Incredible experience! - An incredible experience with a 25 min stop in the middle of a cruise to swim! Unlimited drinks staff attentive and kind. (Special mention for Captain François and the staff who were really nice and funny).

Wonderful sunset cruise - The night we went was not too crowded so everyone got a seat. Very nice boat. We decided not to swim which gave us more time for photos. Staff was friendly and helpful. The punch was good. You might want to bring a snack

Reccomend - Fabulous trip. Well worth the money. The views were amazing, the rum punch was free flowing and the atmosphere on the way back became a bit of a party (maybe due to the punch)
We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would recommend. Only slight negative - we arrived at 7.10 to find the boat almost full already so was difficult getting a space for us all to sit initially. So arrive early if you are a bigger group and want to sit together.

Sunset Cruise - We enjoyed our boat trip - although unfortunately it wasn’t a very nice evening when we sailed so we didn’t get a very good sunset sadly! Great opportunities for swimming, the snacks & drinks were good! The crew were great & the catamaran was lovely!

Delightful sunset cruise on the French Riviera - The cruise was very comfortable and fun! Crew was amazing. The captain was funny. The Riviera was beautiful, of course. The only problem is that we didn‘t realize that we could swim! I don’t know whether it wasn’t described or if I just missed it.

Lovely evening perience - A lovely way to spend a summers evening. The boat was busy but not crowded and there was a lovely chilled vibe as the sun went down, maybe helped a little by the rum punch!

This was a great... - This was a great experience to get out on the water and see the city and sunset from the sea, the views are stunning! I didn’t realize that there is the opportunity to go swimming if you please - so be prepared if you’d like. The staff were fun and friendly and there were light bites and a rum punch included. I’d recommend to anyone visiting!

Beautiful Sunset Cruise - This was a good excursion however I don't like that you must remove you shoes for the entire cruise. The bottom floor gets wet and if you must visit the washrooms, you must go barefoot. Other than that, I had a great time.

Villefranche cruise - Beautiful catamaran! Crew was nice as well as the captain. A little deceiving on the drinks- not a fan of the rum punch. It was advertised as alcoholic beverages as well as soft drinks and snacks. But not transparent on the booking. Also, the ability to be able to swim during our cruise was a little embedded in the booking so we didn't bring suits. That put a damper for my daughters full enjoyment of the experience. During our onboarding, there was a lot of pushing and shoving of the patrons to get to the top floor and there was no one navigating the crowd as there were a lot of people onboard that I felt was a safety issue. Again, beautiful catamaran and views of Villefranche- just some refining would be appreciated. Only my opinion.

Somewhat Disappointing - The cruise itself doesn’t go very far. They basically leave port, turn the corner at the end of the jetty, and drop anchor in the adjacent bay. After a hour or more they venture the length of the promenade and turn around. You are basically paying to float on the boat. You do not see anything that you cannot see from shore.
Beverages and food were terrible. The only alcohol served was a sickly sweet planters punch and snacks were limited to peanuts and trail mix.
Upon boarding, all passengers had to leave their shoes which filled about 8 laundry baskets. This made using the bathroom barefoot a no go and getting off the boat chaotic with everyone tearing through the baskets to find their shoes.
Plan on being among the first to board if you expect a comfortable place to sit. There was upwards of 100 passengers on our cruise and some were sitting on coffee tables because of the lack of seats.
The captain made an announcement that smoking was limited to the aft lower deck out of concern for the safety and comfort of other passengers and proceeds to light one up at the wheel directly in front of us.. can’t make this up.
Don’t waste your money and enjoy the sunset from the promenade.
