Here's what they have to say
Sunset cruise with La Goélette Alliance
A magical and peaceful evening. My mind is still filled with all those beautiful sights that the sea, the sun and even the moon allowed me to take in on that superb sailing boat. A really friendly crew. I’d love to do it again.
Boat Trip: Marseille and the Calanques
It was brilliant, despite the weather. Thanks to Laurent – he was very professional and really friendly. We’ll definitely do it again when we’re in the area or when we’re taking our boat licence (a little nod to Cédric...). Thanks!!
A day out on a boat with Eco Calanques
A brilliant day! We were made to feel very welcome indeed, and we won’t forget this day in a hurry! Thank you very much!
It's recommended, especially for popular salons or specific techniques, though some addresses also offer same-day availability depending on the season.
On Funbooker, you can pay by credit card, PayPal, Funpass credit, or Illicado.
You'll pass by many of the city's most iconic landmarks and monuments, with the exact route depending on the company and itinerary you choose.
This varies by company. Some allow small pets on board, while others don't, so it's best to check directly with the operator beforehand.
Yes, cruises are family-friendly and welcoming for children of all ages, though some evening or dinner cruises may be better suited to adults.
You may cancel or change a booking subject to the service provider's terms and conditions.
The Calanques look completely different from the water. We've selected the best boat excursions departing from Marseille, from 2-hour narrated tours to full days with swimming stops. Every operator listed here is approved by the Parc National des Calanques.
This is the historic reference point on the Vieux-Port. The company runs narrated tours accessible to every budget, with regular departures throughout the day, an easy option for a stress-free day at sea with family or friends, backed by genuine commentary on the history of the Marseille coastline.
Our favourite: the "L'intégrale des calanques" circuit, which runs the full length of the Marseille coast all the way to Cassis. The best value for seeing the maximum number of calanques in a single outing.
This large catamaran is easy to spot from the Vieux-Port, with a convivial, spacious atmosphere aboard, far from boats where passengers end up packed in against each other. Half-day and full-day formulas include a meal, with swimming stops in coves otherwise hard to reach.
Our favourite: the full-day calanques trip with meal and swimming included, a genuinely honest package for what it offers.
This operator has sailed the calanques since 2007, and it shows. The team knows the secret spots that classic tours don't show, and groups stay deliberately small to keep an intimate atmosphere. Departing from the Pointe Rouge avoids the Vieux-Port crowds and saves time on the water. Formulas include swimming and snorkelling stops.
Our favourite: the full day by catamaran with swimming included, a perfect format for anyone who genuinely wants to take their time exploring.
Privatisation comes first here: motorboats for 8 to 12 people, with a skipper, explore the calanques of the Parc National or the Frioul islands in a small group. It's the ideal choice for a group of friends, a birthday or a company outing where sharing the boat with strangers isn't part of the plan.
Our favourite: the evening sunset outing over the calanques, a moment that's genuinely hard to match.
Two must-sees combine in a single outing here: the calanques and the Château d'If. Tours run narrated, with daily departures offering real flexibility for planning around your schedule, a solid option for visitors passing through Marseille who want to see the essentials in half a day.
We'd recommend the visit to the six largest calanques, from Callelongue to Sugiton, taking in Sormiou and the Riou archipelago along the way. The most complete tour for an overall view of the Marseille coastline.
The Nava Tiki sets this operator apart, a concept found nowhere else in Marseille: a cocktail bar boat that cruises between the Frioul archipelago and the Château d'If. Fuel and the skipper come included in the price.
Our favourite: the sunset outing aboard the Nava Tiki, for an evening in Marseille that genuinely stands out from the ordinary.
A 27-metre traditional sailing ship, moored at the Vieux-Port, steps from the Hôtel de Ville, is the draw here. Guests board for a genuine sailing trip through the Parc National des Calanques, with an organic lunch prepared on board. It's a different kind of experience from other operators, slower and more relaxed, for anyone who genuinely wants to take their time.
Our favourite: the full sailing day with a swimming stop and a vegetarian lunch served on board, a rare format to find in Marseille.
Hybrid-electric boats set this operator apart, which genuinely changes the experience: a silent motor, sailing close to the cliffs without disturbing wildlife, and groups capped at 12 people. It's the operator to choose if the environmental side matters to you, without sacrificing comfort or quality.
We'd recommend the half-day trip with a swimming stop in the park, departing from the Vieux-Port, with masks and snorkels provided.
