Nathalie & Paolos boat was perfect! Paolo met us on site and showed us the boat in detail, it is very well maintained and we had a paddle boat and snorkeling equipment to use. They even prepared wine and waters in a cooler to make it even more perfect! Communication was outstanding and it was the best rental of a boat I have ever experienced! If we ever return to Cannes, we will definitely rent again! I can 100% recommend this booking! Thank you very much Nathalie & Paolo! :)

We chartered this yacht for half a day for 5 people, it exceeded our expectations! The communication from the skippers was incredible, they were very helpful and attentive, always willing to answer any questions we had. The skipper took us to a few different places to swim and sightsee and was incredibly knowledgeable about the surroundings, telling us interesting facts and lovely places to eat, as well as must-sees whilst in the area. The yacht was a great size, especially for the 5 of us, with all the amenities you could wish for on-board! I would 100000% recommend this yacht for charter, Frank and his team are so lovely and make sure you get the most for your money! Thanks for an amazing experience, we’ll be back!

Franck was incredible. He only speak French, but had a wonderful app to make sure we understood him at all times. His boat was extremely clean he offered us various snacks, drinks, sunscreen, hats throughout the afternoon to ensure we were comfortable. He was very attentive to us as a group and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time. Highly recommend booking with him and I will do so next time I am in Nice.

In general the Boat was grate, the Team that handed over the boat was grate. It was a lot of fun to rent the boat and swim across the Cote de Azure. The only downside was the lack of information about the deposit - for us it was 3000 Euro which was a bit of a hustle as we were not prepared for that, the second thing which was not mentioned was that they charge for the fuel extra ( this was our first time to rent a boat and we were not aware of the extra cost) the boat was 500 € and the fuel + 300 euro. In the end we were very please with the whole trip / boat etc.
Everything you need to know about boat rental in France
How much does it cost to rent a boat in France?
The price of renting a boat in France can vary quite a bit. There are many factors to take into account, including the type of vessel, the size of the boat, the area of the country, and the time of year. Of course, the price will also depend on whether the boat is rented with a skipper or not.
In general, though, it is cheaper to rent a boat during the low season, when a small sailboat can cost $1,000 per week. Without a skipper, expect to pay between $150 and $300 per day. Small motorboats are available from $80 per day, while larger vessels - holding a maximum of 12 people - cost about $650 per day.
What are the best areas for renting canal boats in France?
France is a great country for renting a river boat and sailing the canals. The Canal du Midi connects the Atlantic to the Mediterranean and passes through stunning cities including Toulouse and Carcassonne. Sailors will have plenty of opportunities to stop and enjoy the ever-changing scenery.
The Burgundy region also contains several canals, and is an ideal destination for wine lovers. The canal system here has plenty of locks to navigate, so you might want to charter a boat with a skipper who can offer you an experienced helping hand. Alternatively, if it's peace and quiet you're looking for, rent a boat and head for the Canal de à Brest in Brittany, where the waters are calm and the landscapes are beautiful. Of course, no trip to Brittany would be complete without indulging in the delicious crepes the region is famous for.
The climate for boat rental France
The geographical diversity of France makes that there are different climates according to the regions. The summer months, from July to September, will be preferable for sailing aboard a rental boat under the sun. On the northern coast, you will enjoy an ocean climate, soft and wet, very different from what you can find on the Côte d'Azur, which is characterised by its Mediterranean climate, synonymous with high temperatures and heat during summer in France. Sailing conditions in the Mediterranean Sea change easily. Usually, winds blow from the West, North West and East. The winds of the Mediterranean Sea are numerous and have different names depending on their direction.
