Private Boat Tour to the Lérins Islands – History, Nature & Water

Just a short cruise from Cannes lies a completely different world. Île Sainte-Marguerite — Secrets of the Royal Fort Glide along the pine-covered shoreline of Sainte-Marguerite, where nature and history intertwine. From the sea, admire the imposing Royal Fort, once a strategic military prison and home to the legendary Man in the Iron Mask. Your skipper doesn’t just navigate — he brings the island to life, sharing anecdotes, hidden viewpoints, and quiet anchorages perfect for swimming away from the crowds. Île Saint-Honorât — A Living Monastic Island A few minutes later, reach the serene atmosphere of Saint-Honorât. Vineyards meet turquoise waters, and the fortified monastery rises directly from the sea — unchanged for over 16 centuries. As you cruise along the coast, you’ll hear about the monks’ daily life, their renowned wines, and why this island remains one of the most spiritual and preserved places on the French Riviera. What Makes This Experience Different This tour is designed around freedom, intimacy, and flexibility. Swim & Snorkel in Pristine Waters Anchor in secluded coves with translucent water. Snorkel above rocky seabeds or near the underwater eco-museum, where contemporary sculptures rest beneath the surface in complete silence. Paddle, Drift & Unplug Take the paddleboard to explore calm lagoons, float effortlessly under the sun, or simply relax on deck with music and sea views. A Private Moment at Sea Bring your own drinks and snacks — chilled rosé, champagne, or a simple picnic. With no strangers onboard, the boat becomes your private floating lounge.
