Soirée 2h50 delivers a private, late‑afternoon escape along the French Riviera, departing from Bateau SeaZen à Beaulieu-sur-Mer and cruising the luminous coastline between Beaulieu, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and Èze. On this 2 hour 50 minute outing you’ll glide aboard an electric, 100% solar-powered boat designed for quiet passage and minimal footprint. The craft is reserved exclusively for your group (maximum 6 personnes), and your captain-guide tailors the route to sea conditions and your wishes: a relaxed swim from a protected mooring, a snorkel among clear Mediterranean water, and a close-up run past private villas and grand hotels.
The itinerary reads like a miniature tour of Riviera glamour: Hôtel La Réserve, Villa Kérylos, Hôtel Royal Riviera, Villa David Niven, viewpoints on Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, the small harbours of La Petite Afrique and the elevated perspective toward Èze. Geological notes stand out—the coast alternates low limestone headlands and small pebble coves where waves polish pale rock and Posidonia sea grass beds sustain local marine life. Expect a palette of late-gold light sliding behind the coastal ridgeline as yachts and fishing skiffs punctuate the horizon.
What makes this cruise special is the combination of stealthy technology and intimate scale: the solar electric drive means conversations and wildlife encounters are undisturbed by diesel noise, and a private booking ensures you call the shots on stops and swimming. The small group size and captain’s local knowledge give access to sheltered anchorages that larger boats skip, and the inclusion of masks and tubas makes spontaneous snorkeling easy. Note practical trade-offs: the boat does not have a WC or changing room aboard, and food is not provided to avoid heavy supplementary fees—guests are encouraged to bring a picnic or pre-order delivery following the provider’s guidance.
This experience is ideal for travelers seeking a low-impact, personalized sunset on the Côte d’Azur: couples marking an occasion, small friend groups, or anyone who prefers calm waters and a curated coastline passage rather than a crowded passenger cruise. Bring warm layers for after-sunset, reef-safe sunscreen, and shoes that protect the boat’s cork deck. Check-in at Bateau SeaZen à Beaulieu-sur-Mer and let your captain shape the final plan—whether you want a last dip in the sea as light fades or a prolonged drift to watch villa lights ignite along the shore.
