I’ll take you to the most breathtaking spots, guided by the rhythm of the sea and the wind. Set sail on a sea adventure aboard a fully equipped Dufour 28 sailboat and explore the stunning calanques of Marseille. With an experienced skipper at the helm, you'll cruise between Frioul, Côte Bleue, and the hidden gems of the bay, stopping for unforgettable swims in crystal-clear waters. The boat comes with everything you need for comfort and fun: a kitchenette, refrigerator, deck shower, marine toilet, paddleboard, masks and fins for snorkeling, and even a guitar for musical moments at sea.

Depending on the wind, we’ll anchor near Frioul or along the Côte Bleue for a refreshing swim and coastal exploration. Want to extend the magic? You can spend the night anchored in a peaceful cove and wake up to the sunrise on the water before continuing your journey the next morning.
