What to Expect
Setting off from Saint-Raphaël, our boat Simone takes you on an unforgettable boat trip into the heart of the Estérel massif! During 2.5 hours, you will enjoy spectacular scenery, a refreshing swim stop and a captain who will go out of his way to help you discover this charming region.
After boarding our comfortable boat, we will head towards Cap Dramont, which marks the entrance to the massif. For an hour, the red cliffs for which this massif is famous will pass before your eyes. You will have the chance to discover iconic spots such as Agay Bay, the shores of Anthéor, Île des Vieilles and Cap Roux.
The captain will then drop anchor in a calanque for a 30- to 45-minute swim in crystal-clear, paradise-like waters. You can also choose to stay on board and enjoy a complimentary aperitif whilst asking the captain any questions you may have. After this refreshing stop, it will be time to head back to Saint-Raphaël, whilst you enjoy the typical landscapes of the Estérel massif one last time.
