1 Esp. J4, 13002 Marseille, France
Discover the natural treasures of Marseille on a hybrid-electric catamaran cruise through the Calanques National Park
Departing from the Old Port, you’ll set sail towards the Calanques. As we pass through Baie des Singes, you’ll enter a majestic landscape where nature takes center stage. We’ll make a swimming stop in a calanque that is only accessible by boat. Take a dip in the idyllic turquoise waters, explore the underwater world with a mask and snorkel, or simply relax on the fully cushioned deck, depending on your preference. Your captain will serve you a drink and a homemade biscuit to make this break even more enjoyable!
After a second swimming stop in another calanque, the experience will end with a gentle and quiet cruise back towards the Old Port, giving you time to take in the panoramic views over Marseille Bay.
