The details of your upcoming experience

A word from your guide

We are Yannick, Philippe, Raphaël, and Antoine. Four guys from Marseille… with an accent we’d never give up. Four sailors who love their harbor and their city.

We specialize in boat tours that let you discover Marseille from the water.

As you’ve probably figured out, the four of us are the captains.

What we love is taking you on board—summer and winter alike—to discover our little corner of the world in Marseille aboard our comfortable boats. And what we love is taking the time…

Time to share our favorite spots with you, time to tell you the historical stories and legends that shaped Marseille, time to inspire you to dream, and if the mood strikes you, time to let you dive into the turquoise waters of our unspoiled coves.

Description of your future experience

Did you know that Marseille's first calanques are just across from the Vieux Port, less than half an hour away by boat?

Come aboard with us all year round on our comfortable 10-passenger boats.

Head for these islands, part of the Parc National des Calanques, classified as sustainable islands, with their magnificent coves and turquoise waters. When the weather's nice, don't forget your swimming kit, as you'll find it hard to resist a dip. We'll be stopping off at Port Frioul, Marseille's island district.

During our gentle, respectful navigation, we'll get close to the Château d'If and the story of its famous Count of Monte Cristo. On the way back, we'll make a detour to the Vallon des Auffes, an unusual little port.

We're real chatterboxes, always ready to tell you the stories of Marseille.

Will they all be true? Remember, you're in Marseille...

You can choose to embark by sharing a boat... it'll be a great opportunity 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, we're off to the end of the world!

A wonderful afternoon tour for a group of 10 people. The skipper, Philippe, is top-notch—relaxed, friendly, approachable, and professional. He provided insightful historical commentary on Notre Dame de la Garde, the Palais du Pharo, the Château d’If, Frioul Island, and the surroundings of one of France’s largest cities! We’ll cherish the memories of the coastlines and coves we explored. I highly recommend it.

A wonderful tour to discover the treasures of Frioul and Marseille by sea! He tailored the tour to what we wanted to see and to our pace, and we learned so much. He’s a warm and attentive guide. There were only two of us who had booked, but the tour went ahead anyway—we have such fond memories of it! He even recommended a great pizzeria that we definitely checked out! Thank you!

A very enjoyable experience, off the beaten path. The guide is passionate about his city and its history. We discovered a small harbor in the city that must not be well-known, since we didn’t see a single boat come in while we were having lunch. Highly recommended.
