About this tour
A two-hour private boat journey from Nice's port along the Côte d'Azur, taking in Villefranche-sur-Mer and the Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat peninsula as the sun dips toward the Mediterranean. Watch the shoreline shift through shades of gold and amber, spot dolphins if you're lucky, and sip local wine whilst the wealthy villas and golf courses fade into silhouette. The light plays off the water in ways the Côte d'Azur is famous for—no filters needed.

What to expect
You'll depart from Nice's port and motor gently eastward, hugging the coastline toward Villefranche's deep natural harbour. The boat slows as you approach Cap Ferrat, where Belle Époque mansions and golf courses crown the peninsula. As the sun lowers, the light shifts continuously—the sea becomes molten, the villas glow warm. If dolphins are about, your crew will slow further to watch. You'll have a glass of wine in hand and space to move freely on deck. It's relaxed and unhurried, designed around the rhythm of sunset rather than a fixed itinerary.
Good to know
