Explore the Var coast in a unique way with Sea You Sun sea excursions!

Start your adventure from the port of Santa Lucia in Saint-Raphaël and board our comfortable boats for a getaway to the Lérins Islands archipelago, nestled in the Bay of Cannes. On your return, discover the majestic coves of the Estérel massif. In a friendly and intimate atmosphere, with a maximum of 12 passengers on board, let yourself be seduced by the sumptuous landscapes commented on by your captain.

Enjoy an excursion to Sainte-Marguerite Island, departing at 9am and returning at 15:30pm on Thursdays, where you can explore the island freely. At 3km long and 900m wide, this island offers a peaceful atmosphere and is steeped in captivating stories and legends. Stroll through lush flora of pines, eucalyptus, strawberry trees and tree heather, under the bright sunshine of the Côte d'Azur and beside the turquoise waters, offering an idyllic and relaxing panorama.

Visit the Musée de la Mer, home to Fort Royal, which was once the prison of the mysterious Man in the Iron Mask, imprisoned in 1687. Built by Richelieu and reinforced by Vauban in 1712, this fort also contains fascinating Roman archaeological remains on land and underwater, such as a remarkable collection of amphorae, tableware and Roman glassware discovered in the wrecks of the Tradeliére (1st century) and the Bataiguier (10th century).

After a stopover of around 3 hours, take the boat back towards the Pointe de l'Aiguille in Théoule-sur-Mer, passing along the spectacular coves of the Corniche d'Or with its red rocks, the coves of Anthéor and Barthelemy, as well as the charming hamlets of Trayas and Agay. You will also pass near the islet of Vieilles and the Île d'Or, dominated by Cap Roux, the Pic de l'Ours and Mont Vinaigre, the highest point of the Estérel massif.

If you have already admired the coves from land, you will be enchanted to discover them from a different angle from the sea. Your boat will take you as close as possible to the coastline, revealing the faults sculpted by erosion in the red rocks and secret coves accessible only by boat.

Enjoy a break under the Côte d'Azur sun with a cold drink during an anchorage, weather permitting, and why not cool off with a dip in the crystal clear waters? You will also approach the Golden Island, a source of inspiration for Hergé in “Tintin and the Black Island”, and discover the mysteries of the Corniche d'Or, a magnificent place for its biodiversity and colours.

Don't hesitate to ask your captain about the local fauna, flora and geology – he will be happy to share his knowledge with you.
