What to expect
You'll collect the boat from Mandelieu and have full control of the helm for six hours. The route takes you past dramatic geological formations and quiet beaches where you can moor and jump in. Expect calm to moderate conditions typical of the Côte d'Azur. The boat is straightforward to operate, though basic boat-handling confidence helps. Most of your time will be spent cruising coves, swimming, and soaking in views rather than covering long distances.
