The sunset show: 2 hours at sea for an enchanted tour

We're Yannick, Philippe and Nicolas. Three Marseillais ... with an accent that wouldn't betray them. Three sailors in love with their harbor and their city.

We specialize in maritime excursions to discover Marseille by sea.

As you may have guessed, we're the captains.

What we love is to take you on a voyage of discovery, summer or winter, to our part of the world in Marseille, aboard our comfortable boats. And what we love is taking the time...

Time to share our favorite places with you, time to tell you the historical stories and legends that have shaped Marseille, time to make you dream and, if you feel like it, time to let you dive into the turquoise waters of our unspoilt coves.

Of course we want to tell you that the most beautiful sunsets are in Marseille... What's certain is that enjoying this moment aboard a boat is a magical spectacle that we take you to experience.

Departing from the Vieux-Port, aboard one of our boats that can accommodate up to 10 passengers, we set sail for the Frioul Archipelago at the end of the day. The navigation will be gentle and slow, respecting our protected environment. We're in the Parc National des Calanques.

We're heading for one of these magnificent coves with its transparent waters. It'll be hard to resist a swim in this peaceful early evening setting. So don't forget your swimsuits.

Then, comfortably seated in the boat, with a glass of rosé or other beverage in hand, all you have to do is savor the light show and this perfect moment of relaxation. In all likelihood, we'll take advantage of this break to tell you one of our favorite stories.

Before night falls, we'll be on our way back to take in the grandiose view of the Château d'If and the Marseilles harbor, which will have been decked out in a thousand gleams. Just before returning to port, we'll show you the Vallon des Auffes, Marseille's traditional little port.

Then it's time to head home.

And if you're a Marseillais, you'll find it hard to forget the sight of the entrance to the Vieux-Port at dusk, framed by monuments rich in history.

You can also choose to share a boat... a great way to meet new people. Departures start at 4 people. And you can decide to take the boat private and come with your family, friends or colleagues.

Either way, let the magic of the show take over.
