About Our Service in Cannes, the Lérins Islands, and Théoule-sur-Mer
Running from 10:00 to 18:00, this 8-hour private day charter is one of the most rewarding ways to appreciate the natural contrasts close to Cannes. Starting from the central and prestigious Port Canto marina, the yacht first heads toward the peaceful Îles de Lérins, where clear, calm water and sheltered anchorages create the perfect setting for an easy morning of swimming and relaxation. Later, the route shifts west toward the red-rock coastline near Théoule-sur-Mer, where the scenery becomes more dramatic and rugged. The transition between these two areas gives the charter a compelling rhythm, allowing guests to experience both the serenity of island cruising and the visual excitement of the Esterel coast within a single refined day.
Day at Sea Itinerary
10:00 - Departure from Port Canto: Guests board in Cannes and depart smoothly into open water, with the crew ensuring a seamless start. The short cruise from port means that the charter quickly reaches its first highlight, maximizing the time available for leisure and enjoyment.
10:20 to 12:30 - Morning at the Îles de Lérins: The yacht anchors near the islands, where the water is calm, clear, and highly inviting. This first stop is perfect for swimming, snorkeling, paddleboarding, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of the surroundings from the deck. The Lérins area is known for its peaceful atmosphere, gentle anchorage conditions, and beautiful natural light, making it especially attractive for guests who want a calm and restorative start to their Riviera day.
12:30 to 13:15 - Cruise toward the Esterel coastline: The itinerary then develops into something broader and more immersive as the yacht continues west toward Théoule-sur-Mer. This short scenic passage offers a pleasant change of mood and geography, showing just how much variety can be found within easy reach of Cannes.
13:15 to 14:30 - Lunch onboard near the red cliffs: Lunch is served in the remarkable setting of the Esterel coast, where red rock formations rise above deep blue water in one of the Riviera’s most distinctive visual landscapes. It is a memorable place to pause, dine comfortably onboard, and enjoy the yacht as a private floating retreat framed by spectacular natural scenery.
14:30 to 16:00 - Swimming, exploration, and sightseeing near Théoule-sur-Mer: The afternoon is dedicated to enjoying the more rugged side of the coastline. Guests can swim again, relax near hidden coves, take photographs of the dramatic rock formations, and appreciate a setting that feels wilder and more geological than the island stop earlier in the day. This second destination gives the charter added depth, making it particularly attractive to guests who want more than a single anchorage and appreciate contrasting Mediterranean environments.
16:15 to 18:00 - Scenic return to Cannes: The day concludes with a smooth return cruise to Port Canto, allowing everyone to unwind after a well-rounded Riviera itinerary that has delivered both calm beauty and dramatic coastal spectacle.
