Boat Tour French Riviera Lerins Island

Only pro skipper on ToursByLocals. I am so glad to offer a boat tour that combines my experience as a guide and my passion for the sea. Let's make memories together by cruising around the Lerins islands ! I truly believe that the best way to discover and explore the French Riviera is with a private tour by a local guide. For the past 15 years I have shared with you the diversity of this amazing part of the world : On the road from Cannes to Monaco through Antibes, Nice and the medieval villages all the way to the nearby wilderness of the Alpes. I have designed private guided tours for you with the knowledge and the experience of a life-long local. After looking at the new dynamics of global tourism, and the interest of being away from the hustle and bustle, I have decided to launch for 2022 a new activity of private boat tours for you that will combine my passion for sailing and guiding. Now on, loaded with my professional captain licence, my aim , along with ToursByLocals, is to offer you the experience I would dream to have while visiting the rest of the world, making sure this boat tour will be as unique for you as for me, a day to remember forever. I've been sailing in the bay of Cannes since I was 3. At the age of 8, I joined a sailing club in Cannes where I still go and tackle the Mistral (strong wind) with their sport dingies. Now my two kids learn how to sail in the same club with the same coach I had. For the boat tours I have chosen a Rhea Marine, 27 ft PilotHouse. 5 passengers plus skipper. A vintage walkaround look, very elegant with a hull that guarantees an excellent seaworthiness. Large cockpit with benches and storage, PilotHouse with passenger seats and table, fore cabin with toilets. Large swim platform, snorkelling gear and Paddle board. A perfect fit for a boat tour to the Lerins Islands. As life goes on, I have to be honest, I enjoy life so much that I make sure that I love where I live and I love what I do. I have 30 years' experience working in the tourism industry in various fields. Starting as a summer-student job in the most famous Palace on the Croisette in Cannes, that was tough, but I definitely learnt a lot! Being trained as an artist I worked for 7 years in a local medieval village called Biot, selling my artwork to the rest of the world. I also spent 10 years in North America in search of adventure and other cultures. Along with my wife, we started and operated a resort by a lake in British Columbia where I used to offer guided services to our guests. Ten years ago, I finally came back home to the French Riviera with my wife and two kids to enjoy the multi-generational family time. Since I came back, I've been so excited to be guiding in one of the most beautiful places on earth. One thing that I find amazing with ToursByLocals, is when at the end of the day it has not just been a private day tour with a local guide but feels like we've spent the day together with friends. Yes! One of the most beautiful places on earth!
