An experienced sailor of over 30 years with extensive knowledge of coastal and offshore navigation, having worked as a professional skipper and merchant marine captain, I am passionate about sailing, regattas, and diving (as an instructor).

Overall rating
Alain is truly the best captain I could have hoped for, he did everything you could imagine to make our trip with him incredible. We had the perfect day thanks to Alain, we will definitely be back! Thank you Alain!!!
Boat was clean and beautiful. Alain is great Captain. He answered 100s of questions, was an awesome tour guide, swam with us and played life guard and even threw in a surprise visit to Cassis that my wife badly wanted. Will def come back and book with him again.
Wonderful day on the boat with Alain! He was very accommodating with last minute requests, friendly, hospitable and took great photos of our group. Definitely recommend his boat for a day touring the Calanques
Alain was a fantastic skipper and we had a wonderful time on his boat. He also has a great sense of humor. There was everything you could wish for and Alain accommodated all our requests. We made a last minute booking for 8 people for a day trip around La Ciotat to see the shore and enjoy some time swimming. I highly recommend spending the day with Alain - he even suggested an excellent place for us to go to dinner afterwards.
Alain is an amazing skipper and host, he booked a beautiful place for lunch for us last minute and was extremely accommodating. Highly recommended!
We had the most wonderful morning with Alain on his boat. The boat itself was beautiful and in great condition, and Alain was an amazing captain and host. He took us to several locations that were great for swimming and snorkeling and the whole family had the best time. Thank you Alain!
Alain was great - we had a lovely day exploring some of the most beautiful waters we've ever swam in. The boat was large and comfortable, absolutely the best value. He was fun to speak with, answered all our questions and made us coffee at the end of the day. Would definitely book with him again!
We had a fantastic day with Alain, he took us to the best places to snorkel and he gave us a lot of local insights. It was like a tour of paradise! He was exceptionally hospitable and we would recommend Alain and his boat to anyone.
The skipper is fun, kind and listened to our desires. He made our day very tailored to our wishes and it was perfect. He has lots of ideas for wonderful places to take you and shows his town/beaches with pride and knowledge. Gas is on top of fees-was worth it if you cover a lot of territory. Excellent day! Highly recommend Alain and his lovely boat.
Alain is so nice! And a VERY comfortable boat! Very roomy. We had 5 in our party and he also chose a very nice restaurant for us to lunch at Sarti. Delicious !
Alain is super friendly! We had a very great day on his boat! See you next time! Thank you very much!
Alain was superb
very nice day at sea with Alain, very friendly and welcoming
The Captain was absolutely brilliant – he offered us an unforgettable itinerary with breathtaking scenery. He is a truly exceptional person, and his mere presence was one of the highlights of the trip. We are grateful for every moment we spent on board and wish him the best. To all future passengers: we highly recommend him!
Thank you, Alain, for this delightful day at sea! It's rare to meet a captain who loves welcoming tourists and sharing his love of the sea and the surrounding area with them! Pure joy!!!! Juliette
Very nice family day on Alain's boat. The bay of La Ciotat is magnificent Alain is charming and very pleasant.
Superb afternoon with Alain on an exceptional boat. Visit to cliffs and coves, snorkeling, paddle. Alain is welcoming and flexible, and he makes it a point to ensure that the whole crew has a good time. I recommend 100%!
You can book with your eyes closed! Alain loves his region and he manages to make us discover it with enthusiasm and passion. He is very attentive to the people accompanying him and to everyone's safety. He also knows how to erase himself if you want to spend a little more private moments. I take advantage of this message to thank you Alain, we keep a wonderful memory of this day. Pleased to see you again!
At Alain, safety and punctuality are paramount. The boat is in good condition, and thanks to Alain's good organization, we were able to visit many places in 1 day. We thank "Alain Le Magicien" for this super fun day!
Very nice time spent with Alain. Thank you again for this pleasant experience! To do again!
I highly recommend Alain, don't ask yourself any questions and click on reservation!!! We had a great afternoon, very very good skipper, attentive, generous, sharing, friendly with great experience, very serious about safety and environmental conservation, very educational with children (and adults too) we were 3 adults and 4 children. He is passionate (and tells you, only if you wish, his beautiful life experiences, his knowledge, his anecdotes about a part of this region that he can show you around thanks to his very well equipped, comfortable boat which allows you to have several areas according to your desires). We had the pleasure of benefiting from his support on 07/19 throughout the day and we were ALL DELIGHTED and more than satisfied with the day he made us spend. Once again thank you very much Alan.
Thank you Alain for this moment of quality and sharing. Can't wait to repeat this experience. I recommend 100% Again a big thank you see you soon!!
What a magical moment, we experienced a dream afternoon as a couple. Alain was very kind and attentive, his experience and his explanations are invaluable, despite the strong wind he gave us a comfortable and very pretty course, we were really on vacation on this magnificent boat. In addition, Alain showed us and recommended a superb restaurant well hidden in a creek. Thank you Alan!
A great family day with Alain, everything was perfect!
A great morning with Alain!! His boat is magnificent and the value for money is perfect! We also paddled it was very funny :) Alain knows the area and I'm a great guide !! Thank you very much Alain we will not hesitate to repeat the experience next year :)
Alain is a very kind and polite person, it is a delight to spend the day with him. He was very generous with us sharing his appetizer and pleasing the children. The boat is very well maintained and very clean. The only fault is that we found the gasoline fee that was paid in advance in cash very expensive and the disembarkation that was excessively fast. We spent a very pleasant day with the family and Alain took care that it was so. I recommend it.
Exceptional moment with a beautiful person!!!! Thank you again for this superb moment, everyone was delighted… thank you thank you
Everything was perfect! Thanks to Alan.
An exceptional day with Alain, exceptional Skipper!! A big thank you for this wonderful day, your boat is at the top, it feels good, super maintained and clean. Can't wait for a next release!!!
Alain is an exceptional captain. We had a wonderful day on his superb boat. Very spacious, comfortable and in excellent condition.
Captain Alain is not only an expert sailor and professional but also a lot of fun. Open-minded and filled with such an abundance of history ready to enliven your sea outing. Our best decision during our visit to Ciotat was to pay Captain Alain a visit!
