Private Boat Tours in Marseille & the Calanques
Discover Marseille’s coastline from a new perspective with Localanque, your trusted provider for private boat tours, skippered rentals and tailor-made experiences in the heart of the Calanques National Park.
Our boats depart from Marseille and can take you to the Calanques, Frioul Islands, Côte Bleue and hidden coves only accessible by sea.
2-HOUR DISCOVERY BOAT TRIP IN MARSEILLE
A true invitation to explore Marseille from its most spectacular viewpoint — the sea — our boat excursions offer far more than a simple ride. Each tour tells a story: the story of the city, its Calanques, its islands, and its maritime heritage, where nature, history and emotion meet at every horizon.
Departing from the Vieux-Port of Marseille, our private or small-group tours take you toward the iconic Calanques, the rugged beauty of the Frioul Archipelago, the turquoise creeks of the Côte Bleue, and the legendary Château d’If.
Along the way, you’ll discover the region’s historical, geographical and marine heritage — from the origins of the Vieux-Port to the secrets of Château d’If and the unique geological formations of the Calanques.
HALF-DAY & FULL-DAY BOAT TRIPS WITH SKIPPER
Year-round boat experiences departing from Marseille, tailored for individuals, families, and groups on the Mediterranean Sea.
From romantic moments to unique adventures, our private outings offer unforgettable ideas such as marriage proposals at sea, sunset cruises, and slow-tourism experiences designed to help you relax, disconnect, and enjoy the art of sailing.
We also organize corporate events, including seminars, team-building activities, nautical rallies for 10 to 60 participants, on-water treasure hunts and custom programs to strengthen group cohesion.
For professionals, we provide dedicated boats for filming, scouting sessions, and photo shoots, with experienced skippers familiar with the coastline and production needs.
SEA FUNERAL CEREMONIES AT THE FRIOUL
Looking for a gentle and respectful sea ceremony to honor a final farewell? We combine maritime expertise with compassionate funeral guidance to create a serene and meaningful tribute at sea.
We organize ashes scattering ceremonies in a peaceful maritime setting and provide marine funeral items, including biodegradable urns and ocean-themed memorial accessories.
A dedicated approach that blends professional seamanship with the respect and dignity of the funeral ritual.
