Description
Every summer, the Cannes Pyrotechnic Art Festival illumines the sky of the French Riviera. The best viewpoint is undoubtedly: the sea. Onboard our rigid-hulled inflatable boats, set sail for the Lérins Islands at sunset. Between Sainte-Marguerite Island and Saint-Honorat Island, the golden light enhances the turquoise waters of the Bay of Cannes. About an hour's sail to reach a prime spot, far from the crowds on La Croisette. Nearly 300 meters from the firing barges, the show takes on a unique dimension. Fireworks ignite the sky, their reflections shimmer on the sea, and the soundtrack envelops everything. Our experienced captains select the best spots to offer an optimal viewing field, while respecting safety distances. The show lasts between 25 and 30 minutes.
Highlights of our Fireworks & Sunset Tour in Cannes from a Boat
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.
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 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.
We recommend arriving 30 minutes early at the port of Béal due to traffic and parking difficulties by the sea. If the boat departure is missed, the ticket is neither exchangeable nor refundable.
We reserve the right to postpone or cancel the activity in case of unfavorable weather conditions.
The captain reserves the right to modify or shorten the excursion in case of unfavorable weather or inappropriate passenger behavior compromising onboard safety. This cannot be grounds for any claim for compensation, refund, or reschedule.
