About the experience

Discover history, beauty, and crystal-clear waters from Cannes

Embark on a full-day escape aboard our elegant 12-meter yacht, Bobby McGee, departing from the Old Harbor in the heart of Cannes. As we set sail toward the stunning Îles de Lérins, prepare for a day of total relaxation, natural beauty, and cultural discovery.

Explore Île Sainte-Marguerite, famous for the Fort Royal, the legendary prison of the "Man in the Iron Mask," and now home to the chic La Guérite beach club, a Riviera hotspot. Then drift across to Île Saint-Honorat, a peaceful retreat featuring a centuries-old monastery where monks still produce wine, and enjoy the calm ambiance of La Tonnelle restaurant or a tranquil stroll under the pines.

Between the islands, the sea offers a protected haven for swimming, snorkeling, and gliding across the turquoise waters on a paddle board. Back on board, enjoy the comfort of a freshwater shower on the swim platform, and stretch out in the sun with provided serviettes (towels) for your comfort.

We’ll keep you refreshed throughout the day with a selection of soft drinks and water. You’re welcome to bring your own food and beverages, or choose to have lunch delivered directly to the boat—pizza, sandwiches, snacks, or even ice cream.

Our experienced and friendly skipper, also the author of a renowned French Riviera travel guide, will make sure your day is filled with fascinating insights, good laughs, and an unforgettable atmosphere.

Included: Paddle board, snorkeling gear, towels, drinks (water & soft drinks)
Optional: Lunch at island restaurants or onboard delivery

Let the serenity of the sea and the magic of the Lérins Islands give you a day to remember.

    We hired the boat out for half a day with Thomas. He was a very informative tour skipper and very transparent with his costings. He showed us all the great spots to see as well as being a great tour guide. For the money we paid we really got a great day out with great weather. We even managed to stay a bit longer on board at the port to learn some information from him. We will definitely recommend him and we will also be sure to book him again this year at this price.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Experience with Captain Arnold! We had an absolutely wonderful day on the water with Arnold as our captain! From start to finish, his service was outstanding and truly made our Cannes boat rental unforgettable. Arnold's communication was excellent from the very beginning - he reached out well in advance to help us prepare for our trip and ensure we knew exactly what to expect. When we arrived at the pier, he was there waiting for us with a warm welcome and immediately assisted us with our bags to the boat. After a thorough but efficient boat orientation, we were off to explore the beautiful coastline. Arnold's knowledge of the area is impressive - he shared fascinating local history and stories as we cruised along, which really enriched our experience and gave us a deeper appreciation for the region. What sets Arnold apart is his genuine care for his guests' experience. He recommended a fantastic local beach club that perfectly suited our taste and even made a reservation for us. When we discussed visiting La Guérite, he provided honest advice about the costs involved, helping us make an informed decision without any pressure. Arnold was the perfect thought partner throughout the day, helping us plan our itinerary while being completely transparent and genuine in all his suggestions. His laid-back, friendly personality made him an absolute pleasure to spend the day with. We couldn't have asked for a better captain and highly recommend Arnold to anyone looking for an exceptional boat rental experience in Cannes. Thank you for making our day so special! Highly recommended! 🚤

    We had the absolute best time with Arnold. He and Moana took great care of us. He is experienced, safe, friendly and so incredibly generous. He didn’t just make our day, he made our trip! He also has super fun gadgets, snorkels etc on board that kept our kids entertained the whole time. I cannot recommend him enough, you will not regret renting this boat.

    We couldn't have chosen a better host for our trip to Cannes and the islands! Impeccable service, an excellently maintained boat, and a perfect knowledge of the area. Drinks and fruit were available, as well as items for lying in the water and floating. The best part was the warmth of the owner. We were so happy to have spent the whole day sharing time and conversation with him. We will definitely come back the day we return to the area. I recommend it to everyone! Thank you!

    We had the best 4th of July boat cruise with Captain Arnold! He is the most interesting man in the world! He knows all the hot spots, is wildly entertaining, and is great with kids. The boat is also well equipped with water toys to keep everyone playing and having fun in the ocean. After a great lunch at La Guerite and an afternoon glass of wine on the dock with Arnold, we left feeling like we are friends with him! Highly recommend this experience in Cannes.

    We had the best time! Thomas was an amazing captain and his boat was beautiful. 100% recommend booking your charter with him. He took us for a tour of the islands then anchored the boat for us to swim in the beautiful blue waters. Thank you for a great day, Thomas!

    My wife and I booked this boat day with Arnold for a day trip while we are on our honeymoon. The day could not have gone any better. We were first welcomed by Arnold at the gate of the marina where he walked us to the boat and introduced to his wife who was also co captain. Both Arnold and his wife were incredibly sweet and gracious hosts the entire time. Arnold shared a mix of knowledge of the area, the people, and the islands we ended up visiting. It was nice to learn about some of the history of the area while also taking in the wonderful views. Activity wise we were able to float in crystal blue waters with rose wine (that he welcomed us with as a very kind gift) as well as some snorkeling in which we use provided masks/goggles/and a motorized equipment that made touring around the underwater museum a breeze. He also had towels and a speaker to use so we didn’t have to lug extra things on the boat which made everything much easier for us. Arnold also let us know about lunch options ahead of time and even booked us a reservation so we did not have to lift a finger! There were a range of options from a pizza boat to a fancy restaurant to others in between. We were truly treated like family and I would absolutely recommend booking this boat with Arnold. It may not be the biggest or fanciest boat on the water but it has everything you need to enjoy the day more than comfortably. Whenever we go back to Cannes I would happily book this again to spend another day out on the water. Thanks for the great memories Arnold!

    My wife and I had an incredible day with Thomas aboard his boat, the Bobby McGee. Thomas is very caring, punctual, kind, and generous with sharing his knowledge of the riviera as well as stories from his very eventful life (do ask!). We had an incredible day exploring, swimming, and experiencing the sea. Floating in the sea while Thomas played the song Me & Bobby McGee isn't an experience I will forget! I couldn't recommend him enough to make sure you have an incredible day !

    This was an amazing tour! The owner was SO kind and so knowledgeable about the area (he is a Dutch man who has lived in Cannes for many, many years). He made it extremely easy to find the boat and get us inside of the gated area on the dock. He was very nice and had rosé wine and water bottles waiting for us, as well as clean towels and pillows. He really helped make sure we were comfortable and having fun, while also letting us feel like the boat was all ours with no one else on it. The tour itself is great and lands in a really cool bay with lots of other yachts enjoying the swimming, which is only 9 feet deep so you can see the bottom and you feel very safe. The price is also the best price on this entire website for a yacht in Cannes and the boat feels brand new (even though it is not but the owner takes very good care of it!). Zero complaints, very well-worth the money and time, and also an amazing way to spend a full day in Cannes. Thank you!

    We had a great experience with Arnold. He was available to answer all our questions and was very accommodating. During our boat trip we had some seasick passengers and Arnold helped by getting them to the shore quickly and then he continued the trip with the rest of the group. He was very friendly and great with our 2 young kids. He even let my 6 year old son drive the boat. 5 stars all around!
