About the Activity

What to Expect

Hop on for a full-day catamaran trip to the Massif des Calanques including lunch, swimming stops, stand-up paddle as well as an apéritif. Our journey begins at the iconic Marseille's Vieux Port, where our friendly crew will introduce you to the spacious catamaran, capable of hosting 80 people and fully equipped for your comfort. As we depart under the watchful gaze of Fort Saint-Jean and Fort Saint-Nicolas, you will be treated to a breathtaking view of the azure sea as we head towards the stunning Cap Croisette and Île Maïre.

Our first stop is the mesmerizing Calanque de Sormiou, a true natural gem within the Calanques National Park. Here, you can relax on the deck, take in the striking scenery, or explore the bay using the stand-up paddleboards provided. Enjoy a delightful apéritif on board followed by a buffet lunch. Setting course for the captivating Morgiou and Sugiton, you will discover the allure of a hidden port and breathtaking underwater grotto at Morgiou, and marvel at the dramatic cliffs surrounding Sugiton’s secret coves.

Next, we head to the serene Riou Archipelago, a protected nature reserve teeming with diverse marine and bird species. Our second anchorage at Calanque de Monastério offers a moment of pure relaxation amidst pristine wilderness.
