Posted on Google Ali AlnasserTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Without a doubt, this was the best experience of our honeymoon and one of the most unforgettable moments of our trip. Everything was absolutely perfect from beginning to end. The yacht was immaculate, the views along the French Riviera were breathtaking, and every moment felt truly special. A huge thank you to Liga for her excellent communication and organization before our trip. Everything was perfectly arranged. Special thanks to Captain Simon, who made us feel safe while giving us an amazing and relaxing experience, and to Marcos, whose hospitality, professionalism, and attention to every detail made us feel like VIP guests throughout the charter. You all made this experience unforgettable. I also want to say something to anyone reading the reviews: don’t let a few negative comments stop you from booking. Our experience was flawless from start to finish, and the service exceeded every expectation. Unfortunately, not every review reflects the experience we had, and ours was nothing short of exceptional. Thank you again to the entire team for making our honeymoon so memorable. We will definitely be back, and we recommend this experience to anyone looking for something truly special. 🌅🛥️❤️Posted on Google Mohamed SlimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We were celebrating our Québec Saint-Jean Baptiste Day in family. The boat (Lady Liga looks and feels like brand new. Captain Simon is not only an amazing captain but a true gentleman. Marco took good care of us making sure we were happy. Their recommandation of the Italian restaurant La Spiagetta dei Balzi Rossi was amazing. Simon brought us in very nice areas for swimming, paddle boarding and snorkeling. Already looking at my agenda to book another reservation. Thanks again for this wonderful day!

We had the most incredible experience with Simon and Marco for our boat day from Beaulieu-sur-Mer—it was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Nice! We were a group of 8 girls, and from the moment we stepped on board, we felt so welcomed and well taken care of. Simon was fantastic—so friendly and knowledgeable, sharing interesting stories and pointing out all the stunning villas and coastline along the way. It really added an extra layer to the whole experience. The boat itself is absolutely beautiful, and Marco was an excellent skipper—professional, attentive, and made sure everything ran perfectly. Swimming in the crystal-clear water in front of Èze was simply unforgettable! If you’re looking for a special, relaxing, and memorable way to explore the Côte d’Azur, this is an absolute must. We couldn’t recommend it more!Posted on Google Jaselynn CootsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Simon made our trip unforgettable! From the moment we got on the boat, he was so kind, welcoming, and genuinely fun to be around. He knew all the best spots and showed us places we never would have found on our own. You can tell he truly loves what he does and wants everyone to have an amazing experience. His positive energy, local knowledge, and friendly personality made the whole day even more special. He shared special stories too! It was such an amazing experience. If you have Simon as your captain, you’re in for an incredible time. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Jasen CootsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Simon!!!!! Wow. Just a great time. Made our entire trip to Nice worth it.

The best boat you could ever rent in all of FrancePosted on Google Olivia SalvasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the best day on Lady Liga. Booked for our honeymoon and couldn’t have been a better day. Kind, respectful, accommodating, and personable. Sailed the coast of France into Italy, enjoying the scenery of the landscape and the company of the staff. A perfect, relaxed, friendly day for our honeymoon.Posted on Google Matthew BeardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the pleasure of booking with the Lady Liga! Captain Simon and his help, Marco were amazing. We booked for our honeymoon and had a great day on the water. We were able to tour the coast of Nice, France and enjoy lunch and swim in Italy!Posted on Google Mindy SchallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our full-day boat rental with Simon was one of the highlights of our trip to Nice. From the moment we stepped aboard, Simon made us feel completely welcome. We even had the pleasure of meeting his lovely wife, Léna, and their sweet dog, Mango, which made the experience feel so personal and special. The day itself was absolutely incredible. The water was crystal clear and breathtakingly beautiful, and Simon took us to a stunning waterfront restaurant that was only accessible by boat. It felt like something out of a postcard. Beer and champagne were provided, which made the day even more relaxing and enjoyable. A special thank you as well to Marco, who was so kind, attentive, and genuinely enjoyable to spend the day with. If you’re visiting Nice and looking for an unforgettable experience on the water, we cannot recommend Simon enough. His hospitality, knowledge of the area, and genuine kindness made this an experience we’ll never forget. We can’t wait to come back and do it again on our next visit to Nice!

Frequently asked questions
01 When is the best time to charter a boat?
The French Riviera sparkles year-round, but the golden season for boating runs from May to September. If you love buzzing harbours and lively beaches, the peak months of June to August are for you. For warm seas with fewer crowds, the shoulder months, May and September, offer the perfect balance. Winter, November to March, is quieter and cooler, making it less suited to water activities but still beautiful for coastal cruising.
02How do I book a boat with Rent a Boat by Hour?
Booking your adventure is simple. First, choose your yacht and confirm your preferred date and time with us by phone or email. Once secured, you’ll receive a secure PayPal link for your deposit.
03 Which destinations can I rent a boat from?
Your journey can begin from Nice, Villefranche, St Jean Cap Ferrat, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, or Monaco. Our home port is Port de Beaulieu, 50 Boulevard du Général Leclerc, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, France 06310. From there, the Riviera is yours to explore.
04 What types of boats are available?
Our fleet offers everything from luxury sports cruisers and sleek express yachts to agile sports motor yachts and spacious flybridge models. Whether you’re after speed, comfort, or panoramic views, each vessel delivers a premium Riviera experience.
05Are the boats insured and safe?
Absolutely. Every boat is fully insured and meets French maritime safety standards. You’ll find life jackets and other safety equipment on board. All charters are skippered by seasoned captains who know these waters intimately, so you can relax, unwind, and soak up the Riviera magic.
