Another great rental from Fabien. The boat is clean and great condition, Fabien is very flexible with timings and always on time with no waiting around. He is helpful and very thorough when explaining the boat and it's safety features. Would not hesitate to use again.

Fabien is great at communicating and very friendly. He arrived on time and showed us all the safety aspects of the boat, which was very clean and in great condition. Fabien was very accommodating regarding timings and couldn’t have been more helpful. Overall a fantastic experience and we would be sure to book with Fabien again. Highly recommended!

We left from L'Estaque to the cove of Sormiou via the Frioul Islands and the Bay of Monkeys. The landscapes are magnificent and you can also observe the monuments of Marseille from the sea. Just be careful: you cannot use a towed buoy in or near the coves.
Nous sommes partis de L'Estaque jusqu'à la calanque de Sormiou en passant par les îles du Frioul et la baie des singes. Les paysages sont magnifiques et on peut aussi observer les monuments de Marseille depuis la mer. Faîte juste attention: on ne peut pas faire de bouée tractée dans ou proche des calanques.
