Description

Departing from Port Lympia in Nice (Pier G04), head to Monaco aboard our RIBs. In 2.5 hours, you’ll cruise along one of the most spectacular stretches of the French Riviera: the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer, the sea caves and cliffsof Eze by the sea, the sumptuous villas of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, and the golden beaches of Beaulieu-sur-Mer.

Your local captain will provide commentary on the coastline throughout the trip, covering the architecture of iconic villas, marine life, and the history of the coast. Swimming breaks are planned at secluded coves accessible only by sea. Water and juice are provided on board, and life jackets are included.

As Monaco, the contrast is striking: giant yachts at anchor, the Rock, and the Monte-Carlo Casino visible from the open sea. A view of the landscape that only the sea can truly offer.

Limited to 12 passengers, minimum 8. Languages: French and English.
