5.00I booked this tour weeks ahead of our trip and didn’t remember the details when it came to the date. Seeing the boat in person I was a bit disappointed. That being said, it was a great tour. The guide was informative and we all had a head time. We were able to swim in the water and have time in a a Villefranche. Very basic as far as amenities, but still pleasantly happy in the end. Things to note; no bathroom on board, bring your own towel and water. Can get chilly without wind.
Best use of your time in Nice.

5.00JB was a superstar. Very entertaining way of presenting the coast towns. Highly recommend! The water was crystal clear and with the crew’s equipment you could snorkel and swim around the cave. The stop we made at one of the small towns before Nice was charming, just enough time to have a glass of wine and ice cream. 10/10
This is your sign to book the tour!

5.00Captain Paul was a riot and deserves a raise!!! He was very knowledgeable about the villages, gave us a ton of fun facts and bumped the best tunes. The best way to see the French Riviera is on this boat if you are looking for a thrill. The boat does goes really fast but it’s so much fun. Swimming in the clear water was a highlight of the tour and stopping in the town for breakfast! 20/10 would recommend!
Fun fast boat!
