Fantastic experience! Patrick made our birthday boat trip for 13 people an absolute dream day. Patrick was extremely helpful with all our prior questions which made the booking experience considerably more straight forward and showed us an amazing day by touring the Cannes bay and surrounding islands. Brilliant day and would happily book again!

Matthieu was very attentive to our wishes and offered us a trip to Corsica and a trip to Sardinia, while taking into account the weather and the fact that we had 3 little ones with us. We trusted him and the trip was fabulous! With a big crush on Santa Giulia as well as Carvallo!
Matthieu a été très à l'écoute de nos envies et nous a proposé une partir Corse et une partir Sardaigne, tout en tenant compte de la météo et du fait que nous avions 3 petits avec nous. Nous lui avons fait confiance et le voyage à été fabuleux! Avec un gros coup de cœur pour Santa Giulia ainsi que carvallo!
