Is this a sailing experience or a motor cruise?

This is a true sailboat experience. When wind conditions permit, the engine is reduced or switched off and the sails are raised. However, for safety and scheduling reasons, the skipper may use the engine when required, particularly during harbour manoeuvres or calm conditions.

How many guests can the boat accommodate?

The sailboat can host up to 12 guests comfortably. The layout includes open deck areas, shaded cockpit seating and interior space with four double cabins and two bathrooms.

What is included in the lunch?

The onboard lunch includes regional specialities such as pissaladière, tapenade, charcuterie and fine cheeses, accompanied by bread, organic fruit, water and soft drinks. It is designed as a high-quality artisanal picnic served at anchor rather than a restaurant-style meal.

Can we bring our own wine or champagne?

Yes, guests are welcome to bring their own alcoholic beverages. Fridges and glassware are available onboard.

Is swimming included?

Yes. The boat anchors in protected waters near the Lérins Islands, where guests can swim directly from the vessel. Conditions permitting, the lagoon offers clear water and suitable depth for safe access.

Is the experience suitable for children?

Children are welcome when accompanied by adults. As this is a private charter, families can structure the day to suit their group, while following onboard safety guidance.

What happens if the weather changes?

The skipper monitors wind and sea conditions closely. If conditions are unsuitable for certain routes, the itinerary will be adapted to maintain safety and comfort.

Light clothing, swimwear and non-slip footwear are recommended. Guests should also bring sun protection, sunglasses and a towel.

Where exactly do we board?

Boarding takes place at Port Gallice in Antibes. If hotel pick-up is selected, transfer details are coordinated in advance.

🌊 What to Expect

Your day begins with hotel pick-up (one-way) and transfer to Port Gallice in Antibes, where you’ll board the 50-foot sailboat and meet your skipper. After a short safety briefing, you’ll leave the harbour and, weather permitting, switch from engine to sail to experience the quieter rhythm of wind-powered navigation.

The typical route heads towards the Lérins Islands, where protected waters create suitable conditions for anchoring. Once moored in the lagoon, the boat becomes a floating base for swimming and relaxing. Sea-swings suspended over the water and a hammock on deck provide space to unwind, while expansive sunbathing areas and the shaded cockpit offer comfort throughout the day.

Lunch is served on board at anchor. The curated artisanal basket includes regional specialities such as pissaladière, tapenade, charcuterie, fine regional cheeses, fresh bread, organic fruit, bottled water and soft drinks. Guests are welcome to bring their own wine or champagne. After lunch, there is time for further swimming or coastal cruising before returning to Antibes in the late afternoon.

📍 Location

Departure is from Port Gallice in Antibes, providing direct access to the Cap d’Antibes coastline and the Lérins Islands within a short sailing distance.

This stretch of coast offers a combination of sheltered lagoons and open sailing areas depending on wind direction. The skipper adjusts the route according to sea conditions to prioritise comfort and safety throughout the day.

✅ Prerequisites

No sailing experience is required. The yacht is fully skippered, and all navigation and manoeuvring are handled by a professional captain.

Nautical activities are subject to weather conditions. If wind or sea state is unsuitable, the route may be adapted. All guests must follow onboard safety guidance at all times.

💙 Why Choose Us

We focus on genuine sailing rather than purely motor cruising. When conditions allow, the sails are raised to create a quieter and more authentic experience on the water.

The onboard layout is designed for social connection and comfort, with structured seating areas, shaded space and distinctive features such as sea-swings and a hammock. Combined with a curated regional lunch and coordinated logistics, the experience is organised, relaxed and fully private from start to finish.
