You step onto the teak deck at Quai Saint‑Pierre with gulls circling and the city’s harbor buildings receding behind you. The catamaran eases into the bay, spray cooling your face, and the skyline of Cannes compresses to a thin line while the pale shapes of the Lérins Islands grow sharper ahead.

You step onto the teak deck at Quai Saint‑Pierre with gulls circling and the city’s harbor buildings receding behind you. The catamaran eases into the bay, spray cooling your face, and the skyline of Cannes compresses to a thin line while the pale shapes of the Lérins Islands grow sharper ahead.
The islands carry layers of history: Sainte‑Marguerite’s fortress once held prisoners during the 17th century, and Saint‑Honorat’s monastery has produced monastic wine for centuries. Geologically, the coastline toward the Massif de l’Esterel reveals rust‑red volcanic outcrops—a vivid contrast to the deep blue of the Mediterranean and the seagrass beds below.
On a daytime cruise you’ll moor between islands for a swim; water here is clear, and the captain often drops anchor near Posidonia meadows, which sustain local fish populations. Cultural notes surface in small ways: monks tending vines, local skippers pointing out submerged reefs, and the ferry transfer at Sainte‑Marguerite when the itinerary calls for it.
Practicalities are straightforward. Plan to arrive at the Trans Côte d’Azur ticket office at least 30 minutes before departure. Bring swimwear and a towel if you want to jump in, plus cash for onboard extras—there’s no card machine. Options include half‑day (with or without lunch) or a full day that extends toward the Esterel. Snorkel gear, shared kayaks and SUPs are available on day cruises, weather permitting. The outing is suitable for most fitness levels, but pack sun protection, a light wind layer for open water, and a reusable bottle to stay hydrated. If the weather turns or minimum numbers aren’t met, operators will offer alternatives or refunds.
Snorkeling equipment is provided on daytime cruises, but you can bring personal gear for a better fit.
Lunch is included only if you select the lunch option; half‑day and full‑day choices vary—check your booking details.
Yes—crew will advise on safe swim spots and provide ladders; conditions and weather determine whether stops occur.
The operator cancels departures in unsafe conditions and offers alternatives or full refunds; cancel at least 24 hours for a refund if you need to change plans.
