Cannes Sunset Jet Ski Tour to the Lerins Islands
Chase the golden hour across the Mediterranean aboard a guided jet ski adventure from Cannes
This sunset jet ski tour from Cannes takes riders along one of the most scenic stretches of the French Riviera, from the coastline of Cap d'Antibes to the tranquil waters surrounding the Lerins Islands. The tour is designed for all levels, with no prior license or experience required.
As the afternoon light softens, the sea settles into a calm that makes the Mediterranean feel like a different place entirely. Riders cover a route that passes luxury waterfront villas, a historic lighthouse, and open water channels that few visitors ever see from the surface.
A state-certified instructor leads every session, handling navigation while pointing out the most photogenic spots along the way. The pace balances active riding with moments to stop, take in the surroundings, or take a quick swim in the clear water between the two main islands.
The return leg faces directly into the fading sun as it drops behind the Esterel Massif, a natural backdrop that is difficult to replicate at any other time of day. The experience is as much about the scenery as it is about the ride itself.
Tour Highlights
Ride during the golden hour as the sky shifts from blue to orange over the Esterel mountains and the open Mediterranean.
Reach the crystal-clear channel between Saint-Honorat and Sainte-Marguerite, two protected islands rarely visited by standard boat tours.
Explore hidden coves and turquoise inlets only accessible by water, away from the crowded Cannes shoreline.
A dedicated photo stop at the islands gives riders time to capture the scenery or cool off with a swim before sunset.
Pass alongside the lighthouse of Cap d'Antibes, framed by the evening light and the silhouettes of historic coastal villas.
A certified instructor accompanies every group, making this tour accessible to first-time riders without any license requirement.
Enjoy the freedom of open-water riding during the quietest part of the day, when sea traffic and afternoon chop are at their lowest.
Tour Itinerary
The session begins with a safety briefing from your certified instructor, including a full equipment check. The group then departs from the port and heads out into open water.
Riders cruise alongside the coastline of Cap d'Antibes, passing waterfront villas and the famous lighthouse under the warm tones of the evening light. This stretch offers some of the most recognizable views on the Riviera.
The group reaches the clear waters between Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat islands, where the sea is calm and exceptionally transparent. This is a designated stop for photos or a short swim as the sun continues to lower.
The final leg heads back toward Cannes with the Esterel Massif directly ahead as the sun sets behind its ridgeline. The open sea at this hour is quiet, giving riders space to enjoy a faster, more open ride back to port.
