What you can expect

Embark from the Mucem, at the entrance to the Old Port of Marseille, for a 3.5-hour excursion aboard a semi-rigid boat, limited to 10 participants.

Head for the Côte Bleue, a natural coastline north of Marseille known for its fishing harbours, limestone cliffs, wild coves, and turquoise waters.

As you sail, admire the landscapes of La Madrague, Les Eaux Salées, Méjean, and L'Érevine. Depending on the sea conditions, your skipper may also take you to explore some sea caves that are accessible only by boat.

Your skipper will share with you the history of the villages, the fishermen, and the landscapes you pass through. A short stop at La Redonne may be offered depending on the schedule and sailing conditions.

A swimming stop is planned in a secluded cove. Masks and snorkels are available for you to observe the seabed. The exact location is chosen by the skipper according to the weather to ensure the best conditions for comfort and safety.

After this relaxing break, continue sailing towards Marseille and enjoy a final panoramic view of the city from the sea.

The route may be adapted according to wind, sea conditions, and how busy the various sites are.
