Overview

Let yourself be carried... It’s time for relaxation.
Board our maxi-catamarans for an afternoon at sea under the sign of relaxation, between grandiose landscapes and idyllic anchorage in the heart of the red rocks of the Esterel.
Along the coast, the landscapes pass in front of you: Cap Dramont, Bay of Agay, wild coves, to a preserved creek between Cap Roux and the viaduct of Anthéor where the catamaran anchors. Here, no imposed program: you choose. Paddle, snorkel... or just lazing. An aperitif (punch planter) is served on board.
Sailing then continues quietly, with a passage through the smugglers’ cove and the emblematic Golden Island, this rock that inspired Hergé for “The Black Island” in the adventures of Tintin.
Everything is included: sailing, crew, anchorage, paddles, snorkeling, soft drinks and aperitif (punch planter). Nothing to add on board: just enjoy the moment.
