Yacht charter in Marseille · Cnso — SamouraÏ Mk1 (1970)
Description of Christophe's sailboat
Sailboat Cnso SamouraÏ Mk1 7.6m
My sailboat, Samurai, is a 7.60-meter (25.6-foot) live-aboard keelboat, equipped with a comfortable cabin with four berths, perfectly suited for coastal cruising and introductory sailing. Its manageable size makes it an excellent platform for learning the basics of sailing, whether for a first-time sailor or for improving your skills. The aft transom is equipped with a swim ladder, facilitating access to the sea for refreshing swims in the crystal-clear waters of the Frioul coves or along the magnificent Côte Bleue. I offer day trips as well as mini-cruises over a weekend, depending on your preferences. These excursions are an opportunity to learn how to handle the sails in real-life conditions: jibs, genoas, mainsails, and even spinnakers for the more curious. I take the time to explain each maneuver and guide each participant, regardless of their level. The goal is to share a fun and educational sailing experience in a friendly atmosphere. As a sailing enthusiast for many years, and particularly attached to the spirit of regatta racing, I enjoy sharing my knowledge and introducing others to the unique sensations of sailing. Aboard Samouraï, you won't be mere passengers: you'll become crew members, fully involved in the experience. Whether you're alone, as a couple, or with friends, embark on an authentic maritime adventure, combining learning, relaxation, and wonder.

Overall rating
I had a wonderful sailing day with Christoph and can highly recommend the experience. From the beginning he was warm, calm and very welcoming, which made the whole day feel relaxed and enjoyable. Christoph explains things clearly and patiently, so it’s perfect whether you’re completely new to sailing or want to improve your skills. One thing I especially appreciated was that he let me steer the boat almost the entire time because I wanted to practice and improve my sailing for the Mediterranean. That level of trust and encouragement made the experience both fun and very valuable. He takes the time to explain maneuvers and shares his knowledge in a very accessible way. Christoph is kind, respectful and creates a friendly atmosphere on board where you really feel like part of the crew rather than just a passenger. It’s a great opportunity to learn while enjoying a beautiful day on the water. One small tip: if you don’t speak French, it’s a good idea to contact him beforehand so you can make sure communication on board works smoothly. Overall, a fantastic and authentic sailing experience — I would happily sail with Christoph again! ⛵️
We had an absolutely exceptional time thanks to Christophe, who sailed with us to Frioul Island from Marseille. The trip was conducted with great kindness, a genuine sense of hospitality, and constant attention to ensure everyone, including our three children, fully enjoyed the day! A huge thank you for sharing this experience, Christophe!
An incredible experience in Marseille! Christophe is an experienced sailor who guided me through the boat with ease and ease! He's a very welcoming and kind person; I recommend a day on his boat to everyone!
Eager to learn to sail, I couldn't have found a better place! Christophe is an outstanding instructor, friendly and caring. We were a family of four with two children and a toddler, and this day at sea was perfect. We had a wonderful time. Thank you again, Christophe.

Je navigue depuis 50 ans en Manche, Atlantique et aujourd'hui en Méditerranée. Le Samouraï est mon 10ème voilier. Mon bonheur est de partager ma passion de la navigation et d'initier au maniement des voiles . Je propose des sorties voiles depuis le Vieux port de Marseille à la journée (10h à 19h), 1/2 journée (14h à 19h), week-end Côte bleue (1 nuit à bord). Escales baignades dans les calanques.
