Experience the French Riviera without having to return to shore at the end of each day aboard Nikaia, our private Lagoon MY40 motor catamaran. A multi-day charter changes the entire rhythm of the experience. During the day, you cruise along the Riviera, swim in clear Mediterranean water and settle at anchor in beautiful coastal surroundings. As the afternoon ends and the day boats begin to return to port, your experience continues. The music softens, drinks are served on deck, dinner can be enjoyed at anchor and the coastline slowly lights up around you. The following morning begins directly on the water: a quiet breakfast, an early swim and a new day ahead, without packing, transfers or fixed hotel schedules. Nikaia is ideal for couples, families and small groups of friends looking for a private, comfortable and more immersive way to experience the South of France. A PRIVATE RIVIERA ITINERARY Multi-day charters depart from Port Canto in Cannes. The itinerary is created around the duration of your stay, the weather, sea conditions and the kind of experience you would like. Depending on the number of days available, the cruise may combine: the Bay of Cannes and the Lérins Islands
Cap d’Antibes and its anchorages
the red coastline of the Estérel
Saint-Tropez and the surrounding bays
Cap Ferrat and the eastern Riviera
swimming and snorkeling
paddleboarding
lunches and apéritifs on board
evenings and nights at anchor
selected coastal ports and villages We do not impose a rigid programme in advance. The Riviera is best enjoyed with enough flexibility to adapt the route each day. Kevin selects the most enjoyable and realistic navigation plan according to the weather and sea conditions, while avoiding unnecessary hours of cruising. The objective is not to collect destinations. It is to enjoy the right places, at the right time, with the freedom to let each day develop naturally. KEVIN, YOUR CAPTAIN Kevin is a Côte d’Azur native with more than 15 years of experience navigating in the Mediterranean. He knows the Riviera coastline, its anchorages and its changing conditions inside out. Throughout the stay, he takes care of the navigation, itinerary and anchorages so that the experience remains smooth from embarkation to return. His role is not simply to take the boat from one destination to another. He reads the sea, the weather and the pace of the group, allowing you to spend less time on unnecessary navigation and more time enjoying the places that make the Riviera special.
