Aboard an exceptional sailing boat, admire the sunset at sea! Stunning landscapes, snorkeling and a Mediterranean dinner will be on the programme for this evening, perfect for disconnecting after a day of work, sightseeing in Marseille...
We welcome you at Marseille's Vieux Port for a sailing trip in the bay of Marseille towards the Frioul Archipelago islands, with breathtaking views of the city of Marseille and Notre-Dame de la Garde, accompanied by cultural and historical anecdotes from our crew.
After sailing along the famous Château d'If, we will stop in a calanque for a swim, with snorkeling equipment available for you to explore the rich biodiversity of the local seabed. The 3 indoor cabins will allow you to change, while the freshwater shower on deck will allow you to rinse off. After this refreshing break, your crew will serve dinner in the form of a cold buffet accompanied by Provence rosé or other soft drinks, prepared by a Marseille caterer: La Casa Consolat. In the various comfortable areas on board, you can relax and enjoy the sea air to the sound of seagulls, the kings of this protected area, and a gentle musical atmosphere.
On the way back, you can let yourself be gently carried along one last time by the peaceful sailing aboard our schooner, under the lights of the city of Marseille.Highlights
