The boat slips away from Cannes harbour, the city shrinking to a string of roofs as the Mediterranean opens blue and bright. Salt air pulls at your hair while the skipper eases the throttle; the islands of Lérins rise ahead — low, pine‑covered, their rocky edges daring you to dive in.

The boat slips away from Cannes harbour, the city shrinking to a string of roofs as the Mediterranean opens blue and bright. Salt air pulls at your hair while the skipper eases the throttle; the islands of Lérins rise ahead — low, pine‑covered, their rocky edges daring you to dive in.
These isles carry a compact history: Sainte‑Marguerite once hosted a royal prison, and Saint‑Honorat has been monastic since the 5th century. Geologically the coast is limestone and schist, worn into sheltered coves and seabeds where Posidonia meadows cradle marine life. Culture here mixes Provençal calm with the yacht‑tinged glamour of the Côte d'Azur; local skippers know which coves hold the clearest water and where lunch tastes best ashore.
Practicalities matter: this private cruise runs roughly seven hours, led by a local skipper with fuel and snorkeling gear included. Expect multiple swimming stops in calm, shallow bays and the chance to see schools of fish near the rocks; a Seabob is sometimes available for added play. The trip suits all fitness levels but requires basic swimming confidence for snorkeling.
Bring reef‑safe sunscreen, a light windshirt, and a waterproof bag for electronics. Time your day to avoid the hottest midday sun if you prefer gentler light for photos. Check weather and cancellation terms — operators typically allow refunds for cancellations 24 hours ahead. On the water, the sea sets the pace: follow the skipper, respect protected coves, and let the current and coastline guide your day.
Private cruises typically depart from Cannes’ main harbour; confirm the exact meeting point with the operator on booking.
