Sailboat Ketch D'expédition Stervenn Mk2 13m

Hello, I offer sailing trips on my boat, Marie Lutin II, a 13m ketch with a capacity of 11 people (12 with skipper). A sailing school boat for ocean voyaging and expeditions, it will amaze you with its comfort both at sea and at anchor in the surrounding coves. Come discover the Calanques and sailing! As a nautical professional for over 15 years, I will accompany you to discover the wonders of the Calanques through a route adapted to your interests and the weather conditions. The goal is to sail and to have you participate in the maneuvers at your own pace, sharing with you this passion that drives me! You can steer, hoist the sails, and learn how to perform maneuvers! Or simply enjoy the comfort of a flush deck (open to the air) while letting yourself be carried away by the captivating sounds of the water. Swimming and snorkeling stops in the Calanques are organized according to your wishes and supervised by a certified lifeguard. Excursions are adaptable to your goals and desires; don't hesitate to contact me so we can define the recipe for an unforgettable day together! Here are the classic options offered: Day Trips: 10 a.m.–5 p.m., round trip to the Mucem (Musée d'Etudes Universitaires de la Musique), Vieux Port. Sailing in the Calanques Natural Park. Tour of Marseille harbor, anchoring (stops at anchor) in the coves of Frioul Island or the southern calanques. Discover sailing, the marine environment, and the reserve. Evening Trips (Sunset): 7 p.m.–10 p.m., round trip to the Mucem (Musée d'Etudes Universitaires de la Musique), Vieux Port. Sailing in Marseille harbor, tour and anchorage in a cove on Frioul Island. Sunset at anchor or at sea. Return at night under the city lights. Meals and drinks are not provided, but there is a refrigerator on board to keep your snacks cool. We look forward to welcoming you aboard Marie Lutin!

We had the best day with Maël. He was very warm and welcoming, communicative, taught us about sailing and the nearby Calanques we visited. It was an incredibly windy day and it was clear that his experience and knowledge about managing the boat and the conditions were strong. We felt really safe and comfortable and had an incredible time. Would highly recommend!

We had an incredible day aboard Mael's sailboat! His presence and advice on the day's program were greatly appreciated. Those who wished could participate in the maneuvers and learn more about sailing. The whole group connected with Mael, and joy quickly set in on board. He taught us a lot, and his good humor and friendliness brightened up the already sunny day! The boat is very comfortable (mattresses for resting), and there were 10 of us (+ 1 with Mael). We had plenty of space, and the equipment provided was perfect for exploring the coves. A big thank you again, Mael, for this magnificent day. We will keep wonderful memories of it.

An excellent day with Maël on his beautiful sailboat! It all came together: exceptional weather, a sublime natural setting, a passionate skipper, and a group of friends delighted to discover the Frioul Islands in this way. An experience to be repeated as soon as possible.

We had a wonderful day on the sailboat with Mael. Mael communicates carefully and promptly. Throughout the day, he shared a lot of information with us about sailing. We enjoyed everything he shared with us. We visited beautiful bays, enjoyed swimming, and made use of the onboard SUPs, snorkels, and flippers. Thanks to Mael!

An exceptional experience on this sailboat with Maël who was very accommodating in organizing the evening and who was very educational, kind and patient in the way he taught us a few things about sailing. He is truly passionate about what he does and that makes these moments all the more enjoyable and authentic. Thank you again for everything, we can only recommend the experience!

We are a group of 8 friends who booked a whole day (10 a.m. - 10 p.m.) on Saturday October 30 to enjoy the day and the sunset aboard Mael's sailboat. We couldn't hope for better than his warm welcome, the transmission of his passion for sailing (despite a light wind, Mael did his best to hoist the three sails and tack a few tacks), the discovery of new magnificent spots around Marseille with sharing some of his favorite sites for tranquility, scenery and snorkeling. All this in complete safety of course. A tailor-made program and a day spent in blissful mood, we will come back without hesitation! Thank you again for these good times shared.

Superb experience! Maël's kindness made this day perfect. He explained to us the different possible outings on the day depending on the wind and the weather. We felt safe all along, were able to take the helm, learn a lot of things, while enjoying and resting (swimming in the creeks, nap during navigation). Maël naturally knows how to find the right balance between sharing his passion and leaving privacy to his guests. Thank you very much, we will remember this day for a long time.

Professional and pedagogue, we all very much appreciated this day during which we were able to participate in the maneuvers and enrich ourselves with his knowledge. The course of the day was decided jointly and the experience was very friendly. Safety remains one of its priorities. A great meeting!
