Highlights
Outing Highlights
Cap d'Antibes and Iconic Seafront Villas
The route gives a compact view of the most celebrated coastal landmarks: the promontory of Cap d'Antibes and the legendary Hôtel du Cap-Eden Roc, seen from sea for an unbroken coastal silhouette.
A Snapshot of Juan les Pins’ Nautical Scene
On the short cruise you encounter the everyday maritime life of the bay—stand-up paddlers, swimmers and kayakers—which places this tranquil sail in the living rhythm of the shore.
Islands, Mountains and the Bay’s Grand Yachts
The return leg opens onto panoramas that include the Lérins Islands, the Estérel mountain chain and, in high season, the concentration of large yachts at anchor in the bay—approachable with courtesy when conditions allow.

What the hour on the water feels like
This is a deliberately gentle outing: a quiet, solar-powered catamaran moves at low speed so passengers can take in the villas, ports and rocky headlands from a calm vantage, then turn back to sweep past the Lérins Islands and the Estérel—an hour that favors observation and shared moments over activity.
