About this tour
Charter a private boat from Nice harbour for four hours along the French Riviera coastline. Your skipper navigates past Monaco's yacht-lined anchorages, pastel-painted villages perched on cliffsides, and secluded coves known mainly to locals. The itinerary flexes to your interests—whether that's Villefranche's deep-water harbour, the Belle Époque charm of Èze cliffside, or the exclusive villas lining Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. You'll hear anecdotes about the region's aristocratic past and contemporary celebrity culture while sipping chilled beverages on deck.

What to expect
You'll depart Nice harbour and head eastward along the coast, passing fishing villages and residential enclaves before reaching Monaco's glamorous harbour. The skipper points out architectural landmarks, explains the region's Belle Époque origins, and shares contemporary gossip about the shoreline's most exclusive addresses. Depending on your chosen itinerary, you might anchor off Villefranche to spot cargo ships in the natural harbour, drift past Èze's clifftop settlement, or explore quieter bays few tourists know. Expect plenty of time simply floating, absorbing the light and taking photographs. The pace is leisurely rather than rushed.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen and a hat—reflected glare off water intensifies UV exposure. The boat accommodates service animals. Infants sit on a lap; no separate seat required. Alcoholic drinks are served only to passengers aged 21 and over; younger travellers receive non-alcoholic alternatives. Public transport links exist near the departure point if needed.
