Marseille at sea: a 2-hour adventure to discover the calanques of the Frioul Archipelago

Yannick

The details of your upcoming experience

A word from your guide

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.

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!

The app I've been waiting for for years.

"I'm speechless. This is the app I've always dreamed of having! A way to meet people and have unique experiences. I've already done 2 experiences: a bivouac at 2000m altitude + a tasting in Burgundy. It was incredible."

“Finally, an app for travelers who hate being tourists! Meet People is like having a local friend in every city. Thanks to the app, I met passionate local guides who showed me hidden gems, secret restaurants, and shared stories no guidebook ever would. The experience is seamless, and the 'matches' are thoughtfully designed. It's an intelligent blend of technology and genuine human connection, perfect for those who want to travel differently.”
