Itinerary
From the Old Port of Marseille, we cross the southern harbor to the Porte des Calanques. "La Baie des Singes" is a natural passage of exceptional beauty between Maïre Island and Cape Croisette. Our visit continues here in a natural setting where we evolve under sail like the first navigators who discovered new horizons. The Calanques of Marseille extend over more than twenty kilometers of coastline between the village of Goudes. It is one of the most remarkable sites in France, and a major area of natural resources and sporting activities. These Calanques are the favorite terrain of the Goélette Alliance. In 2012, the Calanques massif became a National Park to which La Goélette Alliance has privileged access. The decor is majestic between the limestone cliffs overlooking the wild coves and the old small fishing ports where the huts are nestled, modest typically Provençal settlements.

Hello Alexis and Nina Thank you for this superb trip on Alliance at sunset in Frioul, just magnificent. Our friends from Marseille loved it too. Thank you for sharing the helm, my partner Yves was over the moon, and thank you for your good humor and wonderful spirit of sharing and trust on the sea. The vegetarian meal was very good and the welcome drink upon arrival was nice. Fair winds Julie and Yves from Brittany
Not to be missed! A magical view of Marseille from the sea, at the end of the day and at night. The staff is very, very professional and friendly (even with those late for boarding...). The boat is beautiful and well-maintained. The material conditions are pleasant. Swimming is a key moment. The buffet is delicious (a bit filling perhaps?). We enjoyed it!
We had a rough start because they are now tucked behind the museum in a small canal and we couldn't find them. Once we got under way, all those frustrations faded away as we watched Marseilles change her colors (the city actually looks pink!) as the sun went down. The crew are friendly and attentive; we didn't expect it, but they also brought a light dinner and plenty of rose wine.
Very beautiful experience. Friendly and warm atmosphere. Nice vegetarian buffet accompanied by cold drinks for every taste. A breathtaking sunset.
Beautiful experience A sailboat of great beauty, magical places, very pleasant team An activity I recommend for tourists and Marseille
Despite the wind not to set sail which is quite disappointing for a sailboat, for dinner the boat stuck in a creek to the other boats present. Cold and mediocre dinner like pasta salads, no sodas for children, bad wines in cubi etc... but the return to the Old Port at night is magical. However, the crew is intended. The owner must never eat on board. ...for 110 euros it's a bit of a tourist catch. In love with the sea, abstain.
We went for the boat trip on a trainning activity and we really had fun. The boat is very beautiful and confortable, the food were well presented and delicious, the crew is nice. The landscape is amazing! Sunset + moon born at thesame time was pretty spcial. Thanks!
An incredible sunset cruise! This was a beautiful experience and one you won't forget. The ride was smooth and the dip into the ocean felt luxurious! The crew were friendly and professional, the food was delicious, and the summer breeze couldn't have felt better. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Marseille!
This cruise was an excellent way to relax and enjoy the coast of Marseille. We had Miles and Alex as our guides and they were professional, fun, and considerate. The boat is beautiful and well kept, and you can move about it throughout the cruise. The dinner proved was delicious and plentiful as well. The views were beautiful and tranquil. It is definitely worth your time to book this excursion.
Not really a cruise, just motored out to the island, anchored off for a few hours, bit of swimming and salad, and motored back. I didn’t get a glass of wine as it had run out. A crew member then opened another bottle for me and gave it to us, I poured some for some other guests, who we didn’t actually know, assuming it was part of the trip. He then told us we had to pay €25 euro’s for for the wine! The food was salad and fruit salad for dessert. Nice, but a bit underwhelming. Good views of Marseilles and a lovely sunset but a bit of sailing or a bit more of a cruise or even a trip round the island, would have been better.
