Enzo was a true host, making everybody comfortable and sharing his knowledge of Marseille and the coast. Even with higher winds than expected, he tailored the trip to suit. 100% recommended for a brilliant and enjoyable day out

We had an absolutely fantastic day at sea with Lukas. He is highly experienced, calm, and incredibly friendly, making us feel comfortable and welcome from the very beginning. His language skills were truly impressive, making communication effortless throughout the trip. Everything was thoughtfully arranged. We were provided with refreshments, fishing equipment and guidance, sailing instruction, opportunities to swim and snorkel, and plenty of enjoyable conversations along the way. The boat itself is wonderful—stable, exceptionally well maintained, and spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a memorable day on the water. Thank you, Lukas, for an unforgettable experience!

We rented Tony's boat for the day in July and we had a fantastic day going around the Frioul Islands. Communication with Tony was easy and the boat was perfect.

"We had a very nice day in the Calanques on Henri's boat. The welcome and the return with his partner were very nice, the boat worked very well. A positive point I would add: the engine consumes fuel moderately. We were able to go through all the Calanques up to En Vau, passing by Riou - and we consumed 25L, with some speed bursts in open sea. If I had something to complain about, it's that the boat was much older and more worn by the sea than the photos suggest; they must be a few years old. It's always a bit of a bitter surprise. A somewhat detailed map of the Calanques, including depths for anchoring, would have been useful - we had to resort to using Google Maps, without network, to help us identify the Calanques. Nevertheless, I would recommend without hesitation a boat tour with Henri. The view of the Calanques in summer is truly worth it."

Was very laid back, had a speaker which was great. Took us to some really nice spots that we wouldn’t have gone to otherwise. Overall really enjoyed our time. Bit unclear on pricing for fuel and skipper - was expecting €60 but paid €100.

The Bandol itinerary (calanque du sous marin), île des Embiez, Île verte, calanques de la Ciotat (be careful, the calanques national park is prohibited by boat) is great! Lots of snokerling spots

We left from L'Estaque to the cove of Sormiou via the Frioul Islands and the Bay of Monkeys. The landscapes are magnificent and you can also observe the monuments of Marseille from the sea. Just be careful: you cannot use a towed buoy in or near the coves.
Nous sommes partis de L'Estaque jusqu'à la calanque de Sormiou en passant par les îles du Frioul et la baie des singes. Les paysages sont magnifiques et on peut aussi observer les monuments de Marseille depuis la mer. Faîte juste attention: on ne peut pas faire de bouée tractée dans ou proche des calanques.
