2.Sunset Sailing Cruise with Dinner and Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 453 reviews · 1 day · from $64Best value

Sail from Marseille’s Old Port aboard the wooden Goélette Alliance. You’ll cruise toward the Frioul archipelago, stop in a sheltered cove for swimming or snorkeling, eat a fresh vegetarian buffet with Provençal rosé, and return beneath the city lights. English, French, and Italian support is available.

“A very nice sunset cruise, the buffet dinner was good only they offered pasta and rice with focaccia so Italian food…no fish at all. The atmosphere on the boat was great as well as the crew, they were friendly and professional, they had the sails hoisted by some of the passengers so that they had the impression to be part of the crew. All well organized, I definitely recommend this tour!”

6.Frioul Archipelago Catamaran Cruise with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 49 reviews · from $90

Meet the Feng Shui catamaran by the Mucem for a six-hour outing to the Frioul Archipelago. Enjoy a seasonal buffet, one beer or wine, unlimited soft drinks, music, open-deck seating, and time to swim in clear Mediterranean coves.

“Had a great day. We sailed for an hour to get to a quiet bay of crystal clear water. Once there we stopped for 4 hours to eat and swim, then set off back home. If you’re a fussy eater like myself, you should bring your own lunch. The buffet wasn’t to my taste but as I am more fussy than most. It contained beef, cheeses, salad and potatoes. The bar and drinks (especially unlimited soft drinks) were great. The staff were very friendly and chatty, the obviously love the job. The atmosphere was communal and positive. There was a range of families, couples and young adults.Read more”
