Description
Depart from Marseille’s Old Port on the maxi-catamaran Samba for a full-day sailing tour through the Calanques National Park. The journey begins near Fort Saint-Jean and Fort Saint-Nicolas, heading along the coast towards Cap Croisette and Île Maïre.
A morning stop at a sheltered cove offers crystal-clear waters and towering cliffs. Enjoy relaxing on deck, snorkeling, or paddleboarding, followed by an aperitif and a buffet brunch or lunch served on board while taking in the surroundings.
In the afternoon, cruise peacefully among calanques and reach the Riou Archipelago nature reserve, a sanctuary for marine life and birds accessible only by boat. A second anchorage allows more time for paddleboarding, swimming, or simply enjoying the environment.
The return trip reveals an unspoiled coastline as you unwind on board. This tour includes sailing, crew, anchorages, paddleboards, snorkeling gear, buffet meals, wines, soft drinks, and an aperitif (punch planteur). The route and anchorages may vary with weather. Respect for wildlife and park regulations is maintained throughout.
