The perfect way to see the French Rivera

5.00Our cruise with Neil was the highlight of my wife's Birthday trip to Nice! We have owned a Chris Craft similar to Neil's, and his is a perfect example of these fine boats and well cared for. His knowledge of the area was superb, and we fell into conversation like old friends instantly. We learned about the history and architecture of the area, and were even treated to views of rock stars' homes and Bill Gates' yacht. This was such an amazing way to discover the French Riverea, thank you, Neil!
Definitely an experience worth doing

5.00If you have the opportunity and there is availability, Book the tour with Neil. To start, communication was perfect with Neil. He checked in with us, shared directions and made us feel very welcomed the entire time. He was an absolute pleasure to have as our guide. They are incredibly knowledgeable of the area, the people and culture. We walked away from our trip feeling amazing. From the paired wine and desserts to the swimming off the coast. My wife and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience :) Thanks again Neil, until next time.
10/10! Exceptional and unique private boating experience

5.00Don't hesitate to book this luxurious activity and tour! Neil was a FANTASTIC guide and his beautiful and luxurious boat was easily one of the best experiences during our time in the French Riviera! It was immediately clear that Neil's love and passion for living in the area is why he shares with so many others. We not only spent hours seeing the most beautiful parts of the riviera from the water including St Jean Cap Ferrat, swimming and learning the history of each area, we also most enjoyed swapping stories and tales with Neil. Neil was also super flexible to tailor our tour to what we wanted to see and do. His snorkeling gear and refreshments provided on the boat were wonderful as well! Thank you for a wonderful time and we look forward to returning soon!
Wonderful!!!

5.00What a fantastic way to spend an afternoon cruising up and down the coastline and swimming in the French Riviera. Our host and captain, Neil, was personable, attentive, extremely easy to talk with, and a wealth of information about the houses and yachts we were seeing throughout the trip. By the end of our time together, we felt like we were longtime friends. When my wife and I are back in the area, we will absolutely contact Neil for another great day out on the water.
10/10

5.00My sister and I were looking to treat ourselves with some boating while we were in the South of France, and we couldn't have picked a better activity with a better captain. Not only were the views and water spectacular, but Neil was a wonderful host. Besides giving us history and information about the area, we had great conversation for the entirety of our tour! He made sure that we not only had the best time on the water, but also for the remainder of our trip in Nice, recommending activities and some of the best food we had while in France. 10/10 would recommend!
Excellent!!

The afternoon was customized to our interests including adjusted to be kid-friendly. Neil is local and very knowledgeable about the area. He had helpful advice for the whole trip. I highly recommend!
