Water sports in Marseille

Paddle boarding in Marseille

For a few years now, paddling has been one of the must-do sports of the summer! In Marseille, it is a sport that is more and more practiced, and the city is full of spots to enjoy it fully!

Much calmer than surfing or windsurfing, paddling is a relaxing activity that you should try at all costs, and if you don’t have boards, you can rent them in Marseille!

Paddle boarding can be done alone, but it is also possible to go for group rides. In the morning for a 100% relaxing moment or in the evening facing the sunset, paddling is the ideal sport for young and old!

From the calanques to the beaches of the Catalans, Borély or the Prophète in Marseille, via the urban coastline such as the Anse de Maldormé or the Fausse Monnaie, the Phocaean City is ideal for enjoying a unique moment on a paddle.

Kayak trips in Marseille

Completely different from paddling, kayaking is a perfect activity to discover the Marseille coastline. For beginners or experienced paddlers, rent a kayak to discover the Marseille seaside or its Calanques.

For half a day or a full day, enjoy a kayak trip in Marseille and go at your own pace! An outing that offers you a total change of scenery to discover the Marseille coastline.

A good way to explore the nooks and crannies of the Marseille seaside or the Calanques, with family or friends!
