Sail Marseille’s Calanques National Park on a wooden schooner with snorkeling stops, vegetarian lunch, and rosé, plus classic sea views.

“This was my favourite day of my trip to the South of France. The boat was beautiful and spacious, the lounge and seating areas on board were very comfortable. I was so glad I booked with this boat over the others I’d been considering for similar trips. We don’t get to sail because it wasn’t windy enough, but I would still choose this sailboat again for how beautiful and comfortable it was. There was plenty of food and rosé to go around at lunch. The crew was lovely and there was equal attention for the French speaking guests and the English speaking. I thought about doing this exact same tour…”
