Blue Drop
Kayak and paddleboard trips from Port Gallice along the Cap
A kayak and stand-up paddle base at Port Gallice, at the start of the Cap, offering rentals and guided outings along the coast, sunset trips included.
Why VERA picked it
The Cap is best seen from the water, and a kayak or paddleboard is the quietest way to do it. Blue Drop starts right at Port Gallice, where the Cap begins.
Where the Cap begins
Port Gallice sits at the very beginning of the Cap, between Juan-les-Pins and the first rocky coves of the peninsula. Blue Drop works from the port, sending kayaks and stand-up paddleboards out along a stretch of coastline that most visitors only ever see from the road.
What they offer
The centre offers two ways to go out: hire a board or kayak and explore at your own pace, or join a guided outing with someone who knows the coast. The team presents itself as long experienced in paddle sports, and the port describes exploratory and cultural outings as well as more sporting excursions, with safety taken seriously.
- Kayak and stand-up paddle hire
- Guided outings along the Cap
- Late-afternoon trips timed for the sunset
- Birthdays, stag and hen parties, team building and children's camps

| When to go | The port suggests the late afternoon, when the light softens and you can watch the sun go down over the Estérel from the water. Mornings are usually calmer for beginners. |
