Overview
A private boat leaves Port Hercule and heads west along the French Riviera. The first swim stop is the small Mala cove at Cap d'Ail, the second off Èze-sur-Mer; the boat then rounds the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula and enters the bay of Villefranche. The return follows the same coast. Route, stop lengths and return time are agreed with the group.
