Nice trip
Translated from Italian
Silvia · FamilyItaly · August 2026
A truly wonderful experience, highly recommended. The departure was very punctual, and the return journey was also punctual.
Only note: the onboard guide only spoke French, with no English translation—those who didn't understand French missed much of the explanations about the sights along the way.
Once we reached the Sanguinaires Islands, we had an hour and a half to explore them: enough time to climb up to the lighthouse, take beautiful photos, and then disembark for a swim. Be careful: there are no beaches, only rocks, so I recommend bringing water shoes for those who want to swim.
Overall, a wonderful experience, well-organized and with a perfectly respected schedule.
