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."

The entire transaction was seamless. From the initial communication, to answering all our questions, to logistics on the day. The boat was exactly as presented. It was clean and everything was easy. The skipper was fantastic. It was a brilliant day out. Thank you!

Super clean and beautifully maintained boat with a lovely captain. Has multiple fridges and a well-stocked kitchen. Bathroom is super clean. We loved our day on the Mediterranean so much that our guests wanted to cancel all plans and do the same thing the next day.

We had a great experience chartering this boat for the day, and our captain Bruno, who Marie's team coordinated, was great. The boat was in great shape and we had a wonderful, memorable day. I did have to ask a lot of questions ahead of time, so in the future it would be helpful to better explain the exact address to be dropped off at, the exact time for us to arrive and return, options to stop for lunch, what we can/can't bring on the boat, and maybe even options for where to go for the day. The security deposit requirement was quite high, so there was a lot of back and forth on purchasing insurance to reduce it. However, day of logistics were super smooth and we were very happy with our day on the water.

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.
