Everything you need to know before your private boat trip from Cannes.
If you don’t find your answer here, Chris is happy to help on WhatsApp.
My priority is your safety and making sure your trip remains enjoyable. The decision is based on actual sea conditions: wind, swell and sea state, not simply whether the sun is shining.If conditions do not allow the trip to go ahead safely and comfortably, it is cancelled due to the weather and all amounts paid are refunded in full.
When you book directly, you speak with Chris without an intermediary about availability, timings, plans for the day and any special requests.You also benefit from the direct Chris Skipper Cannes rate, without the commissions added by major booking platforms.
Yes, of course.You are welcome to bring your own lunch, drinks or aperitif.In the Lérins Islands, you can also have food delivered directly to the boat or book a table at La Tonnelle or La Guérite.Restaurant meals and deliveries are at the guest’s expense and subject to availability.
Yes.Chris Skipper Cannes trips include everything needed for the Cannes–Lérins Islands route.The skipper and the fuel needed for this trip are included in the displayed price.No additional fuel charge is added when you return to port.
The destination depends on your chosen experience.Half-day and full-day trips mainly explore Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat, with stops at anchor for swimming, paddleboarding and snorkelling.Sunset trips take place in the early evening in the Bay of Cannes and around the Lérins Islands, depending on conditions.Fireworks evenings take place in the Bay of Cannes so you can enjoy the display from the sea.Chris always adapts the itinerary to sailing conditions and the pace of your group.
Children are welcome once they are old enough for a safe and comfortable boat trip, generally from around 4 to 5 years old.Unfortunately, pets are not allowed on board.The boat is not wheelchair accessible. If you have mild mobility difficulties, please contact Chris directly before booking so you can discuss whether boarding can be managed comfortably and safely.

Choose your experience, then contact Chris on WhatsApp with your preferred date, number of guests and, where relevant, preferred time slot.Chris personally checks the boat’s availability. If your preferred slot is available, you will be asked for the details needed to prepare the two contracts.You receive two separate contracts:one for the boat hire,the other for the skipper’s services.The quoted price already includes both services.You then receive the documents and a link to pay the 50% deposit. Your booking is confirmed only once both signed contracts and the deposit have been received.The balance is paid under the terms set out in the contracts. If Chris cancels the trip because of the weather, all amounts paid are refunded in full.
The boat departs at the scheduled time.If your group arrives late, the trip may be shortened to avoid delaying subsequent bookings.Extending your trip may be possible, depending on the availability of the boat and Chris.Simply ask Chris during your trip.
Any security deposit terms that apply to your booking are specified in the contractual documents sent before your trip. Please contact Chris directly if you have any questions.
Departure is from Cannes Old Port, Quai La Pantiero.Convenient options include Parking Pantiero, right by the port, and Parking Suquet-Forville.In high season, allow plenty of time to park so you can reach the meeting point before departure.
