Details
Visit the calanques of Marseille on board our vintage sailing boat. Beautiful scenery, snorkeling and a delicious meal will make this day unforgettable.
Our boat leaves from the Vieux Port of Marseille and we will offer you juice and coffee as we set sail. We begin in the bay, with a breathtaking view of the city and the basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde, accompanied by cultural and historical comments from our team, before heading for the calanques.
Sormiou, Morgiou, Sugiton... All these names are the promise of sumptuous landscapes between limestone cliffs, small typical fishing ports, and deep blue waters. We will first anchor in one of the creeks for about 1 hour to swim. You can even use our snorkeling equipment if you wish to explore the sea bed and discover the rich biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea.
Then it will be time for lunch on board, consisting of a cold buffet with rosé wine, which you can enjoy in the middle of a heavenly setting. Afterwards, we will continue our journey to the Riou archipelago which is located at the entrance of the Calanques National Park and offers an exceptional panorama of this famous coastline. We will take a second break to swim in one of the creeks of the main island for about 1 hour. Finally, it will be time to head back to Marseille, enjoying one last time the relaxing navigation on our schooner.
