We had a wonderfull time on this boat. We were a group of 7 and enjoyed a superb afternoon at sea. Vio took us to a beautiful area between the Lerins Islands where we could snorkle and swim. Vio was friendly, discrete and very helpful and a trained skipper. Recommended!

We enjoyed a fantastic cruise on Fox One near Porquerolles, and Richard and Alexandre made the experience truly exceptional. They were considerate and clear about what to expect, making sure our group of 12 felt comfortable and well taken care of. Their friendly and accommodating nature, along with great suggestions—like a swim on the far East side of Porquerolles—added to the trip’s charm. The boat was well-equipped including two paddle boards and an inflatable pontoon. We made a visit to a beautiful beach restaurant for lunch followed by a refreshing beach swim as the finishing touch. Highly recommend for you to experience the “magic” of Fox One!

He had nice navigations on where to park the car and where the boat was located, he was very friendly and made sure everything was ok. The boat was great for the price. After the trip the deposit went wrong, but he took us for a cold cola and made sure i got my money back. Would recommend.

Our family of five had an unforgettable day sailing off the coast of Cannes, thanks to our fantastic skipper Luc - Foreverboat. He was exceptionally welcoming and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The highlight was the sumptuous buffet he served, which exceeded our expectations. The children (10, 14, and 16) had a blast, and we all enjoyed the stunning views and relaxing atmosphere. This was truly a perfect day on the water, and we highly recommend booking a trip with this skipper.

Brian is a great host. Brian's boat was clean, comfortable, definitely spacious and fast enough to comfortably explore the area. Brian is very communicative, proactively reaches out. Brian also made sure that we know fully how to operate the boat, and navigate our way towards the sea and nearby island. We can definitely highly recommend Brian's boat! Great value for money!

One of the most wild islands located off Cote d’Azur is Iles d’Hyeres also known as the Golden Isles is known for its ancient forts, hiking and snorkeling areas. The three islands that make up the Golden Isles are Porquerolles, Port-Cros and Levant. A luxury yacht charter in French Riviera allows you to easily hop to these islands and other cities without any problems.
If you are looking for a classic medieval village, why not go to Eze? Eze is a photogenic town with a 12th century fortified castle and has two famous perfume companies that you can tour! Some of the best views are seen from the seaside with this beautiful castle and the surrounding area. Corniche d’Or or Golden Coast is another scenic route and offers views of rocky coastlines and Esterel Mountains.
St Tropez is a chic area with local restaurants and bars. We recommend trying the tarte tropezinne, a dessert created in this area which is a hybrid cake and brioche. This is one of the best places to visit to experience the glamour and beauty of the French Riviera. The historic village offers exclusive beach clubs, pastel coloured houses and narrow cobblestone streets. Your French Riviera yacht charter is waiting for you!
Are you a film enthusiast? Head to Cannes during the film festival and maybe you will run into a celebrity you know! One of the most popular beaches in Cannes is the Plage de la Bocca. This beach can be less hectic in the summer and is particularly popular with young families. Plage du Midi instead has a friendly vibe and a selection of restaurants and ice cream parlours. Perfect to take the kids after a long day! Looking for a party? The Martinez Beach every afternoon from 1pm to 8pm has DJs, violinists and more.
