On Thursday night, we forget everything. We're setting sail for the Sunset Guinguette, your new weekly summer event!
Departing from the Old Port of Marseille, take your seat aboard our maxi-catamaran Samba for an original, friendly, and festive evening at sea… that you won't soon forget.
Upon leaving the harbour, we set course for the Frioul Archipelago, a group of wild, rocky islands located at the entrance to the Marseille harbour. The journey 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 drops anchor in the heart of this spectacular setting. You can fully enjoy the sunset: paddleboarding, snorkelling, or relaxing on board, as you wish. The aperitif is served: beer, rosé, Planteur 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, laugh, and 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 the drop-off at the Vieux Port.
A Thursday evening unlike any other. To be experienced and relived… all summer long.
Everything is included: sailing, crew, anchorage, paddleboards, snorkelling, soft drinks, aperitif (beer, rosé, punch), and snacks. Nothing to add on board: just enjoy the moment.
