What's included

Included
  • Life jackets
Speed, comfort, and freedom at sea

12 passengers, 10.95 meters, 20-knot cruising speed, refit in 2023: the Black Shade is the fleet’s all-around RIB. Fast enough to reach the calanques in just a few minutes, and comfortable enough to spend half a day or a full day there. Half-day (4 hours) for €850 excl. tax, full day (8 hours) for €1,200 excl. tax, fuel not included.

A rigid-hulled inflatable boat designed for comfort

Configuration includes jockey seats, a forward sun deck, outdoor cushions, an aft swim platform, and life jackets on board. The captain leads the crew and adjusts the route based on conditions. The Black Shade is designed to ensure you arrive at your destination fresh and rested, even in rough seas.

From the Estérel to the Gulf of Saint-Tropez

For a half-day trip, head to the coves ofthe Estérel from Cannes: red cliffs, turquoise waters, and stops for swimming. For a full day, the Black Shade can take you to Saint-Tropez and the Gulf, or cruise along the entire Golden Coast toward Théoule. The captain will tailor the itinerary to your preferences for the day.

For your private events for up to 12 people

Whether it’s an intimate birthday celebration, a romantic getaway, an outing with friends, or a private transfer, the Black Shade is the perfect option for groups of up to 12 people. For those who want to explore the Calanques without chartering an entire boat, our RIB excursions in the Estérel are available starting at €55 per person, including a captain.
