Sunset and fireworks in yacht Côte d’Azur

This three-and-a-half-hour evening voyage departs from Nice with a maximum of seven passengers, keeping the atmosphere intimate and unhurried.

What to expect

You'll board in Nice and sail eastward along the coast as daylight softens. The skipper positions the yacht to catch the sunset's warmth on the water and surrounding cliffs, a quieter spectacle than crowded promenades offer. Once settled, you'll have uninterrupted sightlines to the fireworks display when it begins—timing depends on local festival schedules. The mood stays relaxed; there's no rush, no crowds pressing against railings. Bring a light layer if the evening turns cool over water.

Good to know

Transport to the Nice departure point is your responsibility—public transport runs nearby. The trip suits all fitness levels; no strenuous activity involved. Children are welcome. Dinner is not included, so eat beforehand if needed. Fireworks timing varies by local events, so check the schedule before booking.
