Catamaran sail ride in Calanques National Park

MuCEM, Marseille
A 7-hour sailing trip in Calanques National Parc departing from Mucem. Glide across the water in silence in small group, on a light and comfortable catamaran. The idea is to create and share a moment between friends : everyone brings a little food…
Key points :
  • Gliding on the water in silence, all sails out and engines off : the magic happens!
  • Light and comfortable catamaran, small capacity (11 people)
  • Experienced professional skipper

We will leave Mucem museum under engine at 09:00 to go to Cap Croisette (monkeys's bay). En route, sails will be hoisted and engines turned off to reach Riou island and set a first anchorage for swimming, then sail to Calanque de Sormiou or Morgiou for a second anchorage for lunch. We'll set off at 2 PM back to port. Captain will decide the exact route depending on the weather conditions of the day and crew.

Please note : This is not a "tick that postcard" tour with specific places visited but a sailing trip under sails where slow pace, contemplation and awareness are privileged. It's a "let's go sailing as friends in Marseille would" proposition.Your disposition to be aware of the environment in the shade of the sails, in silence and to meet people on board, will also make the difference. We like to meet foreigners, talk or stay alone but we all love Med blue waters, sun, nature and fine food. Come ! We'd rather be sailing !
