No-licence boat rental in Nice

Licensed boat rental in Nice: explore at your own pace
Already hold a boating licence? Nice becomes your ultimate playground. Opt for a full-day boat rental and freely discover the hidden gems of the French Riviera: from the grand villas of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat to the port of Monaco, or the crystal-clear waters around the Lérins Islands near Cannes. Take your time anchoring in secret coves, diving into translucent water and soaking up the Mediterranean way of life.
Local rental companies offer a wide selection of boats with or without a skipper, depending on how independently you wish to navigate. You can book online in advance or directly at the port of Nice.
