With summer coming up, water sports are an integral part of the French Riviera's way of life. Are you looking to rent a seaside villa? To enhance your stay, near your holiday rental, discover the new water sports activities that promise you relaxation and thrills this summer.
Fly out of the water with a flyboard
During your stay near Villefranche-sur-Mer or Nice, treat yourself to a pure moment of adrenaline with the Flyboard. This nautical jetpack, connected to a jet ski by a hose, allows you to fly several metres above the water. With its feet attached to the platform, the machine is propelled by the water pressure produced by the jet ski up to 15 metres high. An impressive water sport for thrill seekers!
A sea trip on board an electric trimaran
Your rented villa offers you an amazing view of the Lerins Islands in Cannes and you dream of discovering them up close? It is an exclusivity on the French Riviera; the first electric trimaran Orphie 29 cruises the bay of Cannes for a unique experience of sailing in silence. From the old port, board this elegant boat and discover the turquoise waters of the Sainte-Marguerite island. On board, you can snorkel and dive to discover the Cannes underwater eco-museum and its monumental sculptures by Jason de Caires Taylor.
The electric foil for gliding on the water
Another innovation in water sports enriches the experience of a stay on the French Riviera: the electric foil. This surfboard equipped with a fin and an electric motor revolutionises sea navigation and allows you to fly over the water at almost 50 km/hour. In the bay of Cannes, against a backdrop of magnificent landscapes cradled by the Estérel hills, you can experience the piloting of this spectacular machine. A surprising and exclusive gliding sensation for an unforgettable stay!
