Operated by seaZen · Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur
The Mediterranean coastline around Beaulieu-sur-Mer, in the heart of France’s Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, unfolds with crystalline waters and dramatic cliffs that have inspired travelers for centuries. SeaZen offers a distinctive way to experience this famed stretch between Nice and Monaco aboard the world’s slowest solar-powered boat. This eco-conscious vessel moves quietly through the bay, its pace inviting you to sink into the serene rhythm of the sea and absorb the setting in a way no traditional speedboat can match.
What sets seaZen apart is its blend of sustainable technology and customizable adventure. The boat’s spacious lounging areas, both fore and aft, offer ample room to recline, sunbathe, or dip your feet into the water while taking in views of spectacular anchorages such as La Mala—a sheltered cove known for its sheer rock faces and turquoise depths—and Villefranche-sur-Mer, a picturesque harbor steeped in history and vibrant marine life.
Trips are private and tailored on board with the captain, giving guests control over their itinerary and the chance to focus on their interests, whether that’s snorkeling in hidden coves, savoring a meal you bring aboard, or simply drifting under the sun. SeaZen’s commitment to small group sizes means each voyage feels intimate and personalized.
Beyond the boat itself, this journey connects visitors to a lesser-seen side of the Côte d’Azur—one less crowded by tourists, more tuned to nature’s pace and the elegance of solar-powered movement. SeaZen redefines coastal travel with gentle, clean propulsion that honors the environment while delivering an unforgettable Mediterranean escape.
