What you can expect

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, an enthusiast and expert on the coastline, will guide you through the most beautiful panoramas of the city seen from the sea.

Sail alongside the Cathédrale de la Major and the Mucem before discovering Vallon des Auffes, a traditional fishing harbor nestled between the rocks, renowned for its “pointu” boats and the famous restaurant “Chez Fonfon”.

Get close to the famous fortress-prison that inspired Alexandre Dumas for The Count of Monte Cristo. Your skipper will tell you the fascinating history of this place, somewhere between literary legend and historical reality.

Sail between the islands of Pomègues and Ratonneau. Admire the wild coves, the translucent waters, and the organic aquaculture 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 surroundings of the Hôpital Caroline, a historic monument facing the open sea.

You will also enjoy a 20-minute stop at the Port du Frioul to stroll along the seawall, have an ice cream, or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the archipelago.
On sunny days, a swimming stop is possible for those that wish to take a dip. Masks and snorkeling gear are available on board.
