Details
Discover one of the French Riviera’s most breathtaking natural wonders with our Estérel boat tour — a 2.5-hour sea excursion from Mandelieu-la-Napoule aboard our Black Tenders. Glide along a spectacular coastline of red volcanic cliffs, hidden coves, and turquoise lagoons for a truly unforgettable experience.
Your passionate local captain will guide you through the Estérel Massif, revealing the secrets of its famous red rocks, unique geology, and abundant marine life. Thanks to our agile semi-rigid boats, you’ll explore remote inlets and wild calanques that larger vessels simply can’t reach.
Admire impressive landmarks along the way, including the Château de La Napoule, Château des Mineurs, Maison Lacoste, and the futuristic Palais Bulles. Limited to just 12 passengers, this intimate boat tour of the Estérel combines nature, culture, and tranquility for an exclusive Riviera experience.
Cruise all the way to Cap Roux, one of the true jewels of the Estérel, where dramatic cliffs meet crystalclear waters — a perfect photo opportunity and a moment of pure escape.
