An unforgettable trip on a comfortable boat. It’s a must-do in Cannes. Captain Jeremy was very pleasant and attentive to our needs, ensuring our time on board was comfortable. We will definitely be back. I recommend Leo Boat if safety and comfort are important to you.

Absolutely unforgettable expérience.

If you’re visiting Cannes, this is without a doubt the best way to discover the French Riviera. Cruising to the Lérins Islands was the highlight of our trip. The water was unbelievably clear, with beautiful turquoise lagoons that looked straight out of the Caribbean. Our skipper Raphael was professional, friendly, and knew the area. We enjoyed snorkeling, paddle boarding, relaxing on the boat, and exploring the coastline. The boat was comfortable, and perfectly equipped. Being able to simply relax while a professional skipper handled everything made the experience completely stress-free. If you’re considering a boat rental in Cannes, don’t hesitate. This experience is worth every dollar and creates memories that will last a lifetime. We would book again!

Relaxed boat trip to beautiful places.

Fantastically arranged. Nice and quiet sailing to the lerin islands. We had the morning trip. It was quiet when we arrived and could therefore lie in the most beautiful places by boat. We had also rented the sea Bob. That was an unmitigated success. Definitely recommended. We will definitely book a boat trip with them next time we are in Cannes.

Operator response

Thank you very much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed a relaxed morning trip to the Lérins Islands and that everything was perfectly organized. It’s great to know the Seabob was such a success, it’s definitely a favorite on board! Thank you for the recommendation, and we look forward to welcoming you back on another boat trip when you return to Cannes. Rapha – Leo Boat

Worst Experience on an Excursion Ever

Our famiy booked a boat trip a month ahead of time and paid 585.00 paid in full. We arrived at the dock for our cruise at 1:30 we noticed when we got there that the boat was not in the slip. I called the captain 2 times and got his answering machine. I flagged a man who worked at the marina and asked him if he could help us. He was very kind and helped us . He called the captain twice and also got the answering machine. Evenytually the captain called back and indicated that he took a group of seven that he thought was us by mistake. At this time our four hour trip was down to three hours. The captain who was supposed to take us a group of 8 contacted another captain this was around 2:30 when he arrived. They admitted they made a mistake. My friend asked why he took another family and didn't ask for any identification. The other captain said he never asks for identification and this never happened before. The captain brought us to a different boat in a different slip. We boarded the boat and he immediately told that the trip would cost an additional three hundred dollars. This would have made a three hour trip 985.00. At that point we refused to pay extra for the trip that was less then 3 hours. The second captain said we would get a refund in full for the mistake. The captain who took the wrong family said he would not give us a refund. We are disputing this with my bank and Viator to get a refund for services not rendered. I would not reccomend this for anyone I feel completely ripped off and extremely sad that my family and my friends family were treated this way. I am even more upset that we wasted a whole afternoon of our European Cruise and Viator has refused to give us a refund. We feel like the captain was fraudster and we feel like we were scammed

Terrible and unsafe

This boat was undersized for our group of 8. We should not have been out on choppy waters especially with children and more people than the boat comfortably carries. Irresponsible and unsafe. The water was too rough to visit either island. Got to swim off boat for less than 30 mins. The return to shore felt like we might actually die or certainly be thrown from boat. Aggressive waves crashing over boat soaking us all. I have requested a refund but no response at all from the company. Very much regret this booking. Our skipper tried her best but even in good conditions her English was not great and she was certainly not prepared to be any kind of tour guide. Terrible way to spend 850 euro not to mention a day of our France vacation.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sincerely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Safety and customer satisfaction are at the core of everything we do. We always monitor weather conditions carefully, and in cases of wind alerts, rain, or any dangerous forecast, we cancel or offer to reschedule tours As many of our guests can confirm. In fact, multiple tours were conducted at the same time, on the same day with similar boats, booked through this platform, and you are the only one that resulted in negative feedback. From the beginning, communication with you proved difficult, and despite our efforts to ensure a positive experience for everyone, sometimes the dynamic makes it challenging to deliver the smooth and enjoyable tour we strive for. The boat you were on is legally certified for more than 8 passengers and was operating well within its capacity. We understand that comfort expectations may vary, especially with children onboard. However, the photos shown during the booking process accurately reflect the boat you reserved. For guests seeking more space or amenities, we do offer larger and more luxurious boats. Which are clearly detailed on our website and booking platforms. Again, it is the first complain about that. Your skipper acted responsibly and professionally, prioritizing safety at all times. While she may not be a native English speaker or a tour guide by profession, she is a qualified and experienced captain. We have now received your refund request and will respond to it promptly. Our team is reviewing your booking and experience, and you will hear from us shortly. Again, we’re sorry your day didn’t turn out as expected. Kind regards.

Loved our day on the water in Cannes.

Camelia was an amazing skipper and hostess for our 1/2 day boat rental in Cannes. This was one of the highlights of our trip. She ensured we were comfortable and having a great time. The water was beautiful, with a good amount of fish to see if you like to snorkel. We spent several carefree hours relaxing in and around the boat, enjoying the paddleboard and other water "toys" provided. Camelia was accommodating, kind, and fun to talk with. She even took a few photos of and with our group. Communication was great before our arrival. We went into the experience knowing fully what to expect. All experiences we had matched the description of the service offered.
