Customer testimonial

We called very last minute to see if we could get out on a boat for the day. The man we spoke to was very helpful and put me in contact with Remi in Cannes.

Remi booked a 50 foot princess for us straight away. We were on the boat within an hour. We had a beautiful fruit platter waiting for us upon our arrival.

We met our captain Fred who was very friendly and capable.

My daughter and I had a magical day on the water. A day I will never forget thanks to Fred our skipper. This is a wonderful, helpful company and I would recommend them to anyone wanting a great day out on the water.
