Must do in Nice, France: How about renting a motorboat and discovering the Mediterranean from a whole new angle? Anja & Aila tried it out for the first time, and they’re convinced anyone can steer the boat—no license required! They suggest grabbing lunch at the local Yacht Club before your trip and capping off the day with an aperitif at one of Nice’s coolest beach bars just around the corner.

I never miss your adventures and this has been probably the best one. Thank you for sharing I will definitely do the same. All the Best Marcos
Just fantastic.. magical scenery….. great boating skills 👍
Great great channel ….we love you guys
A great way to swim without walking on the rocks on the beach.
Thank you loves for another fantastic video ❤
Thank you loves for another fantastic video ❤
Loved this, so much fun!! Thank you lovely ladies ❤
I was in the Nice week ago just for three days and I would never go there in July. It was so hot. Literally, you can’t be outside more than an hour. Plus, it was so overcrowded I will go back, but never in the summertime. I absolutely love swimming in the sea for sure. Boat ride would be excellent.
20 yeatrs on the Riviera. WoW. As far as swimming goes, we will be in Nice on 15/8 and are wondering about jellyfish – I see you swimming without a rashguard or wetsuit, are our fears of jellyfish stings silly?
Heyyyyyyy 🥳🚤🌞 This was so cool ! Hahah,awesome. I did several boat trips around Nice,Cannes and the area,but never by myself. Wow,I think this is a must to do! You ve done all perfectly,pretty girls. Well done 👍🏻 F⭐️A⭐️N⭐️T⭐️A⭐️S⭐️T⭐️I⭐️C

Interesting tatoo on the left hand 😳😊. Ahhhh,where is the epic ending 😎? This was a great episode and idea! Very different. I bet many people didn't know about it. Including myself. 🤍
Thanks

This looks amazing! We are here in Nice now and all your videos have been super helpful. We will try this out too. Thanks!! 🎉
Love your videos. Merci! (& Danke). Travelling to Nice for 3 weeks at the end of the month. Was very curious about boat rentals and this video was very helpful.
One question if I may, where do you find good chocolate in Nice and surrounding areas. I always like to bring back chocolate from France.
What a great idea! I've been watching your videos a lot lately in preparation for a Côte d'Azur trip in late September/early October (staying in Villefranche-sur-Mer). Thanks so much for sharing your experiences, they're all great! I was thinking of doing a guided boat tour out of Nice, but this looks even better. I'm curious, given we'd be there after the tourist season, would you wait until closer to the travel dates to book the boat ride, just to ensure the weather is going to be good? Being from Southern California, I know there can be cloudy days around that time, but having never been to 'Le Sud de la France' , I'm not sure if the weather truly is the same. I'm torn between booking now so I don't miss out on the opportunity, or waiting to pick the ideal day. It seems you were able to get something even in the height of tourist season, so maybe waiting is OK. What do you think? Thanks again for all your great videos!
Hello ! When we rent the boat, can we swim in the water ? Amazing video !
I always wondered how easy or difficult this would be….but you’ve made it clear that I can do it! I’ll be back in nice this autumn again so will have to give it a try!, thanks for leading the way!
Waw. Self boat trip. Oooh its sound scary at first. Never heard nor did in past. Never drive boat in my life. Seriously, Can I still do !!
