9 tours · €55–€400 per person · ★ 4.9
A Nice boat tour is mostly a small rib along the Cap de Nice, and the 9 here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €55 per person for a shared boat trip with a snorkelling stop in the bay of Villefranche to €400 for a private boat from Nice to Monaco, Cannes or Menton, priced per group. In between sit a half-day guided run to the Mala caves with a swim, a Nice sunset cruise that pours an aperitif of Niçois specialities on the water, a private day cruiser towards Monaco and a bike and boat combination.
A quick way to choose: check what the price leaves out, because the private cruiser adds a captain and fuel fee paid on board, and the shared boats carry no toilet, so a two hour trip means planning ahead. Snorkelling equipment and life jackets are in the price, towels and drinks are not, and the small boats turn away pregnant travellers and anyone with back problems.
