Why Choose Snorkeling on a Private Boat?
Snorkeling on a private boat offers an exclusive experience: no crowds, anchorages in preserved spots, and tailor-made service. Our escapes (up to 6 people) include mask and snorkel, along with a safety briefing by our skipper (maritime compliance). Combine your snorkeling session with a sea picnic or gourmet aperitif for a full-day adventure. Discover our options on the Snorkeling and Sea Picnic pages.
1. Lérins Islands: An Underwater Paradise
Located just minutes from Cannes, the Lérins Islands (Île Sainte-Marguerite and Île Saint-Honorat) offer crystal-clear waters ideal for snorkeling. Explore seabeds rich in colorful fish and posidonia seagrass meadows during a 4h, 6h, or 8h escape. Enhance the experience with a light meal at anchor. Learn more on our Excursions by Location page.
2. Maupas Calanques: A Wild Adventure
The Maupas Calanques, with their isolated coves and turquoise waters, are perfect for nature lovers. Our 3h, 4h, or 6h escapes let you dive in less-frequented areas, where you’ll spot starfish and groupers. Add an enhanced aperitif for a gourmet break. Check the details on Excursions by Location.
3. Corniche d’Or: Between Red Cliffs and Seabeds
The Corniche d’Or, with its red Estérel cliffs, provides a spectacular setting for snorkeling. During a 3h, 4h, or 6h escape, dive into clear waters to discover diverse marine life. Enjoy a sea picnic facing this unique landscape. Explore this destination on our Excursions by Location page.
