- 447stefaniek0 contributionsTranquility and beauty with SeaZen!This was such a special excursion. Our guide, Mylène, was lovely and so knowledgeable. The boat was beautiful...comfortable, smooth, clean, and noiseless. We took the sunset cruise, which was perfect at the end of a hot day of exploring. I can't recommend this cruise highly enough!Written 5 August 2024

The boat is super quiet and clean, views are impeccable, and Mylène is so sweet and kind! I hope everyone gets to experience this once in a lifetime opportunity to watch the most beautiful sunset! Thank you to Mylène for an unforgettable trip.Written 28 September 2023

- B4035NAginaj0 contributionsThe best activity in the French RivieraMylene was very welcoming and friendly. She drove us around slowly along the coast for two hours. She was a very good tour guide as well :). This was one of the best excursions we did in France. Highly highly recommend!Written 28 September 2023
- SANDORT5150 contributionsHighly recommended tourWe took the 2 hour private tour with Nicolas at the end of August. Fantastic and unique experience on the silent solar powered boat. Very relaxing. He took us around the shore line, showed us some of the villas and yachts along the way to Billionaires Bay where we had a nice swim. Overall very pleasant trip and highly recommended.Written 5 September 2023
- R9421JXluker0 contributionsBeautiful experience to propose!Nicholas was an amazing guide and really made our time on the sea relaxing, informative and really nice. He showed us the yachts on the sea and took us to a beautiful spot where I asked him to take some photos of us, I then proposed to my girlfriend on the front of the boat at a stunning location he stopped at as we previously agreed. Would recommend this peaceful excursion to anyone! We’ll worth the money and a beautiful location.Written 19 August 2023
- Nomad650078253070 contributionsReally memorable and relaxing trip with a great captainNicolas was a great captain and host and the boat was very well maintained. We really enjoyed seeing Juan des Pins from the sea and hearing about the history of some of the notable buildings and villas. We swam in the sea among shoals of irridescent fish and Nicolas supplied masks and snorkels. The time went all too quickly, but being a private boat, it was a really relaxing trip and we were able to chat and ask Nicolas lots of questions about the area. He also gave us great suggestions for things to do in the town and where to find the best ice creams - though while we were on board, the 'ice cream boat' came by and we could have bought some while at sea. Would definitely recommend this trip!Written 19 July 2023

- C9164VNkristins0 contributionsPerfect in every way!Just a wonderful experience for our family! One of the highlights of our trip to the South of France. Nikolai was a knowledgeable, funny & kind skipper/tour guide. Everybody loved swimming & snorkeling in the beautiful water off the coast. We went at 4pm…not too hot. You can bring snacks & a glass of wine if you want to do that. Thank you!!! Merci!!! PS I did try to upload a photo but it would not postWritten 7 July 2023
- michaelrosenberg0 contributionsWorthwhile way to get on the seaPeaceful way to get in the water but it was a bit choppy when we went and we didn’t go as far as I had hoped. Though that’s really my miscalculation. Captain was a nice guy. We had taken the same boat in Beaulieu sur mer the previous year and enjoyed it more. Calmer waters and more to see. Nonetheless still a wonderful way to spend an hour on the water.Written 19 June 2023
- mary l0 contributionsSee the shore from the seaNicholas was a great captain of this small solar powered catamaran as we viewed Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc and private homes not accessible by land, as well as the coast line and boats in harbor. Quite, scenic, relaxing, with just the right amount of commentary. Highly recommend.Written 13 June 2023

Incredible views of the most interesting and beautiful coastline on the Riviera, which included the most amazing billionaire estates and natural forested and rock cliff formations. We enjoyed the view of the fantastic yachts and mega-yachts at anchor off shore. The water was crystal clear and inviting. The very comfortable solar powered boat was completely quiet, allowing for easy relaxing conversation with our captain. We cant say enough about our charming captain Mileine (sp?) and her enthusiasm to share insights on the properties and estates we passed and ecology of the waters and coastline. On this trip we’ve traveled on the Riviera and across Provence and the solar catamaran 2+ hour relaxing excursion was our top unforgettable experience.

Very quiet and comfortable ride on this Solar Catamaran. Stopped by ice cream boat for snack. Really appreciate the skipper's help providing Goggles and pool noodle for our kid when swimming in the open water.

Great experience. The skipper, Alexander, was very nice, friendly and flexible. Our 5 and 8 year old grandsons had a great time because they got to swim and drive the boat a bit. Swimming is not normally part of the one hour trip. You need two hours if you want to get around to “Billionaire’s Bay” where the swimming looks to be really spectacular. Nice to do what we can to lessen the carbon footprint of tourism too. Also good value. Would definitely recommend.

The tour was great! Just as in the description. We did the two hour tour and it was the perfect amount of time to see the area. The directions to the boat in the marina were very detailed and we easily found the boat. As we arrived we had a friendly greeting and walked onboard. Boarding is easy with only one step to get on. The electric boat is quiet and smooth. No fumes! The tour was fantastic! Luxury hotels, Billionaire’s Bay, Mega Yachts, beach restaurants, Alps and even some paparazzi. Easy return to the Harbour. Our guide was the owner of the boat and was very friendly. Fluent in English and French. Thank you for a amazingly different view of the area!

It was just our party of 3 and the boat ride was just perfect. She showed us the sights in Juan des pins then took is to the Bay of billionaires for swimming. With the exception of some paddle boarders, we had the entire bay to ourselves! Highly recommend. The two ladies who took us out were so nice and helpful! Find out the slip number before going to make it easier to find them!
