You step onto a sleek bowrider in Cannes as the harbor breathes out behind you and the Mediterranean pulls you seaward. The boat pushes through a corridor of glittering water toward the Lérins archipelago; the islands themselves rise low and green, their limestone coasts dropping into turquoise basins that dare you to jump in.

You step onto a sleek bowrider in Cannes as the harbor breathes out behind you and the Mediterranean pulls you seaward. The boat pushes through a corridor of glittering water toward the Lérins archipelago; the islands themselves rise low and green, their limestone coasts dropping into turquoise basins that dare you to jump in.
The Lérins—chiefly Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat—carry centuries of human stories: from Roman sailors to medieval fortresses and the monastic calm of Saint-Honorat. Geologically the islands are limestone outcrops shaped by sea and wind, their shallow shelves creating clear snorkeling zones where Jason deCaires Taylor’s submerged sculptures now sit like quiet guests beneath the surface.
Expect a day of varied pace: cruised views of Cannes bay, anchored snorkeling above underwater artworks, paddleboarding in glassy coves, and long sun-soaked breaks on deck. The experience suits groups — celebrations or family outings — with onboard sound, shade, and basic refreshments; a skipper fee is payable locally.
Plan practically: morning departures avoid afternoon winds and make for calmer snorkeling, bring reef-safe sunscreen and a lightweight coverup for wind off the bow. Water shoes help on rocky landings; a dry bag keeps phones safe. The outing is nontechnical and accessible to most swimmers, but standard sea-safety basics apply—briefings, lifejackets, and attention to weather updates.
By day’s end the sea will have smoothed the city’s edges; you return to Cannes with salt on your skin, stories of submerged art, and islands that feel at once wild and quietly inhabited.
