One of the best nights we've had on the French Riviera!
3 Hour – Evening Cruise on July 14, 2026

We had the best evening out on Ava. We headed over to the Cannes Islands for sunset before anchoring up to watch the Cannes fireworks, and I don't think there's a better way to experience them. We enjoyed some nice wine and brought along a cheese platter and snacks to make a full evening of it. Watching the fireworks from the boat, away from all the crowds, was pretty special. The Captain made the whole trip feel really relaxed and easy. He knows the area well and took us to a beautiful spot while making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. The boat itself was unique and beautiful. Completely different to the other boats we saw out there and had everything we needed for a perfect evening. We cant wait to do it again!

Une superbe journée 💛
8 Hour – Islands of Cannes on July 12, 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Une superbe journée à bord de ce magnifique pointu ! Nous avons passé un excellent moment en mer. Le bateau est plein de charme, très bien entretenu et parfait pour découvrir la côte autrement. On retrouve tout le charme de la Méditerranée avec le confort nécessaire pour profiter pleinement de la journée. Un grand merci à notre capitaine, passionné, très professionnel et aux petits soins. Il connaît parfaitement les environs et sait partager les plus beaux endroits, dans une ambiance conviviale et détendue. Si vous cherchez une expérience authentique, loin des grosses embarcations, je recommande cette sortie les yeux fermés. Une parenthèse hors du temps, idéale en couple, en famille ou entre amis. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !

8 Hour – Islands of Cannes on July 15, 2026

A huge thank you to our captain for an unforgettable day on board in Cannes! From the moment we stepped on the boat until the very end of the trip, everything was perfect. Professional, friendly, attentive, and always making sure my family and I had the best possible experience. Your kindness, local knowledge, and passion made this day truly special. We couldn’t have asked for a better captain. If you’re looking for an amazing boat experience in Cannes, I highly recommend him. We will definitely be back! Thank you again for the wonderful memories!

Great classic boat. Everyone asked us where we got it from. Great service, toys, wine, cheese, charcuterie, music. Great anchorage in turquoise waters full of fish. Kids loved the seabob and paddles. Strongly recommend
