Embark on a comfortable boat, privatised just for your group, and set off from Saint-Raphaël to explore the Golden Island (Ile d'Or) and the Esterel creeks!

Saint-Raphaël is a charming seaside town on the Côte d'Azur, in the Var department, between Cannes and Saint-Tropez. Renowned for its Mediterranean coastline, magnificent beaches and privileged access to some of the region's most beautiful natural sites, such as the Golden Island (Ile d'Or) and the Esterel Creeks, Saint-Raphaël is the ideal starting point for a boat trip on the Côte d'Azur. To make this outing even more exceptional, choose this private boat cruise in Saint-Raphaël and enjoy an exclusive, tailor-made experience!

During this outing, your professional skipper will take you on a 3-hour cruise to the Ile d'Or and the Estérel Creeks. You will first sail by boat to the Ile d'Or, a small island famous for its wild landscapes, crystal-clear waters and 12th-century tower. As you admire the beauty of the site, the skipper will share with you anecdotes and the fascinating history of this unique island. Next, you'll sail to the Estérel Creeks, where glowing red cliffs blend harmoniously with the deep blue sea. The boat will plunge into secret coves and passages, revealing unspoilt corners that only a boat trip to the Estérel Creeks can reveal. The wild beauty of these places, combined with your skipper's fascinating explanations, will make every moment magical!

Halfway along the route, you'll stop in a secluded cove to enjoy a moment of relaxation. Using the snorkelling equipment provided by the crew (flippers, mask, snorkel), you can dive into the clear waters of the Mediterranean and explore its seabed. There will be live music on board, which you can enjoy with a cool drink after your swimming break. Finally, the cruise will take you back to Saint-Raphaël, skirting the coast so that you can enjoy the panoramic views one last time.

Join this private cruise to the Golden Island and the Esterel Creeks for an unforgettable experience departing from Saint-Raphaël this summer!
