About this tour
Charter a sleek Finnish motorboat for a four-hour private voyage from Cannes to the Lérins Islands.

Ideal for small groups seeking coastal exploration without the crowds.

What to expect
You'll board at Cannes and head seaward aboard a stable, modern vessel with plenty of deck space. The skipper charts a leisurely course, pointing out the fortress island's strategic placement and the neighbouring monastery's centuries-old wine production. Expect 2–3 stops in clear turquoise shallows where you'll gear up for snorkelling or paddle out on the board. Bring a light layer; the Mediterranean breeze picks up on deck. Swim duration and route adapt to your group's pace—no rigid itinerary.
