Board a private evening cruise from Cannes and watch the Lérins Islands transform under a Mediterranean sunset. This four‑hour voyage mixes calm swimming and snorkeling with historic shores and a twilight return to Cannes’ glittering harbor.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The boat slips away from Cannes as the harbor lights shrink and the Mediterranean breathes cool across the bow. Salt air and the distant call of gulls set the tempo; ahead, the low-profile silhouette of Île Sainte-Marguerite and the stoic monastery isle of Saint-Honorat cut the horizon. Guests settle on deck, cameras down as the sky passes through ochre and mauve, the sun sliding behind the Esterel ridgeline.
