Description

Every summer, the Cannes Pyrotechnic Art Festival Embrace the Côte d'Azur sky. And there's only one place from which to truly experience it: the sea.

On board our rigid-hulled inflatable boats, heading for the Lérins Islands at sunset. Between Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat, golden light bathes the turquoise waters of the Bay of Cannes. One hour by boat to reach the best lodges, far from the crowds packed onto the Croisette.

300 meters from the launch barges, the spectacle takes on another dimension. The sky ignites, reflections explode on the water, and the soundtrack envelops you. Our captains know the spots; they position the boat to maximize the field of vision while remaining at a regulatory safety distance.

The show lasts between 25 and 30 minutes, followed by a night return under the stars, with the lights of Cannes shimmering from the water. A complete sensory experience: the explosions overhead, the reflections on the waves, the soundtrack carrying without acoustic screens.

For evenings without fireworks, also discover our other sea excursions From Cannes and the Esterel, RIB boat trips in the calanques to catamaran privatizations. 12 passengers maximum. Very limited spots on each date.

The highlights of our Fireworks in Cannes from a Boat

Sunset at the Lérins Islands

Heading for the Lérins Islands at sunset: Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat islands bathed in golden light, the bay of Cannes quiet before the show. An hour's sail to reach the best seats, far from the crowds packed onto the Croisette.

From the front row, facing the barges

The captain positions the rigid-hulled inflatable boat 300 meters from the launch pads, facing the Croisette. Explosions light up the sky, reflections dance on the water, the soundtrack envelops the boat. A total sensory spectacle that only the sea allows, far from the hustle and bustle, without constraint.

6 dates, 12 places per date

6 dates in 2026 July 4th, July 14th, July 22nd, August 4th, August 15th, August 24th. Maximum 12 passengers per boat, very limited spots on each date. Evening return under the stars, with the lights of Cannes twinkling from the sea.
