How much does a birthday at sea in Marseille cost?
A birthday at sea on a private sailboat with a skipper costs €700 for a sunset, and €790 for an evening from 6pm to 11pm or a day from 10am to 5pm, for the whole boat. On a catamaran, allow from €1,090 for a sunset on IA Orana and €1,490 for a day. For two, the shared sunset starts at €89 per seat.
How many guests can we bring?
From 2 to 12 people on a sailboat, up to 20 on a catamaran and up to 25 on board the ketch Belle Aventure. For a larger group, we raft several boats together at anchor: the party carries on from one deck to the other.
Can we bring a birthday cake?
Yes, of course. Bring your cake, we keep it cool on board and the skipper leaves you the moment of surprise at anchor, facing the sunset or in a cove.
What does the price include?
The private boat, the professional skipper, fuel, port taxes, the paddleboard and safety equipment. Drinks, meals and decorations are optional or brought by you.
Can we arrange drinks or a meal?
Yes: the Drinks package at €19 per person (two glasses and a sharing board), Prestige drinks at €35 with a glass of champagne, the caterer’s lunch from €35 to €75 per person, and dinner from €50 per person. You can also bring your own picnic.
Can we organise a surprise birthday?
Yes, it is one of our specialities. We agree with you on a meeting point, a cover story and a time, and we keep the secret until boarding.
Which option should we choose for a birthday at sea?
The sunset, about three hours with drinks at anchor, is the most popular option. The evening extends the party until 11pm with dinner on board. The full day lets you enjoy swimming, the coves and lunch at anchor.
Where do the boats leave from?
From Port Corbières in L’Estaque, with private, secure parking. All our boats can also leave from Cassis or La Ciotat, with a supplement of €300.
Can we play music on board?
Yes, outside the heart of the Calanques National Park, where amplified music is forbidden. The skipper chooses a suitable anchorage, for example on the Côte Bleue or at the Frioul outside protected areas.
Can children come?
Yes, children are welcome, with life jackets in their size. A birthday at sea is an unforgettable memory for the whole family.
How far in advance should I book?
Ideally two to three weeks ahead, and earlier for a Saturday in June, July or August. For a date coming up soon, contact us on WhatsApp: we always look for a solution, even if it means offering another boat.
Can we sleep on board after the party?
For a night on board, we offer our skippered charters on a sailboat or catamaran. Contact us to combine the birthday evening with a night at anchor or in port.
What if the weather is bad?
The skipper decides on the trip depending on the weather. If the mistral blows or the sea is too rough, we offer to postpone to another date at no cost.
Can we give a birthday at sea as a gift?
Yes, with our gift vouchers, valid for 12 months and extendable by 6 months free of charge: sunset for two, evening or day at sea.
