Leave Port Lympia with a small group of up to 12 for a fast-paced coastal cruise past Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Anchor in sheltered Villefranche Bay for a swim or snorkel, homemade Niçois snacks and wine, then watch the sunset on the way back. Captains and guides have included Jean-Baptiste, Leo, Paul and Antoine, though the crew can vary.

“Absolutely unforgettable sunset tour with Leo & Jean-Baptiste! What an incredible way to say goodbye to Nice. From start to finish it was pure joy, we laughed so much, spent ages swimming in the sea while we waited for the sunset sesh. The wine was amazing, the pizza delicious, and the whole evening felt like a dream. On top of that, I even made new friends along the way… the kind of memories that make traveling so special. This was actually my second tour with them, and honestly I’d come back every single time. Leo and Jean-Baptiste def the best! fun, relaxed, and full of good energy. Truly the best…”

10.Private catamaran trip in the Bay of Juan les Pins at sunset

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 6 reviews

Set out from SeaZen marina for an 80-minute private sunset cruise along Juan-les-Pins and Cap d’Antibes. A guide points out famous villas and the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc from a quiet, odorless, solar-powered boat that can approach the coast closely. The price covers up to five people; French and English guides are available.

“Sadly the weather deteriorated and our trip had to be cut short due to the weather conditions. I had hoped to see more of the coastline and get a real sense of the area. We did have a lovely sunset and our skipper was very pleasant but I was disappointed as it was supposed to be a very special birthday celebration.”
