Beautiful boat and tour! Note, this is not geared for cruise passengers. Check your last shuttle time before booking. We had called our cruise line before booking and were told we had to be back on the ship by 5:30. This tour is due back by 5. What we didn't know is that there'a a 20+ minute shuttle bus drive involved to get to/from the cruise ship. We learned the morning of this tour that the last shuttle back to the ship was at 5pm. That said, our captain for this Calanques tour, Alex, went above and beyond to get us back to our shuttle bus in time. He arranged for a boat taxi to come out to the final swim stop at 4:30 and drive us to a dock just 5 minutes walk from the shuttle bus. We were on the bus at 4:50. Phew! Alex easily could have told us to not join for the day (which i imagine would have resulted in us eating the cost that late in the game) but he made an amazing accommodation for us so we could enjoy the beautiful tour and not miss our cruise ship. With that, this tour is probably better suited for those not trying to catch a bigger boat after. :) Thank you to Alex and his crew mate for an amazing day with a yummy lunch too!

The crew was professional and friendly. The captain shared his knowledge of the area as we traveled. The food was fresh, plentiful and tasty. The two stops to swim were just right. Snorkeling equipment was provided and worked well. The boat was clean, including the toilet area. And I loved that it was not crowded. Plenty of room for everyone to relax and move around. I strongly recommend this tour. A great way to spend 7 hours on the water.

The view was very very beautiful, the swim wonderful and the lunch so tasty that I had more than I should. The crew was beyond nice to make sure that we had a perfect day excursion.

An excellent experience, sailing out of Marseille to the Calanque area. The ship was great with very good facilities on board. We really enjoyed the two swimming stops. Altogether, a wonderful trip. Highly recommended.

Our experience was an excellent one!! Everything was as expected. The captain and sailors spoke English to explain what to expect and tge rules on board. They also showed some people how to man a goelette... such as opening the sails. We visited 2 locations to swim/snorkel. It was fine eventhough the water was really cold/frigid. The trip was perfect otherwise.
