Description
On Thursday evening, we forget everything. We're setting sail for the Sunset Guinguette, your new weekly summer event!
Departing from the Old Port of Marseille, climb aboard our Samba maxi catamaran for an original, convivial and festive evening at sea… that you won't soon forget.
As you leave the harbor, you'll set course for the Frioul Archipelago, a group of rugged, unspoiled islands located at the entrance to Marseille's harbor. The sail takes you past the legendary Château d'If, the iconic fortress made famous by The Count of Monte-Cristo, before reaching the anchorage opposite the islands.
The catamaran anchors in the heart of this spectacular setting. You can fully enjoy the sunset: stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling, or relaxing on board, whatever you prefer. Aperitifs are served: beer, rosé, Planter's Punch, soft drinks, and snacks (pizza, pissaladière, or quiche). As the sun sets over the Mediterranean, the lights of the open-air cafés come on. We chat, we laugh, we dance on deck in a festive, summery atmosphere.
The cruise then continues in the Rade de Marseille, offering a final view of the illuminated city before returning to the Vieux Port.
A Thursday evening unlike any other. To experience and relive… all summer long.
Everything is included: sailing, crew, anchorage, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkeling, soft drinks, aperitifs (beer, rosé, punch) and snacks. Nothing to add on board: just enjoy the moment.
