The Fleet
Every vessel is inspected before each charter, fitted with safety gear above the legal minimum, and covered by our full liability policy. Prices include VAT and standard equipment.
A varnished-wood day launch with a Bimini top, Bluetooth sound system and swim platform — ideal for a coastal run to Villefranche.
Spacious twin-hull sailing catamaran with a shaded saloon, foredeck nets and a full galley — a favourite for full-day groups.
Light, fast and easy to handle, with a 40 hp outboard capped to unlicensed limits and a bow sundeck for anchoring at the Baie des Anges.
Twin-cabin flybridge yacht with air conditioning, a hydraulic swim platform and a chef-ready galley — built for a full day at Cap Ferrat.
A stable, wide-beam deck boat with a picnic table and ladder — the easiest choice for families or first-time renters.
A three-cabin cruising sailboat with a roomy cockpit and electric winches, available bareboat for licence holders or with our skipper.
*Unlicensed operation is limited to engines under French "Permis mer" thresholds and daylight coastal use; ID and a security deposit are required for every charter.
Why Charter With Us
We are a small, French-registered charter operator based at Port Lympia — not a marketplace. Every boat on this page is one we own, maintain and insure ourselves.
Family-run since 2008, with route knowledge covering Cap Ferrat, Villefranche and the Lérins Islands.
Every charter is covered by third-party liability and hull insurance underwritten in France.
All skippers hold a valid Capitaine 200 or higher commercial licence issued by the French maritime authority.
Boarding briefings run 15 minutes from the quay — no third-party call centre, you speak to us directly.
Guest Reviews
A sample of feedback shared with us by past charter guests.
We took the Zodiac RIB out for the afternoon with no boating licence — the check-in briefing was thorough and the crew were patient with our kids. Calm water, easy handling, would rent again.
Booked the Lagoon catamaran for a 40th birthday. The skipper adjusted the route around the wind without being asked and the boat was spotless. Worth the price for a group of ten.
Good value on the Riva launch and easy online booking. Only note is the marina parking fills up fast on weekends, so we now arrive earlier.
FAQ
Fuel for a standard route, safety equipment, basic insurance and a briefing are included on every boat. Skippered vessels include the skipper's fee; bareboat rentals require a valid boating licence for engines above the unlicensed threshold. Extra fuel beyond the standard range, catering and tips are billed separately and shown before you confirm.
If our skipper or the harbour master calls off a departure for safety reasons, you can rebook free of charge for another date within 12 months, or receive a full refund to your original payment method. This decision is made on the morning of departure using the official Météo-France marine forecast.
Boats marked "No licence req." can be driven without a permit under French law, within daylight coastal limits and subject to a short briefing. Larger bareboat vessels require a valid "Permis mer côtier" or equivalent, which we verify at check-in. Skippered charters never require a personal licence.
Bookings can be cancelled free of charge up to 48 hours before departure. Consumers booking from home also benefit from a 14-day right of withdrawal under EU distance-selling rules, except where the charter date falls inside that 14-day window and you have asked us to begin the service sooner. Full terms are in our Cancellation & Refund Policy.
Yes. A refundable damage deposit (€300–€1,500 depending on the boat) is pre-authorised on a credit card at check-in and released within 5 business days after the boat is returned undamaged and refuelled.
