From Cannes since 2026
A red boat, a Cannes skipper
Our own company and our own boat: rebuilt in Brittany, then brought to Cannes by sea.
Why Azuréen
Azuréen is our own company. We run the cruises ourselves, with a skipper who grew up on the water.
I was raised on a boat and spent more than ten years travelling the world on a 35-foot yacht. After five years as a war reporter for TV news, I came back to the sea for good and launched Azuréen in May 2026, to share the Lérins Islands from the water.
“The Lérins Islands are like the French Maldives: a fantastic spot, out of time, in France.”

How L’Azuréen came home
A year of refit and paperwork, then a month and a half through the Bay of Biscay and the canals of France. Tap a stop to see the photo.

We had such an amazing time! Definitely the highlight of our trip! Alexis was so nice and super flexible, and we were able to spend a lot of time swimming and paddleboarding in the water, which was fabulous. The boat was perfect, it was super spacious and we could bring drinks and snacks easily. Alexis was so informative about the sights we passed, and even let us drive the boat which was cool. We loved this so much and would highly recommend to everyone looking for a really fun boat day!
We had a great time. Water was beautiful, team was friendly. The group size is just right – felt personal but social. Great value for money and we are so glad we did it!
It was amazing! Would 100% recommend
