Arrive at the Lérins Islands for lunch at La Tonnelle, a waterfront restaurant with panoramic views of the lagoon — your feet in the water, the Riviera on your plate.

Snorkel around the submerged statues of Cannes’ underwater eco-museum, then glide peacefully on a paddleboard between the pines and the calm turquoise sea.

As the sun begins to set, anchor between the islands for a dinner served on board. Tranquility, golden light, and a gentle night spent on the water round off the perfect first day.

Enjoy breakfast on deck with views of the majestic Cap Roux, followed by a scenic sail past the famous villa from The Transporter — where red cliffs meet deep blue sea.

Take a break for swimming and paddleboarding in the Gulf of Agay, a calm and protected bay nestled at the base of the Estérel hills.

Wrap up the adventure with lunch by the sea at La Tortu or La Villa Mauresque, then make a final stop in front of the iconic Île d’Or — a striking rocky islet rising from the sea — before cruising back to Saint-Raphaël.
