Description
From the Mucem, board a comfortable semi-rigid boat (maximum 10 passengers) for a two-hour cruise tour to discover the harbor of Marseille and the Frioul Archipelago, during which your skipper, a passionate expert on the coastline, will guide you through the most beautiful panoramas of the city seen from the sea.
Pass by the Cathédrale de la Major and the Mucem before discovering Vallon des Auffes, a traditional fishing harbor nestled between the rocks, famous for its 'pointu' boats and the renowned restaurant 'Chez Fonfon.'
Approach the famous fortress-prison that inspired Alexandre Dumas's The Count of Monte Cristo. Your skipper will tell you the fascinating history of this place, somewhere between literary legend and historical reality.
Cruise between the islands of Pomègues and Ratonneau. Marvel at the wild coves, the translucent waters and the organic fish farm nestled between the islands. Your skipper will take you as close as possible to coves that are inaccessible from land, such as the Calanque des Cambrettes, a true natural swimming pool, or the area around the Hôpital Caroline, a historic monument facing the open sea.
You will also enjoy a 20-minute stop at the Port of Frioul to stroll along the breakwater, have an ice cream or simply soak up the peaceful atmosphere of the archipelago.
On sunny days, a swimming stop is possible for those who wish to take one. Masks and snorkeling gear are available on board.
