About this activity

Spend three days sailing a Mediterranean boat from Marseille through the dramatic Calanques—a UNESCO-protected coastline of limestone cliffs and hidden coves. Dive, snorkel, and kayak in turquoise waters with no itinerary except the one you create, sleeping aboard and waking to unspoiled sea landscapes.

Imagine yourself floating on the Mediterranean for 3 days and sailing in the wind... That is what we propose you do. 

You will leave from the centre of Marseille on board your sailboat to head for the Calanques. Les Goudes, Morgiou, En Vau, Port Pin... if these sweet names make you dream, take aboard sailors! 

3 days and two nights out of time when your only concerns will be where you want to stop to swim, snorkel or kayak, where you want to set your eyes on these incredible landscapes and where you want to put your foot back on the ground.

Insider tips

  • ★Pack reef-safe sunscreen and reapply frequently—sun reflects intensely off both water and white cliffs
  • ★Request specific Calanques on booking if you have preferences; crew adjusts route based on weather and your interests
  • ★Bring a waterproof camera or GoPro; the underwater and cliff views are exceptional but fleeting
  • ★Download offline maps of the Calanques before departure; signal can be patchy in some anchorages
