Itinerary

Starting location:: Port Santa Lucia, Saint-Raphaël, France
Ile d'Or: The Île d'Or (Golden Island) is one of the most beautiful symbols of the Estérel Côte d'Azur destination. Visible from Dramont beach, its tall tower is intriguing. It has inspired the world of comics and cinema. Here, we reveal the mysteries of this small island off the coast of Saint-Raphaël.
Calanques of the Esterel: Cap Dramont is a preserved natural area that offers breathtaking landscapes overlooking Ile d’Or, the bay of Agay and as far as the Estérel.
The Island of the Old Women: The cove on Île des Vieilles is located near Île des Vieilles; it's a rather wild cove and not signposted. Surrounded by turquoise water and red rocks, you can relax in a pleasant setting.

David was more than welcoming and very friendly. The boat was a bit disappointing because it was listed as a two-cabin charter, and we originally wanted to rent the boat for two days for four people. It would have been impossible to sleep four people on this boat. Even two, but in that case, there's only a very small refrigerator. The boat had a problem with the windlass, and the fuel level display wasn't working. We only recommend this boat for lazy days on the islands or other coves near Cannes, and if you need a skipper because you're not comfortable sailing, David is super friendly.
