About this tour
Speed across the French Riviera in a 34ft luxury speedboat departing from Nice or Monaco. This 2–8 hour cruise traces the coast's most photogenic stretches: Monaco's old town and palace, the hidden sea cave at Cap d'Ail, hilltop Eze village overlooking turquoise water, celebrity-villa-lined Cap Ferrat, the fishing harbour of Villefranche, and Nice's Bay of Angels. Snorkel in crystalline coves, swim off secluded beaches, and clock the Mediterranean's most exclusive real estate from the water.

What to expect
Expect a smooth ride aboard a sleek speedboat with a skilled skipper commanding the helm. You'll make several stops to swim and snorkel, so bring a second swimsuit or allow time to dry between dips. The boat carries snorkelling equipment, though bringing your own fins ensures comfort. Stops last 20–45 minutes depending on water conditions and your group's pace. Shorter cruises (2–3 hours) typically cover Nice to Cap Ferrat; longer ones venture to Monaco and back. Sea state can vary; mild chop is normal in summer.
