From Mandelieu-la-Napoule, Bateau ANNETT offers Mediterranean trips to observe wild dolphins, whales and other marine mammals. The crew notably uses aerial spotting to look for animals, whose presence is never guaranteed. Small-group excursions also focus on discovering marine wildlife.
Full or half day: what options are available in 2026?
- Half day: €210 per person, departure around 08:00, return around 13:00, marine-mammal spotting, drinks and surface-observation equipment advertised.
- Full day: €280 per person, departure around 08:00, return around 16:30, with longer sailing, snacks and drinks.
Encounters may include other species such as turtles, mobula rays or sunfish. The provider mentions opportunities to enter the water to observe certain species, depending on conditions and regulations. The activity does not involve chasing or touching dolphins.
Where do you board?
The official meeting point is at 678 avenue de la Mer, 06210 Mandelieu-la-Napoule, opposite Hôtel Îlot du Golf. Confirm the boat and exact time when booking. The provider uses a boat equipped for longer days and a fast craft for shorter outings.
A little something extra: an offshore excursion rather than a simple coastal cruise, with the aim of observing cetaceans in their natural environment.
