Our website is getting a makeover. Faster, more comprehensive, designed to let you explore the French Riviera in just a few clicks and book the experience that suits you. Here's what's changing, and why we wanted this redesign.
A shop window worthy of the French Riviera
The French Riviera is one of the most sought-after coastlines in the world, and the nautical market there is dominated by large international platforms. When a traveler looks for a sea excursion between Nice and Saint-Tropez, they first come across giants like GetYourGuide, Viator, or Bókun, which aggregate thousands of often interchangeable offers.
We wanted a site that could stand up to these players on their own turf. Not to resemble them, but to offer our visitors a direct alternative: a polished booking page, a clear visual identity, precise information about each outing, and the assurance of speaking directly to the crew who will welcome you aboard.
Find the excursion that suits you in seconds
The heart of the redesign is the navigation. The new site is organized around two main entry points: excursions by destination and departure cities.
Do you know what you want to see? Our pages of’Thematic excursions cover the most beautiful excursions in the region: the Lérins Islands, the calanques of Esterel, the sunset in the bay of Cannes, the fireworks display from the sea during the Pyrotechnic Art Festival, the day trip to Saint-Tropez, or Monaco seen from the Rock.
Are you leaving from a specific city? Our city pages show you all the exits accessible from your port:
- Cannes and the Old Port, the historic starting point for Lérins and Estérel
- Nice, view of Villefranche, Cap-Ferrat and Monaco
- Monaco, for getaways to the Italian Riviera
- Mandelieu, Antibes, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and our other departure ports
Each excursion details its itinerary, duration, the boat used, what is included on board, and the actual price with no hidden fees. You know exactly what you are booking before you click.
A direct booking, without an intermediary
Booking directly with us is a choice that concretely changes your experience. No intermediaries between you and the crew, no hidden commissions that inflate the price, and human contact in case of unforeseen events (weather, schedule changes, special requests).
The new booking funnel is mobile-first, because the majority of our visitors book from their phones, often while on vacation, sometimes at the last minute. A few clear steps, a transparent summary, and immediate confirmation. For custom projects (birthdays, marriage proposals, corporate seminars), a On-demand experiences page allows you to contact us directly with your brief.
A redesign for the long term
This new version is not an end in itself, it's a foundation. It has been designed to evolve with our releases, our seasons, our new excursions, and the feedback you provide us. New content will arrive regularly: port guides, focuses on remarkable sites seen from the sea, explanations about our boats and our crew.
If you notice something that could be improved, or if you have a suggestion for an excursion or content, please let us know. That's also why we created this site: to have a place that truly belongs to us, where the conversation with our customers remains direct.
Welcome to the new Black Tenders Events. Whether you are preparing a trip to the Lérins Islands, a day in Saint-Tropez, or a marriage proposal at sea, you've come to the right place. See you soon on board.
