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.

An absolutely unforgettable day! We were fortunate enough to charter the yacht ZOE, a magnificent 70-foot vessel, from Serge in Marseille. From the moment we arrived, Serge and his team welcomed us with exemplary kindness and professionalism. Everything was absolutely perfect: the comfort of the boat, the relaxed and refined atmosphere on board, a delicious BBQ, and an attentive, competent, and caring crew. The captain navigated with masterful skill and showed us the most beautiful spots along the coast. This day will remain etched in our memories. Thank you to Serge and his entire team for this exceptional experience – a moment of pure bliss at sea!

From start to finish we were very pleased with Cirina and her husband (captain). Coming from the United States we really did not know what to expect and what they offered us was better than expected. We had an awesome day with beautiful scenery and snorkeling.

We had an unforgettable afternoon on Eric’s boat! He speaks great English, made everything super easy, and was incredibly kind and accommodating from start to finish. The boat is beautiful and comfortable, and the views around Marseille were absolutely stunning. Eric tailored the experience to what we wanted, gave great local insights, and even had drinks and snorkeling gear ready for us. If you are thinking about booking—just do it. Could not recommend him more. Thanks Eric! 我们在 Eric 的船上度过了一个非常难忘的下午!他英文很好,沟通非常顺畅,也超级贴心、好相处。从上船到结束都安排得非常周到。 船本身很干净又舒适。Eric 还会根据我们的喜好调整行程,准备了饮料、浮潜装备什么的,体验感满分。 如果你在马赛想找个靠谱又轻松的包船体验,强烈推荐 Eric!真的不会后悔~

A great time! Brian was accommodating, available, and friendly. His boat is in good overall condition, and the Bay of Marseille is a beautiful place: the Frioul islands, the Côte Bleue, the Calanques... There were 10 of us, including family. The boat was perfect for our itinerary. We'd do it again!

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.
