French Riviera - Cote d'Azur
We will take you on our yacht from the old harbour in the center of Cannes over the cristal blue waters of the Mediterrenean Sea to the historical islands of Lerins, the most popular moaring spot on the French Riviera. We pass the Fortress Royal, famous as the prison where the 'man in the iron mask' spend most of his life. In 1998 Leonardo di Caprio made the relevant movie. On the second island you will find the first monastry in Europa, created in the 5th century. Between Sainte Marguarite and Saint Honorat you can swimm, snorkel, paddle or have a sunbath in the calm waters. Famous is also the underwater museum of the american scultor Jason deCaires Taylor. There are food boats to provide you with pizza's, sandwiches, snacks and drinks. Water taxi's can take you to the islands as our yacht cannot moar in the small harbours of the islands. But you can also use our paddle. Your skipper is an experienced guide and writer of several books about the French Riviera.

Amazing boat tour in Cannes
The tour exceeded all of our expectations — Arnold was the best skipper we could ask for: attentive, very friendly and welcoming. Overall 10/10 experience. We went as a group of friends but could also work well for a family or a couple.

Great boat awesome guide
Arnold this was such an enjoyable day on the water. He’s so knowledgable about the area and the history. My family absolutely loved. It would definitely do it again when I go back. 5🤩

A fantastic day and very much recommended!
While staying in Antibes, I was looking for a charter for the day, I didn’t expect availability the next day but luck was in our favour and we were able to book the afternoon after a direct conversation via WhatsApp. We arrived at the quay at the time given after some very easy communication and were pleasantly greeted at the dock by Arnold. We arrived at the boat and greeted onboard, by Arnold and Moana, where we set sail for the afternoon. A very informative cruise out to the islands with Arnold happy to share as much or little history and expertise of the area (well worth taking the opportunity to listen as he has some fantastic experiences and stories to tell!!) We cruised out to a shallow swimming area between the islands where we used some of the water toys and swam, ate, drank and sunbathed, absolute heaven! We then took a leisurely cruise back to port at sunset and enjoyed a drink with the owners. The boat is very comfortable, spacious for groups or as a couple, sun loungers on the bow and a great seating area in the back, a swim deck and easy access into the water. Plenty of fridge space and a toilet below deck with everything clean and well presented. The owners make sure to make you feel as if the boat is your own although we enjoyed their company so much we encouraged them to spend the time with us as it felt more like immediate friends. Thank you very much to both of you and we will certainly be back on board again!

One of the most memorable boat trips
This was an amazing experience for me and my friends. Plenty of room for 7 of us. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to go on a private boat tour. Arnold was a great host, very easy to communicate with, and incredibly knowledgeable about the region with plenty of interesting stories. We will definitely return to his boat if we are back in Cannes.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cannes Day charter to the Islands: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cannes.
How much does Cannes Day charter to the Islands cost?
+
Prices start at $1,141 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cannes usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cannes Day charter to the Islands take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cannes is not rushed.
Is Cannes Day charter to the Islands worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cannes, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cannes Day charter to the Islands?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cannes Day charter to the Islands suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cannes Day charter to the Islands?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cannes can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cannes and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cannes Day charter to the Islands start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cannes within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cannes?
+
On Outty we rank every Cannes experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include City Tour in Cannes aboard our Classic French Bus!, Cruise / Navigation / Sunset in the Lerins Islands, Yacht Me Up All Inclusive Private Cruise Cannes Lérins Sailing. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cannes?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cannes?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
