1.Marseille: Sunset Sailing Cruise with Dinner and Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 453 reviews · 1 day · from $64Top of the fleet

Join Goélette Alliance at Marseille’s Old Port for an evening sail aboard the wooden schooner Alliance. You’ll cruise toward the Frioul archipelago, swim in a sheltered cove, eat a fresh vegetarian buffet, sip Provençal rosé, and watch the sun set. The multilingual crew speaks English, French, and Italian, and guide Fabio has earned praise for his friendly explanations.

“The schooner was beautiful and I appreciated that the sailors raised the sails on the way out. It was fun to hear the beautiful live music while eating our tasty dinner. Overall a great evening!”

Marseille: Frioul Calanques Sailing Trip

2.Marseille: Frioul Calanques Sailing Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 433 reviews · from $113

Join a skipper-led sailing trip from Marseille’s MUCEM dock to a Frioul calanque. You can learn to steer, raise sails, swim and snorkel for about an hour, or simply enjoy the coast. Groups are limited to eight, with English and French instruction. The scheduled departure is 14:15, and the boat leaves on time.

“Had an amazing afternoon out sailing as part of this tour. Leo the captain was great and included everyone in taking part from driving the boat to putting up the sails, no matter what their level of sailing experience was. Our group included both people with no sailing experience and people with lots of experience. We also stopped in a cove and spent time snorkelling before heading back to Marseille. The whole experience was very relaxed and I would definitely recommend doing this tour.”

Marseille: Calanques Sailing Day Trip with Lunch and Wine

3.Marseille: Calanques Sailing Day Trip with Lunch and Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 411 reviews · 7 hours · from $159

Join the historic sailing yacht Le Don du Vent at Marseille’s pier 2 for a seven-hour coastal outing. You’ll receive coffee and navettes, swim and snorkel in a Calanque or along La Côte Bleue, and eat a generous vegetarian buffet with organic wine. The route depends on wind and sea conditions, and the crew speaks French and English.

“The trip itself is unforgettable. We had really 7 hours on the fascinating Mediterranean. The crew are polite and passionate. We were also surprised by the high-quality foods they offered. The only pity is that it was really windy and wavy, so the second half turned out a bit struggling :( With a better weather condition, I bet it would be more stunning.”
