From the Vieux-Port de Cannes, Yacht Me Up - Cannes Sailing Fever offers entirely private cruises with a skipper aboard Fripouille, a Dufour 382 sailing yacht. Itineraries centre on the îles de Lérins, Estérel and anchorages in Cannes bay.
Which option should you choose in 2026?
The half-day lasts 4 hours, the full day 7 hours, and the sunset trip approximately 2 hours 30 minutes. A 6-hour winter package is also available from November to April. Every trip is private: the boat is not shared with other groups.
What is included?
The skipper, fuel, paddleboard, snorkelling equipment, drinks and aperitif are all included in the advertised service. Depending on the route, the captain may suggest swimming around Sainte-Marguerite or Saint-Honorat, passing the underwater Écomusée or sailing towards the red rocks of Estérel.
Where do you board?
Departure is from Vieux-Port de Cannes, jetée Albert-Édouard. The itinerary is personalised with the captain according to the duration chosen, weather and group's wishes.
The added attraction
Brice, the captain, describes himself as both skipper and local guide. The experience is designed as a bespoke outing rather than a group tour with fixed timings and stops.
This is therefore particularly suitable for those seeking genuine private hire with a skipper rather than an individual seat on a sightseeing boat or tourist catamaran.
