What makes this French Riviera maxi catamaran special

One of the best ways to understand why the French Riviera is so famous is to see it from the sea. From land, Nice already offers beautiful walks, colorful façades and views of the Mediterranean, but as you sail towards Villefranche-sur-Mer or Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, the scenery opens up in a different way.

Cliffs, sheltered bays, waterside villas and coves appear — places that are easy to miss from the city. The crew takes care of departure, safety and anchoring, while you make the most of the afternoon by swimming, admiring the coast or enjoying the included aperitif.
