Cannes to Monaco Boat Trip

Visitor comments

• "We had travelled to Monaco and Cannes with Trans Cote D'Azur and decided to try the new catamaran tour when returning to Nice last week. I still can't believe all that we got for the price! A gorgeous trip 10am -2 pm with a beautiful lunch, tour of the Lerins islands, snorkelling on an absolutely beautiful boat. We did the half day tour with lunch and it was fantastic- 4 full hours with a delicious lunch of rotisserie chicken, salads, tarts, fruit. They served juice, water and bread when the tour began and a pre-lunch snack of cold pizza around 11:30. They didn't scrimp on anything and the attention to detail was amazing. The staff were very good at their jobs. It was a very enjoyable day. We had read here that going in the morning may be preferred- that sure was the case for us. Our morning had 10 total guests and when we disembarked at 2 pm, 30 got on board. So the morning is clearly quieter and well stocked for supplies, not to mention the sun can be unbearable in the afternoon. My only complaint (not that I am really complaining) is that we were not aware that the half day disembarks on Ile St Marguerite, not in Cannes, so we had to take a ferry back to Cannes to get back on the train to Nice. But if you know that in advance, you can either visit the Island (really worth it if you're not over-heated) or take the 15 min ferry. Just wish we had know that ahead of time, as we expected to be dropped back in Cannes since that is where we picked up the catamaran. If staying in Nice, pay the 10 euro extra to ferry from Nice to Cannes through Trans Cote Azur at 9 am- they take you right to the catamaran and it is only marginally more expensive than the train. No walking from the train station to the port (about 2 km) and it's a gorgeous view of the area. Incredible day- a highlight!" - Trip Advisor
• "Book in advance and arrive early to get a good seat on the top deck. Great views that you would never see from the road or train. Captain was great and spoke English and (of course) French fluently and switched between the two regularly during the guided tour. He has a great sense of humor. Wooooo over the waves!" - Trip Advisor
