Private Whale & Dolphin Watching Experience

French Riviera | Pelagos Sanctuary

For guests who want the Riviera experienced in a more rare and meaningful way, the Whale & Dolphin Watching experience offers a beautiful departure from the usual coastal charter. Rather than centering the day around beach clubs or shoreline cruising, this experience ventures offshore into the open Mediterranean in search of some of its most remarkable marine life—delivering a sea adventure that feels immersive, elegant, and genuinely memorable.

Aboard a 12.50-meter / 41-foot vessel, guests set out with an experienced crew to explore the waters of the Pelagos Sanctuary and National Park, one of the Mediterranean’s most important protected marine areas. Depending on the selected format, the journey extends between 5 and 40 miles off the coast, where the rhythm of the day becomes quieter, more observant, and far more connected to the natural character of the sea.

This experience is designed for up to 10 guests, making it ideal for private groups, families, and travelers who want something more distinctive than a typical yacht outing. Along the way, guests may encounter dolphins, whales, sperm whales, turtles, rays, and schools of tuna, while learning how to read the water and identify signs of marine life at the surface. It is not only scenic, but deeply atmospheric—a more authentic encounter with the Mediterranean, guided by expertise and local knowledge.

The vessel itself offers a comfortable and intimate platform for the journey, with 1 double cabin and 1 twin cabin adding a welcome layer of practicality and ease throughout the day. Powered by 2 x 370 HP engines and cruising at approximately 20 knots, it is well suited to offshore navigation while maintaining a calm and composed onboard feel.
