About this experience

On this boat trip, participants will sail along the coastline of the Lérins Islands, located off the French Riviera. The experience includes sailing past Île Sainte-Marguerite, where travelers can learn about the legend of the Man in the Iron Mask and see Fort Royal. During the trip, there will be opportunities to swim in the crystal-clear waters, with scheduled stops from May 15th to September 15th for swimming in a secluded cove. Snorkeling equipment and a paddleboard are provided for guests to explore the underwater environment. For the remainder of the year, when swimming is not feasible due to colder temperatures, a one-hour stopover at Île Sainte-Marguerite is included for exploring the old village, the former prison, the natural salt lake, and the surrounding forest. This experience is suitable for those who enjoy water activities and scenic views, but may not be ideal for individuals who are not comfortable with water-based excursions.
