Upon arrival, fresh fruit juice and coffee will be offered by the crew to get the day off to a good start, as we set sail across the harbor towards Marseille's magnificent Calanques.
Depending on weather conditions, we'll drop anchor in a sheltered cove for a swim. Masks and snorkels are at your disposal to explore the seabed.
On board, a convivial aperitif awaits you, accompanied by a glass of chilled rosé to savor the moment to the full, before moving on to lunch. This vegetarian meal, prepared with fresh seasonal produce, reflects our commitment to nature, while offering a delicious gourmet experience.
After lunch, we'll continue sailing, as the wind takes us, through the Riou archipelago and other coves of the Calanques. A second stop for a swim is planned, conditions permitting, to prolong these unique moments in the heart of nature.
