Sail like the rich and famous - Never imagined that a private full day sailing in Cannes would be feasible for us , but it was . Max was a great host , so passionate about his sailboat , sailing and hometown. We spent most of the day on the boat (our preference) sailing around the islands among amazing yachts and sailboats, but made a stop to walk and swim with locals and tourists along a beach . Lunch on board was a terrific variety of crudite with tadziki and anchovy paste . Our 16 year old said that she could eat a veggie lunch like this everyday . Thank you Max for providing us one of the top experiences of our 2 week family vacation . Remember to bring sunscreen .

Amazing day sailing in Cannes - Spent a day sailing with a friend and Máxime was an amazing guide. We anchored for swimming east of the docks for a bit by request, and it was wonderful. Docked on the island after and walked the island, swam out to see some of the underwater statues on Cannes beach. Lunch was wonderful, clean and refreshing. Would go again in heartbeat. 100% recommend.

Sailing Cannes - Would rate this experience 6 stars if possible, lovely classic sailing boat, the captain is a local experienced sailor who knows the area very well, we sailed to the St Honorat island, great walk to the Abbey and then had a lovely picnic lunch on the boat with local wine followed by swimming in beautiful blue waters, highly recommend it

Romantic Day in the Mediterranean - By far the absolute best thing that I’ve booked in this entire area. The Captain was so kind, engaging but also gave us privacy. The boat is beautiful and the experience was intimate and romantic. We spent the day exploring the Bay of Cannes, surrounding islands, swimming, eating and enjoying wine. The Captain went to the market and prepared a beautiful arrangement of vegetables for lunch, made homemade Tzatziki, homemade anchovy vinaigrette (I could drink it because it was so good) and provided a memorable picnic on the boat. If I could give this 10 stars, I would. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Please do yourself a favour and book twitch Maxime!!! - What can I say other than complete bliss. My partner and I had the sail of a lifetime with Maxime. It was her birthday and I wanted to book something special for her and booking with Maxime was far from a mistake. We met Maxime at the docks and we were greeted with a kind welcoming bonjour, for our first times on a sailboat we were quite nervous, this personal start made us feel comfortable right away. As Maxime set sail he discussed about Cannes and we got to learn some interesting facts about his boat and the numerous others we saw on the water. If you’re prone to sea sickness/motion sickness I would recommend to take some Gravol or another anti nausea medicine an hour or so before the sail, I ended up feeling a little sick in the beginning but Maxime was very polite and helpful about the situation. We did our first stop at Saint Marguerite where we got to explore and find somewhere to swim for a couple hours. He showed us where to go and gave us a couple towels as well as goggles for the water. We then came back to the boat where we stayed for lunch, which was delicious, and drank some Prosecco. We got to cheers for my partner’s birthday ! While we sat at the front of the boat, breathing in the beautiful salty air and catching the afternoons warm sun, off we went to another island where Maxime let us stop and swim near the shore. Here we saw plenty of fish and I got to take some pictures of the, by now, really happy birthday girl. From here, we hopped back on the boat and seat sail on our return to the docks. As we basked in the late afternoon sun at the front of the boat, my partner and I fell asleep and felt nothing but safe with Maxime leading the way. As we got close to shore, we set our feet out on the side and enjoyed the last few minutes of paradise. We docked and said our sweet goodbyes to not only our captain for the day but hopefully a new friend in Cannes. Nothing could’ve of been better on my partners birthday but to get the chance to share a boat where it was two people’s birthdays (our captain as well)! This was the experience of a lifetime. Thank you again Maxime and thank you for sharing your birthday with us.!
