Madison Barr2024-10-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I had the most incredible day out on the water in the South of France with Captain Simon—it was the highlight of our trip! The boat was stunning, and Simon’s knowledge of the area made the experience even more special. He made sure we were comfortable and taken care of from start to finish, with plenty of stops along the way to share fascinating history and give us amazing recommendations for the area. Simon and Mr. M were both wonderful company, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience on the water, do yourself a favor and book with Captain Simon! Much love from Arkansas and Dua Lipa. Tyler McKibben2024-10-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Perfect day out on the boat with Captain Simon and Mr M! Told us some very cool stories from his career and gave us plenty of opportunities to lay out, jump off and swim, etc. Thank you! Matt Delawder2024-08-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our favorite tour while visiting Provence and Nice. Truly a wonderful experience and the absolute best way to see the French Riviera. Our Captain Simon and his first-mate gave us a fantastic tour and helped us to make memories together while we celebrated our parent's 60th Anniversary. The ride on the yacht was extremely smooth and spacious. We stopped for a lovely lunch in Ventimiglia and saw the beautiful harbor of Monaco. Thanks for an amazing tour! Karine P2024-08-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing experience here. So glad I found them. We chartered the Fairline Grand Turismo for half a day and had the best time. Reasonably priced and the staff was very helpful and patient and helped me coordinate the best birthday surprise for my fiancé from 3,000 miles away. I met with Captain Simon just before the surprise to take the decorations. Everyone was very friendly and very organized, everything was set up perfectly when we arrived, I didn't have to worry about anything. We saw several luxury villas, super yachts, and had the opportunity to swim in some of the bluest water I had ever seen. I can't wait to come back for another charter. Jamie Garza2024-08-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing boat experience! I cannot say enough about this beautiful boat and amazing crew Simon and M. If you are on the fence about chartering this boat- just do it! Our family of 5 with 3 teenage girls had a lovely time and felt incredibly pampered. Our 4 hours flew by. We had several swim spots and great sightseeing along the coast of the French Riviera. EFJ2024-08-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing day on the water! Simon is the perfect captain, and the boat is top notch. Nothing better than a day on the water in the riviera, my second time on the Lady Liga in the last week! Can’t wait for next time. 🇫🇷🇫🇷 Katherine Busca2024-07-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fabulous day. Liga was excellent to work with. She answered many questions and returned emails quickly. Captain Simon and Mr. M. made sure every minute of our boat ride was taken care of. Our family had an amazing day swimming in the Mediterranean Sea, a wonderful boat ride and excellent lunch at a restaurant in Menton. This trip was the highlight of our stay in Nice. I strongly recommend you book this tour.
