Boat rental in Nice · Cours De Voile Sur Sparkman & Stephens — Alpa 21 (1982)

Jacques was a very likeable and trusting host. The boat was as described although is showing its age. That said everything worked just fine - the engine ran perfectly in the very light winds and we did mange to set the sails briefly when the breeze finally picked up. This rental was great value and I would not hesitate to recommend Jacques boat to anyone looking for a budget day on the water in this beautiful location.

Amazing experience with Capt jack best day ever

Thanks to Jacques for a fantastic day , the boat was excellent, our kids enjoyed swimming and diving practice in beautiful Villefrench sur mer , and some sailing too!

Jacques is the best. His sailboat fits 4 people plus him perfectly. He showed us a nice restaurant where we sailed to and ate. We walked around a village and swam. If you need just float in the water he has things for those too. He is a kind hearted genuine soul who deserves to share his captain skills to those who are willing to listen.

I had a great, relaxing time on board, find out a lot about Nice, sailing at the Cote d Azurre. Thank you Jacques. I was expecting a little more time on water and sailing but had a fantastik time anyway.

My husband and I went out for the day and had the best time sailing! The boat was easy to handle and Jacques showed us everything we need to know and was very responsive. Great value for such a fun day!

Had a great day with Jacques! really welcoming and helped explain to us how everything worked, also very knowledgable of the surrounding areas! We are hoping to repeat on our next trip to Nice! :-)

Jacques is friendly and accommodating. He explained all of the boat’s systems and provided exceptional local knowledge. We can’t wait to sailing again!

Jaques was very friendly and not a boring moment. We had a great view of Nice and it was very relaxing. Great vibe and learned sailing too. We had a refreshing dip around a beautiful spot on St Jean Cap Ferrat.

We enjoyed our day on the water immensely. Jacques and my husband, also a sailor, enjoyed discussing their mutual love of sailing. We were hampered by light winds, but still motored to Ville Francaise for a delicious lunch at the nautical club, a walk through the village, a dip of our toes in the Med. We passed on the swim/snorkle. Jacques was a wonderful guide, host and very pleasant. We would definitely book with him again! Thank you, Captain!

We had a great sail, it was cut short for wavy conditions. Jacques offered to do it another day. Still waiting to hear if we are going out sailing.

Jacques was a great host and gave us so much information about the area (I appreciate that he spoke English). He was laid back and it was clear he loved sailing. It was such a relaxing day! Thank you!

What a wonderful day out on the water with our host, Jacques. He has a great knowledge of the area and took us to lovely bays in which to swim and relax in the sun. He had snorkeling gear for us all and floaters to allow us to just be in the water or look at the fishes and relax in the moment. It has been one of those days on the water that will always stay with us.

Highly recommend for your holiday! Captain Jack was amazing and very accommodating. Had everything we needed! Thanks so much for a great day

Great day with Jacques on the boat. He was very pleasant and friendly. He had great information of the locality and took us around like a tour guide. The boat was lovely and fun! Such a great day, thanks Jacques!

My sailing day in Nizza with Captain Jack and his boat was absolutely incredible! Jack's hospitality, combined with the stunning coastline and smooth sail, created the perfect experience. The pick-up and drop-off at Nizza port were convenient!

We had a fantastic day with Captain Jack on the boat, a nice swim and lunch. It was a perfect day with our two children. Wonderful!

We had an amazing afternoon out with Jacques. He is kind, welcoming, super informative of the area, and a great instructor! We enjoyed several nice swimming spots and just relaxing at an easy sail.

We had a great day with Jacques! He took us to some of the most beautiful spots of the French Riviera and we learned a lot about Nice and its neighbouring areas. He had noodle floaties for us as well as snorkels and goggles so we could better appreciate the swim stops. We can’t wait to come back!

Our sailing day around Saint Jean Cap Ferrat was perfect. Jacques is very friendly and is great to chat with. He knows the area very well. We would recommend everyone to sail with him. 10/10

Captain Jacques was an amazing guide. He was very helpful and made suggestions to our itinerary due to the weather and we ended up having a great day! He even let us take our little dog with us on the boat! He had everything we needed and more - snorkel equipment, extra towel, noodles. Would definitely love to book another trip with him in the future!

We had a great time, thank you!

Perfect boat day! Jacques was so informative and kind, had an amazing time! Would highly recommend :)

Jacques was wonderful! We loved the trip & as an aspiring sailor, I was really excited to get some tips from him. We even got to go snorkeling in the Med! He was knowledgeable and friendly, and we’re so glad to have someone to visit when we come back to Nice!

We had a wonderful time sailing Jacques boat along the coast of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. He was very welcoming and the boat was perfect for a fun day of exploring the area. I would 100% like to do it again if we get the chance.

The boat was everything I needed! Jacques was super helpful in not only meeting me at the dock but giving me a small tour of the boat and harbor etiquette. He also was great to chat with as he has been in the region and sailing for a long time. I would definitely come back and rent it from him again!

Really lovely day. Jacques was so nice, funny and accommodating. The boat was amazing, as was the views and Jacques recommendations for food and wine.

We had a wonderful time sailing with Jacques. He is a very calm and generous skipper, with amazing local knowledge. He suggested a change to our timing so we could take advantage of the better March weather. We had two lovely half days cruising along the coast in front of Nice and round to Villefranche. A real highlight of our trip to the Côte d’Azur. Would definitely go sailing with Jacques again!

Very welcoming very helpful, the perfect host and a lovely days sailing

Had a great day sailing with this bright little boat. Nice and easy to sail. Jacques was an excellent host, lovely and welcoming.

Jacque was lovely! He showed us Nice from the sea! He sailed us to the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer to snorkel. He took us to port and guided us to lunch and wonderful gelato! He was kind and easy to be with! We loved our day!

Omg!! It was the best day we had. Jacques was such a great, amazing and fun captain. He had all the swimming gear for us and even helped us with swimming. He took us to villefranche sur mer from nice and we had swimming break in between. It was beautiful blue water of the Mediterranean Sea. We walked for some time in villefranche sur mer for some time. Then He took us to beach and We were amazed that he had towels, Beach umbrella and everything we needed. Then we headed back in the evening. It was literally the best day we all had in French rivera vacation trip. In hindi : बहुत मजा आया एंड यह दिन काफी अच्छा थ। एक दम मज़ेदार बोट ट्रिप

Amazing day on the water. So worth it. Highly recommend.

Jacques is an adorable host and we had the most beautiful day on the water. His English is excellent and he knows all the best spots and stories. Merci beaucoup Jacques et à très bientôt !

Jacques was such an amazing guide along the French Riviera. He told us about so much history, popular sites, and even let us steer the boat as we sailed! He took us to a beautiful snorkeling spot and brought strawberries to have between swims. We loved his hospitality and made our trip to the coast so memorable. Highly recommend booking a day with him!

Super fun and nice experience! The captain was super awesome and knowledgeable, show us around the area. Highly recommended and will definitely book it again!

Wonderful time on the water! Beautiful boat. She’s a charm! Jaques was fantastic and willing to accommodate us in any way possible. Would recommend!!

Jacques (or Captain Jack) was great! He took us to a smaller less populated beach and let us pace our activities. We stayed there, ate, drank and tanned for a couple hours, then he gave us a tour of the local town Villefranche-Sur-Mer where we got ice cream. He let us take turns steering the boat on the way out and back. It was an intimate setting for 4 people, and we listened to some great music coming back that just fit with the view. Great time!

We had a wonderful time on the boat with Jacques. He was very flexible with us. It was nice to have a relaxing tour on the water. Great value for the price!

Jacques was wonderful. He met me at the boat and gave me a full orientation. I enjoyed it very much.

Amazing experience, fantastic boat, location and owner.

It was amazing experience, Jack is nice and helpful thank you Dear Jack we will back soon 😊 😘

Very approachable and responsive host! Jacques is very knowledgeable and a great companion!

We have had a super enjoyable weekend around Cannes and Nice. The boat is sturdy enough to cope with well-formed waves, and the engine is reliable. The owner is always available and quickly responsive. Hoping to come back on the boat soon, Ciao

Boat was very nice and everything went smoothly.

Jack was a good tour guide and teacher highlighting the beautiful scenery and sharing interesting history while teaching us first timers the basics of sailing. Highly recommend. Jack was fluent in English which was a huge bonus.

I had a great time out on Jacques-Louis's boat. He was super-responsive, and even adapted to out last-minute schedule changes with no problem! Customer service: A+, top marks. Thanks for everything, Jacques Louis!

My girlfriend and I rented this boat and took it out on our own. This was a great Adventure! Jacques was on time and explained everything we needed to know about the boat and the area before we left. I would defiantly rent the boat again in the future.

Absolutely amazing day thanks to Jacques perfect from start to finish couldn't reccomend this trip enough

Jacques, thank you for this aaamazing sea experience during all day! Thank you for your high level of hospitality and really interesting conversations during our adventure! I recommend to all of you to pass the night in the boat: in this case you will discover completely new sensations:) Hope to see you again, Jacques, as soon as possible! ;) Best wishes

Jacques is very easy going, open and safe skipper, we had a nice and relaxing day on his boat.

I enjoyed this trip very much, Jacques is so nice and sweet. We got the warm welcome and great experiences :)

We had such a wonderful afternoon with Jacques! He was waiting for us when we arrived, treated us to delicious local food and wine on the boat, took us to a nice swimming spot, showed us around Villefranche, and even played some nice music for us as we sat comfortably on the front of the boat. What a great guide! Thank you so much, Jacques!!

Couldn’t have had a better time if we tried! I highly recommend this boat.
