About this tour
Set sail from Cannes' historic harbour on a vintage eight-metre vessel for an afternoon and evening on the water. You'll work the boat's rigging alongside the skipper, glide past Cannes' shoreline, and reach Sainte-Marguerite Island as the sun dips low. A chilled rosé accompanies the experience (for those 18+). The four to five hour voyage blends active sailing with Mediterranean downtime, ending with golden-hour views across the water.
Highlights

What to expect
You'll meet at the old port in Cannes and board a characterful sailing boat. The skipper will brief you on safety, then invite you to participate in sailing tasks—hoisting sails, adjusting sheets, steering—as much or as little as you're comfortable with. The boat heads east along the Côte d'Azur, with views of Cannes' built shoreline giving way to quieter water. You'll anchor near Sainte-Marguerite Island, one of the Lérins Islands, where you can take in the scenery. As afternoon light softens, rosé flows and conversation drifts. The return journey unfolds as the sky deepens, finishing back at the port as dusk settles.
Good to know
Moderate fitness and good cardiovascular health required; sailing involves movement and balance. Infants must sit on an adult's lap. Only rosé is served on board—no outside alcohol permitted. Public transport reaches the old port. Wear non-slip shoes and bring sun protection.
