Should we go on a boat excursion off the coast of Nice?

My wife and I will be in Nice beginning next Tuesday. We thought it would nice to go on a boat excursion on the sea. I have been looking at the options with %26quot;Trans Cote Azur%26quot; at http://www.trans-cote-azur.com. Has anyone gone on a boat excursion with this company? Can you simply walk up to the port de Nice to get tickets? Do you recommend this company or any others? Do you recommend any specific boat excursions?



Thanks

These are the main boat excursion company in Nice - reliable and been around a long time. - they do a short daily coastal %26quot;cruise%26quot; for an hour around 3 oclock which is really just turn up and go.





They also do longer trips - Cannes, Monaco, San Remo and St Tropez. We took the St Tropez one - which is two and a half hours each way and pricey at 50 euro, but its limited to only a couple of daysa week.I thought it was great fun.





Also we took the Saturday San Remo run. The captain does a running commentary of all the famous peoples villas along the coast, including the one bought by the mafia, and a closer look at Bono%26#39;s at Eze bord der mer.





Good fun, I recommend it.

Just be careful about the weather now that the long summer seems to have broken. The Med is relatively shallow and a nasty short sea can get up quite quickly with a bit of wind, making it very bumpy.
