What to Expect

Step aboard our traditional boats for a magical evening at sea. As the sun gently dips over Marseille, you will experience a tranquil ride accompanied by a homemade, non-alcoholic, vegetarian Mediterranean aperitif. Leaving the bustling streets behind, you will discover a side of Marseille you have never seen before: calm, serene, and at the gentle pace of an electric motor.

The boats themselves are pieces of living heritage. COCO, at 8 metres, is known for its robust and generous lines, perfect for large groups or lively aperitifs. MARIUS, at 9 metres, offers an elegant and fluid navigation, ideal for those who appreciate old boat stories and well-crafted details. Both boats have been lovingly restored locally by passionate carpenters and dedicated volunteers, making them more than just vessels, but a part of Marseille's rich maritime history.

As you glide along the coast, you will be treated to stunning views of the sunset on the Frioul island, a sight that is both breathtaking and serene. This unique vantage point from the water offers a perspective of Marseille that few get to experience, highlighting the city's beautiful architecture and natural landscapes. Enjoy the golden hour with your feet in the water, creating an unforgettable evening on the sea.
