Your frequently asked questions

  • Yes, totally.


    The excursions are designed for people who have never been on a boat.
    The skippers explain the course of the outing and ensure everyone's safety.


  • Semi-rigid boats sail at a steady speed and can be more demanding than catamarans in rough seas. If you are prone to seasickness, it is advisable to take preventative medication before boarding and to stay in the open air while looking at the horizon. Trips take place in calm seas, and conditions are always assessed by the captain before departure. The activity is not recommended for individuals with back problems or inner ear conditions.


  • Yes. Black Tenders offers tailor-made experiences for private groups, corporate events, birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and seminars:



    Several formats are available depending on your project: on a semi-rigid or catamaran for up to 18 people, with the possibility of coordinating several boats for large groups. Contact us via the Contact page for a personalized quote.


  • Yes. All Black Tenders captains hold the professional certifications required for passenger transport at sea, in accordance with French maritime regulations. They are also trained in first aid and maritime safety.


    These are local guides who know the French Riviera coastline perfectly: its coves, currents, swimming spots, and natural and architectural heritage. They share this knowledge throughout the excursions.


    Black Tenders also holds the label Quality Tourism, issued by the French Ministry of the Economy, certifying a service that meets reception and safety standards. To learn more about the team, visit the page Our story.


  • Three options coexist on the French Riviera. Cruising refers to a multi-day stay on board a ship with cabins, meals, and stops (cruise ships, habitable sailboats). A sea excursion is a full-day or half-day outing, typically shared with other passengers, with a fixed itinerary and onboard commentary. Boat rental, with or without a skipper, allows you to charter a vessel to create your own route: choice of swimming coves, duration of stops, and customized schedules. This last option is the most flexible but also the most expensive per day.
