Sailing trip - My daughter, wife and I had a wonderful day on the water. With little wind on our trip which made our sailing efforts challenging, we learned a lot about sailing (and could focus maybe a bit more on snorkeling). Our skipper made sure that we had a good time and we felt very safe due to his professional attitude, skilled hands and witty comments. We enjoyed a lot that our skipper provided a lot of sailing details, took the time to answer our questions about islands/buildings we passed on our trip, showed our daughter how to tie a few ship´s knots and even allowed me (and other fellow travelers) some time on the rudder. We can strongly recommend this tour!

A Memorable Sailing Adventure in the Calanques of Frioul - Our group, consisting of a 45-year-old couple and two 18-year-old girls, had an unforgettable half-day excursion in the Calanques of Frioul. This was not just a sailboat tour; we actually learned how to sail, which added an exciting and educational element to the experience.
The wonderful Solene made this trip truly special. It was her second solo journey, and she absolutely nailed it. Her expertise and friendly demeanor ensured that we all felt comfortable and engaged throughout the journey. The beautiful water and stunning views of the Calanques were breathtaking, making it a visual feast for the eyes.
This was a wonderful experience that combined adventure, learning, and natural beauty. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the Calanques in a unique and memorable way!

More involved and more fun than I expected - I had a great time sailing with Jimmy who gave good instructions in English and was very kind and patient with a first time sailor like me. I couldn’t believe that I managed to man the wheel for 2+ hours and it was a lot of fun. He was also accommodating based on the needs of the group - it was Sunday and every patch of beach on Frioul was taken so we sailed further out.

A great day on the sea - We enjoyed the day a lot, definitely a highlight for the week!
Just one thing - bring your own water. In case you need water you can buy some midway from an ice cream boat, but you can only pay cash.

Great Experience - This was by far the highlight of our trip! Julian was the best! He not only took great care of us during a windy day (which made this mom nervous!) but he did it with compassion and humor! The kids were able to help raise the sails and drive the boat, plus have fun swimming and snorkeling in the cove. Bring cash in case the ice cream boat is out in the cove! Julian was full of knowledge about the Marseille area and answered all of our questions about the islands and buildings that surrounded us. Also gave great local recommendations which we will need to come back and try as this trip happened on our last day! If you are looking for a fun and unique adventure, book this trip, you will not be disappointed!

Suberb day sailing around Friuli - Superb day of discovery of sailing with family! We all feasted, both while driving the sailboat and during swimming stops in the creeks of Friuli National Park!
I'd do it again every day if I had time!
Thanks to the skipper for the great atmosphere on board!

Sailing to the Frioul Islands - Really enjoyed our sailing trip with Valentino. Learnt about sailing, had a ho with the rudder & enjoyed a swim. Sailing along the mediterranean sea with the sun sparkling & viewing Marseilles from the sea was beautiful.

Turned away with my two kids - DO NOT BOOK THROUGH THIS APPLICATION. I get to the meet up location, just for the sail boats to already be full. The Skipper says our names were never on the list. Called and they apologized that this app isn’t connected to their business.

Trip cancelled for good reason - inclement weather. - Trip was cancelled due to high winds and rough seas. Not tour operator’s fault. Winds were very heavy in Marceille that day.
