Very highly recommended - this is great! - This trip is soooo good. Lovely boats, nice engines, super skipper (Stephane). There is nothing less than great for this tour. The boats are super-safe and our skipper was friendly, professional, safe, knowledgeable, enthusiastic. He related to everyone on board to make the best of the trip for each individual. The trip lasts a full 2.5 hours. High-speed fun across the bay, then a guided tour along the coast pointing out interesting bits and pieces. First anchor in a lovely cove for snorkelling, then more tour, then more snorkelling. Another safe and exhilarating fun high-speed blast (what a boat!) back across the bay back to base and off we went with a grateful handshake. Good value too.

Nice trip on the water - Good trip and good guide, who both spoke English and French. Good exchange between information, architecture and not least to get out and swim in the lovely water.

Fantastic Voyage - We had a beautiful trip on the water. The scenery of the coastline was incredible and there was time allotted to get out and do some swimming/snorkeling. It was the highlight of our holiday. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Could not ask for a better time.

Great boat trip. - Boat trips not to be missed if you are around Mandelieu, Theoule or Nice. Excursion to the top for young and old! Suitable for families and friends 🤩 Everything is very well organized: the welcome, the advice, the stops, the explanations of the captain throughout the sail, drinks available and snacks on board... great atmosphere on board thanks to Captain Stéphane. Many thanks to Émile and his entire Black Tenders team.

memorable memories - An excursion that we definitely recommend and that we all loved unanimously. We were 2 families (9 in total) and we were lucky to have the boat to ourselves. Our guide “little Stephane” ☺️ was absolutely great in telling us legends and giving us a ton of information of all kinds about the area, places to visit, upcoming events, geological formations, hiking trails, architecture of villas on the coast, and so on. He integrated super well and adapted to our group, and took care of us very well. Since we were all good swimmers, he adapted the swimming sessions to our level and also took us swimming in a bay where we could go swimming in a small cave. There was not much flotation aid for swimming on the boat and very little snorkelling equipment (2 fries and 2 small masks only), contrary to what we understood on the description, so I recommend you bring your own. We had brought some masks and goggles in our backpacks which served us well in the end. There is also a safe on the boat in which we were able to store some personal effects and towels. We didn’t really need the towels even if we stopped to swim twice; we let ourselves dry in the sun and wind in the boat afterwards.

Simply Amazing - Simply amazing experience. Crew was very friendly. Experienced Captain. Very Safe. I advise to get your own snorkling equipment with you to enjoy the underwaters to the fullest.

Unprofessional manager - Unfortunately, the overall experience drags down slightly due to an incident with a diving mask I bought on site. The mask released the second time I’ve used since the same trip, which made me panic in the water. When I tried to claim it, I didn't get a hearing from the seller. She claimed that there was nothing wrong with the product and that they “never had problems before”. The most remarkable thing was that she said: “What if more people like you want compensation? There's nothing I can do. You can give it away to your children.” It felt both unprofessional and irresponsible, especially when it comes to safety equipment. I could never he away it and expose someone else to the same experience. I could neither use nor feel safe with the product, and therefore chose to leave the mask behind – even though I paid for it. The guide was super good 5✨ shame this pulled it all down.
