Marseille sea trip: a unique experience between Frioul, swimming and discoveries

Set sail from Marseille, admire the cliffs, drop anchor in a turquoise cove and enjoy a privileged moment away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

This excursion takes you to the Frioul archipelago, a veritable natural gem located just a few minutes from the Old Port. It's an original way to discover Marseille from the sea, while enjoying a convivial experience.

Discover the Marseille coastline in a different way

As soon as you leave the harbour, the boat follows the famous Corniche Kennedy, and you’ll catch sight of the picturesque Vallon des Auffes, the Fausse Monnaie cove, the elegant villas clinging to the coast, and the cliffs that line the Mediterranean. Then, we head towards the Endoume archipelago, where one of Marseille’s hidden gems is revealed: Île Degaby, a former fortress offering spectacular scenery.

The Frioul archipelago: one of Marseille’s most spectacular sights.

The cruise continues towards Frioul Island. Its unspoilt coves and panoramic views of the city provide an exceptional setting for a day out at sea. As the boat sails on, passengers also learn about Marseille’s maritime history, the ancient fortifications and the islands that have protected the harbour for centuries. Swimming stops allow you to make the most of this unspoilt environment and see Marseille from a completely different perspective.

An exclusive opportunity: the chance to dock on the Île d'If

Visitors can also choose to include a stopover on the Île d’If during the monument’s opening hours. Thanks to our partnership with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux, we are one of the few operators able to dock directly on the island. This option is a real bonus for travellers wishing to enhance their boat trip with a cultural experience, whilst still enjoying the sea air.
