Full Day Private Catamaran Tour from Marseille
Navigate the Mediterranean, discover the Calanques, and sail the Blue Coast at your own pace with a private skipper.
This private catamaran tour in Marseille offers a full day at sea along one of the most scenic stretches of the French Mediterranean coast, from the historic L'Estaque neighborhood to the spectacular limestone inlets of the Calanques.
Guided by an experienced skipper, guests take an active role in handling and navigating the vessel, making this more than a passive boat trip. Whether you are new to sailing or simply looking for a hands-on experience on open water, the skipper provides all the instruction needed throughout the day.
The route traces the coastline from L'Estaque, a culturally rich quarter of Marseille once painted by Cezanne and Braque, outward along the Blue Coast toward some of the most secluded coves and crystal-clear anchorages the region has to offer.

Itinerary
The day begins at the port of L'Estaque on the northern edge of Marseille. Your skipper will welcome you aboard, carry out safety briefings, and introduce you to the catamaran before setting off.
Once underway on the open sea, guests have the opportunity to take the helm and learn the basics of catamaran handling. The skipper provides hands-on guidance throughout this section of the journey.
The catamaran follows the coastline southward along the Blue Coast, passing scenic headlands, coastal villages, and the gradual transition from urban Marseille to wild natural landscape.
The highlight of the route is reaching the Calanques, a series of narrow fjord-like inlets carved from white limestone cliffs. The skipper selects the finest anchorage spots depending on conditions and season.
With the boat anchored in a secluded cove, guests enjoy free time to swim in clear turquoise water and take in the surrounding scenery before the return journey.
The catamaran sails back toward L'Estaque as the afternoon winds down, completing a full day circuit along one of the most celebrated coastlines in the western Mediterranean.
