Catamaran Trip along the Estérel Calanques with Swimming Stops, SUP & Apéritif

About the Activity

What to Expect

Join us for a half-day catamaran trip to Cap Roux including swimming stops, stand up paddle and an apéritif! Our journey kicks off at the old port of Saint-Raphaël, where the friendly crew welcomes you aboard a fully equipped maxi catamaran that can comfortably host up to 80 people. After a brief introduction to the boat and the day's itinerary, we set off towards the stunning Esterel massif, known for its striking red rocks and the deep blue waters of the Mediterranean.

As we cruise along, we'll pass by the charming locations of Boulouris, Île d'Or, and Cap Dramont. Each offers its own unique blend of natural beauty and history, with the Île d'Or famously inspiring Hergé's ‘L'Île Noire’ in the adventures of Tintin. We will anchor between Cap Roux and the Anthéor viaduct, where an unspoilt cove awaits. Here, you can unwind or take a stand-up paddle to explore the serene surroundings, before we continue to the enchanting Bay of Agay and the Esterel creeks, where the landscape truly looks like a painting.

Before heading back to Saint-Raphaël, we make a delightful stop at the calanque des Contrebandiers, providing one last opportunity to soak in the marvellous scenery. The journey closes with a spectacular view of the Île d'Or once more, before we return to the port. Ideal for families, friends, couples, colleagues or solo travellers, this tour offers a perfect mix of relaxation and discovery along the stunning coast of Southern France.
