5.00Great experience at Miniboat Sète! It was my very first "navigation" and I was a bit stressed at first, but our guide was really lovely, reassuring, and very pedagogical. The ride is fantastic. An original and very nice way to discover Sète. I highly recommend it!
Great trip

5.00It’s the most fun we had all week. You need to be physically able to get in and out of the cute boats. The tour operaters were knowledgeable and sweet. The Miniboats make great photos too!
Childhood toy brought to life! ♥️

5.00It was so full of fun and the mini boat looks so cute ! It was easy to control and as safe as it said. It's like bringing the childhood toys into life size. The trip wasn't long and one part of it had to be canceled under weather situation. The guide and crew member were great and helpful. There was a walkie talkie affixed on the boat to receive what the guide says. Yet, do not expect much illustrations about the spot. All in all a very enjoyable experience!
Magnificent

5.00A magical experience on the waters of Sète! From the start, Virginie made us feel at ease with her kindness and infectious enthusiasm. She knows Sète inside and out and shares her great tips and anecdotes with rare generosity. The best part? She was able to awaken the captain that was sleeping in each of us! An unforgettable and refreshing outing, a must-do. Thank you, Virginie! 🚤🌊

5.00Really great. I recommend it. Don't hesitate to stop by and have a wonderful time with Nathalie ☺️ My friend Maeva and I loved our time together. It was great. We strolled on the water, visited, and our fantastic guide explained everything well, gave advice, etc. She took photos of us to have memories. Really very kind. This is honestly the activity to do when coming to Sete. So don't wait any longer and come have your best time too ☺️
Best way to see Sete!
