boat, but think that more than 3 might would be tight! Overall we had such an amazing time and would highly recommend to other groups or couple who want to go sailing on the French Rivera!
Great tour!

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.
