      Unforgettable Fireworks
      Unforgettable way to see the fireworks. Buffet was just okay but staff worked hard. Don’t forget cash for the bar.

      As catamaran veterans, disappointed
      My wife and I try to do a catamaran excursion when in great locations like Cannes. We know what “great” feels like, and this experience was a letdown. To be clear, Rivage Croisiere has great potential, especially with an awesome boat (our only positive), but the “experience” design is terrible. Here are the areas that the company can improve upon: 1) “Welcome Drink”: very misleading advertising. As opposed to walking on the boat and receiving a refreshing alcoholic beverage, we’re treated to a serve-yourself bowl of bottled orange juice and water. Guests must pay for all alcoholic drinks. 2) Dropped an anchor and sat still forever. For a half-day experience, we expected more variety in traveling to different locations. But no, just one location, where we stayed for 2.5 hours. This became boring quickly. And we couldn’t enjoy the water where we stayed because the water was full of jellyfish. 3) No entertainment or staff personality. Minimal music, no “ra ra” personalities from the staff. They were quiet and faded to the background - like they weren’t there. 4) Cold lunch buffet. Description says it all. 5) for half-day, you’re dropped off at an island and need to take a shuttle boat back to mainland Cannes. This was a complete surprise and not pleasant (lots of people and BO on a hot day). Tell your guests ahead of time this is how you operate. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this. Nice boat, but massive improvements needed.

      Half day cruise from Cannes
      The boat was wonderful, the water was fantastic and the crew really nice and helpful! The only disappointment was that the boat was crowded 😔. Too many passengers so it was really difficult to find a place to sit for me and my kids.

      Fun afternoon boat trip
      We took the afternoon half day trip for €55. Great afternoon with sailing and a 1.5hr stop where you can enjoy swimming in the bay having a go on the paddle boards, kayaks and snorkelling equipment. The staff are very very friendly and the experience is relaxed and fun for families, couples and friends. A good mix of people about the boat. Certainly not over crowed But enough for some atmosphere. They also put out cake and drinks on the way home which is great after all the activities in the bay. We tried to get on the half day trip with lunch but when we called in the office to book only the day before it was full. However there was space on the half day in the afternoon which we loved so made no difference not to take the morning one with lunch. Would highly recommend.

      Nice afternoon out on the water, a must!
      This is an excellent way to spend an afternoon out at sea. You get to swim in refreshing waters off Ste. Marguerite Island and the boat is very comfortable, with both shade and sun exposure. There is a bar on board and snacks are available as well. It’s definitely worth your time to take advantage of an afternoon cruise and enjoy the sea.

      Spectacular Firework Cruise
      Booked for the firework Spectacular cruise 6 months in advance the staff were very helpful with all the arrangements of paying. The whole finding the cruise and boarding the Catamaran was straight forward. The boat itself is first class, we had Prosecco to board and pizza slices, cruise round Cannes bay followed by an excellent buffet. All staff were very friendly and helpful. The boat the lay anchor in the bay in the perfect position for watching the amazing fireworks. Once finished we were quickly back and unloaded! Definitely recommend we all had a memorable night!

      What a perfect trip!
      We went on this trip as a group of 5. We had the most perfect day! From the moment you step in to the super clean, super bright, very well maintained catamaran-you are showered with attention. Orange juice and croissants are served when you just get on, followed by a very diverse and delicious lunch, and various sweets thereafter. Unlimited soft drinks are available free of charge the whole trip. Wine, beer and champagne are available for purchase for a very reasonable price. We forgot cash that day, but the crew let us open a tab and pay with the credit card after we disembarked. Every single member of the crew was nice and accomodating, scenery was to die for and the 2 places we stopped for a swim were surreally bEautiful! Would recomment this to anyone!

      Full day tour from Nice
      Although this trip departs from Cannes, the company offers a very convenient (but not well-publicised) boat transfer from Nice. The full day tour visits two different and beautiful locations for swimming, sunning and snorkelling. Laure and her team did an exceptional job looking after us and serving a fresh, healthy lunch full of Provencal flavour. Catamaran was very clean and well-maintained. Alone or in a small group, you'll have a great day out.

      Smooth day trip on the catamaran.
      My husband and I bought tickets last minute to the Sortie Régates Royales during our honeymoon trip in Cannes. It was a wonderful sight from the catamaran. The boats participating in the Royal Regatta were definitely a sight to see. The ride was smooth and fun. There were about 40 other people on the boat, but it was still a bit romantic. The ticket for the event included food and one or two drinks, I can't remember. I just know it was a great time. You will get some great photos while out on the catamaran.

      Very nice!
      Of course I prefer FOLLY TOO the sailing boat in same port, in Cannes for whole day sailing trip with a maximum 10 guests. I went on this catamaran for the evening's fireworks .It was great. No need to arrive early as catamaran arrives on time 20h. Two floors. I sat at the front downstairs on a deck chair and we sailed for one hour around the St Marguerite Islands until 21h at which stage we were back in Cannes's Bay ready for the fireworks of 22h00. You can buy some drinks during this time and there are free cold pizza and bread. Buffet and free drinks (incl wine) are served from 21h . A nice buffet with cold roastbeef, chicken, spinash and mushrooms tarts , pasta and rice salads. We were 42 passengers , there was enough for everyone. Three kind of nice quality tarts were served: apple, chocolate and strawberry as well as great melon and prunes. All in all a nice dinner and I am a difficult person to please usually... The staff were very helpful especially the lady. The boat was place perfectly to see the fireworks with coordinated music for the fireworks on the boat loud speakers. I sat downstairs at the back of the boat at that stage for the best view. After 30 minutes of fireworks we sailed again out for another 30 minutes towards the islands again and back to port with the coast illuminated . Very beautiful ! All is all it was a very nice 3 hours trip and I look forward doing it again !

      Beautiful day out!
      The boat is beautiful! The food was good - snacks morning and afternoon and a lovely mix of tasty salads, followed by fruit, dessert, coffees. You get a glass of Rose wine included, juice, and still or fizzy water. They have a good selection of snorkels to borrow when you stop off in the beautiful bays. There are lots of seating, relaxing areas on the upper and lower deck. You don't actually sail for as long as I had imagined, but the islands aren't that far away so it makes sense. If you like being on the water it really is a lovely way to spend a day. We have a 13yr old and a 9yr old and they both loved it.

    Such a great experience, would 100% recommend if you are considering booking this. The boat itself is so beautiful and spacious, the crew were so friendly and helpful and the views were incredible. When we went it was really windy so we couldn’t use the paddle boards or kayaks but we still managed to swim and it was lovely! Couldn’t fault it in any way.

    Beautiful Catamaran and professional staff.
    The most boring trip should’ve been cancelled as windy so dropped anchor at Theloue Sur Mer which 20 mins drive from Cannes. Couldn’t use paddle boards or kayaks only allowed to swim so sat with about 50 people and no room to sunbathe and we sat on the floor in the sun until someone moved to get a drink.
    No information on where we were no interesting coves. Might have well stayed on the Cannes beach and got in the sea for free. Total waste of time and money.
    I never leave bad reviews i felt the Captain had no interest no explanation and the other crew members empathised with me!
    So we bought drinks for more money to try to relax as we were frustrated!
    A waste of £140 euros for two people.
    Check the weather as they will take your money and go regardless.

    We had a fabulous day at sea. The boat is very large with ample space fir everyone e. Everything on board is of good quality and tasteful. The crew is amazingly friendly but not overbearing.

    Activities at sea are plenty with enough equipment for everyone.

    We enjoyed a copious buffet lunch witch was very tasty.

    The cruise is excellent value for money and I highly recommend.

    We were never informed we were being kicked off the boat to an Island. When we arrived at St Margaret Island we were told we :would get picked up within 1 hour and 15 minutes by another boat. There is no mention of this in any of descriptions or booking site. It took us an additional 1 1/2 hours to get back to our hotel. I felt deserted and there were tons of people on this island waiting there get back. What a complete mess. When the other boat arrived people were running and pushing each other. I did not sign up for this. I did not feel safe and it was a misrepresentation of the trip.

    We took the half- day tour with lunch and it was fantastic! The boat is very large and comfortable with many different seating options. The food for lunch was delicious and plentiful. I enjoyed having wine and beer available for purchase.
    Our cruise was delayed 30-45 minutes, but they seemed to continue with the full time allotted.
    Highly recommend this activity! A great way to get out on the water and enjoy the day!

    Weather was a little rough, but we still got to swim off the back of the boat in the Mediterranean Sea which was most important to us. The staff were friendly. Just an easy day on the Sea - nothing too exciting by perfect for my 13-year-old daughter any myself.

    I cannot figure out how to pay for reservation online. I won’t be in Cannes 36 hrs before our booking. Surely you can pay online somehow? There’s no link on our reservation confirmation. The payment section of the email has the 2 ports listed but those aren’t links. Am I supposed to pay at each of those ports? Do I pay online at each of those ports websites? Please help anyone, I cannot get anyone at Rivage Croisiere to contact me back. I’ve been trying for weeks. Please help anyone.

    The trip wasnt well managed with conflicting information with a terrible experience ultimately. Was told upon collecting my tickets that there was no issue with my puppy being allowed on board. So we bought the tickets and spent a day in Cannes looking forward to this trip. Evening came we went to the boat and was given a shocking piece of news from the captain: dogs are not allowed on the boat. The evening was totally ruined.
    It should be defined clearly in the terms and rules about that.

    It was lovely . The food and staff were brilliant. Would have liked to have stayed on the boat longer . Only little niggle , it was not explained that we would have to get a ferry back from an island until end of our cruise . It was no problem, but would have liked to have known at beginning of trip.
