About this tour

Set sail from Cannes aboard a traditional sailboat for four hours exploring the Lérins Islands. You'll anchor in sheltered bays with transparent waters, swim and snorkel in the Mediterranean, then settle in for lunch prepared fresh onboard. The pace is unhurried—whether you're travelling solo, as a couple, or with mates, there's room to unwind, read, or simply watch the coast recede. Wine and beer accompany the meal. Public transport reaches the departure point easily.

What to expect

You'll board in Cannes and motor-sail out to the islands, with the skipper choosing anchorages based on wind and conditions. Expect 30–45 minutes between swimming stops. The water is typically 18–22°C depending on season, so a rash guard or light wetsuit helps. Lunch arrives mid-trip: a simple, tasty affair with local cheeses, cured meats, bread, and salad. Snorkelling gear is available; visibility often exceeds 10 metres. There's genuine downtime built in—no rushing between photo ops. The boat rocks gently; if you're prone to motion sickness, take precautions beforehand.

Good to know

Bring your own towel. The boat suits all ages and abilities, though toddlers need close watching near railings. Wear reef-safe sunscreen; reapply after swimming. Departure point is accessible by local bus. Book ahead in summer. Seasickness tablets work better taken before departure.
