About the experience

At the most magical time of day. Embark on a captivating evening, where the golden light of the setting sun sets the cliffs of the Côte Bleue ablaze. A suspended moment, between the orange sky and the sparkling sea, to be shared with friends or loved ones in an intimate atmosphere.

The price is for the entire excursion, skipper/owner included.
You are welcome to bring food and drinks.
Included for the evening: 1 glass of white wine or cider and chips, and tapenade.

From L'Estaque, you'll set off for a gentle three-hour sail. At this time, the wind dies down, so under motor or sail if there's still wind, we'll drop anchor in a cove/anchorage with a view of the Côte Bleue. A swimming break with snorkeling equipment is available to explore the seabed still bathed in light. On board the sailboat, the setting is intimate and warm. An amplified speaker is available. Nestle peacefully in this wild landscape. The scenery changes minute by minute as the sun sets over the horizon. Then comes aperitif time: chips, cider, or white wine, to be enjoyed far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Served on board to celebrate this moment of pure beauty.

Unlike large, crowded boats, this excursion is enjoyed in a small group, in an intimate and friendly atmosphere. The co-navigation concept allows you to feel part of the adventure, while enjoying the calm of the evening.

It's a gentle and authentic way to discover Marseille from the sea, without artifice, with only the wind, the water, and the light as your companions. A perfect experience to end the day in style, capturing the very essence of the Mediterranean summer.

    We spent a wonderful afternoon with Philou on his sailboat. He's very friendly, flexible, and attentive. He goes above and beyond to ensure we have the best possible time. A little tip for future travelers: remember to check if there's any wind during your sailing trip. We highly recommend it!

Highly recommended! FRIOUL IS COOL!!! Thanks, Philou!

    This is just the worst boat experience we had, the owner is accommodating but the boat is piece of junk, dirty, filthy and disgusting. It seems like the owner is homeless and lives on the boat where you can see his personal belongings all over. Engine hardly work and when is on make smoke and burning smell which is unsafe and danger. There is no place for 2 to sit, equipments and ropes all over, you can’t even step a foot downstairs or close to cabin it’s homeless like place. I am not sure how this platform allowed such advertising it is not just disgusting it is dangerous and unsafe that we had to cut our trip hours shorter to make it safe to port. I hardly make negative review but felt my civil duty to do so for safety of others. ******************************* REPONSE DU PROPRIETAIRE PHILIPPE : C'est tout simplement la pire expérience en tant que capitaine que j'ai eu.. D'abord j'ai envoyé le plan exact google Maps pour le rendez-vous. J'ai attendu une 1/2.. Mais bon! Hadi m'a demandé si j'avais une machine à glaçon. Non j'en ai pas! Mais j'ai trouvé des glaçons en magazin car j'ai un bac froid étanche. Oui je vis dans mon voilier et le voilier n'est pas aussi clean qu'un voilier de location pure. Oui dans un voilier il y a des cordages..bizarre ?! Louer un bateau moteur aurait été plus adapter pour eux. Le moteur ne fume un peu. Oui une odeur de plastique du à la chaleur ( vieux moteur). Je ne suis pas sans abri et je vis bien dans mon voilier l'été. Il y a plus que 2 place dans mon voilier.. 6 personnes tiennent en général.. Sur 69 commentaires positif, je suis atterré d'avoir ce genre de commentaires aussi délétère qui pointe que du négatif... Je les ais emmener dans de chouettes coins. Quelques bon moments.. Quand le bateau à giter un moment, il m'a demander de le remettre à plat d'une façon assez agressif.. Un bateau à moteur leur aurait été parfait, je conçois, mais bon! Désolé pour eux!

    Great adventure with Philippe! Thank you for the welcome and the discovery of sailing, a real feeling of freedom around Marseille with a magnificent sunset! Philippe does not hesitate to communicate his passion for sailing and to put his sailors to work for good navigation! A letting go punctuated by the wind to the sound of his funky jazzy compositions! See you soon captain!

    In terms of day navigation, nothing to complain about, Philippe is a passionate teacher, who is committed to having a good time and discovering his little corners of wild anchorage and sublime coves. On the other hand...we had booked for a 3-day weekend, and therefore 2 nights, as a family... In the end, we only spent one, and too bad for the extra day and night that we paid for ... Bins in the entrance on the ground upon arrival in the saloon; substantial dishes not done in the sink (and which will remain there during the 2 days!). The state of the saloon, the passenger cabin, the kitchen are not at all in agreement with the photographs on the site which must date from several years... Above all, no water other than in bottles, therefore complexity for personal hygiene, dishes, washing hands in the toilets... in short, difficult / (un)sustainable over time, and above all without having been able to anticipate this complexity in us weren't informed... On the beds in the cabin: sheets, blankets and sleeping bag which very obviously had just been used the same night. On the other bed were thrown pell-mell an annex, cabin door, bags... On the ground in the cabin still, residue of rubbish, old sponges from the bottom of the hold... Total more than mixed, which unfortunately counterbalances the skills and passions of the captain. Really a shame, because wild camping and adventure have never been anything other than a pleasure for us...

    We rented the boat for a day (family with two children). Upstream, Philippe was responsive and responded quickly to all our messages. The boat conforms to the description. It takes the wind well and (with Philippe as skipper) knows how to get the best out of it. Philippe was a very friendly skipper, meeting our expectations and answering all our questions. He was able to share his love of sailing and made us participate (depending on our weak skills) in the manoeuvres. The day was very very pleasant. The morning, despite a lack of wind was pleasant. The meal in the creek provided us with an exceptional setting (tip: bring some bread for the fish, it's great, especially with children). Philippe had planned the necessary for a pleasant moment: table, shelter... But the afternoon with the arrival of the wind was superb. The boat that Philippe knows how to get the best out of has proved to be very pleasant and "lively". In short, trust Philippe to make you live a memorable day. Note: feel free to send a message to Philippe before making the reservation. He will give you all the necessary details.

    An authentic experience with Philippe: navigation, nature and music in Marseille! We recently had the privilege of spending an unforgettable day with Philippe on his sailboat in Marseille. From the first moments, we were touched by Philippe's authenticity and human warmth. His kindness and open-mindedness created a friendly atmosphere, where everyone on board felt immediately at ease. Philippe is much more than an experienced skipper, he is a true travel companion, ready to share his knowledge and his stories. His passion for sailing was palpable. He maneuvers his sailboat with mastery, making us navigate in complete safety while making us discover the joys of sailing. What made this experience even more unique was Philippe's love for nature and simple things. We were lucky enough to swim in a secluded cove, sheltered from the wind. Philippe was respectful of the environment, encouraging us to preserve these natural treasures for future generations. And as if that weren't enough, Philippe has another string to his bow: music! We were able to discuss and share on this subject as well. In conclusion, we highly recommend living this unique experience with Philippe on his sailboat in Marseille. Her warm personality, her love of nature and simplicity, her passion for sailing and her musical touch make this sea trip an extraordinary experience. We will all 4 keep a strong and sincere memory of this beautiful day aboard Philippe's sailboat.
