Our partner caterer works with seasonal produce from Provence. Menus change through the year: ask us for the current menu, mentioning any allergies or special diets among your guests.
Would you rather bring your own drinks? On a private boat, you can: ice, glasses and a table are on board.

Anchorages
Where to enjoy your drinks: our favourite anchorages
The coves of the Côte Bleue
A few minutes from Port Corbières, the calanques of Niolon, Méjean and La Redonne offer clear water and anchorages sheltered from the mistral. Quiet in the evening, they are ideal for peaceful drinks, facing the sun setting over the sea.
The Frioul islands and the Château d’If
Pomègues and Ratonneau, at the entrance to the bay, offer a spectacular setting: limestone cliffs, turquoise water and a view of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde. On the way back, the boat passes the illuminated Château d’If.
The bay of Marseille
For more urban drinks, the anchorage facing the Corniche and the city lights has a lot of charm: the sun sets behind the islands while Marseille lights up.
What about the calanques of the National Park?
They are superb, but very busy in season and subject to strict regulations: music forbidden, speed limited, and some calanques closed to motorboats. We can include them on request, in line with the rules of the Calanques National Park.
Good practice
Responsible drinks at sea
Drinks at sea are best enjoyed in moderation. The skipper does not drink alcohol during the trip and stays in full control of the boat. For your safety, swimming is not recommended after drinking, and children get their own soft drinks and board.
We favour reusable tableware and bring all rubbish back to port. Posidonia seagrass is protected: the skipper chooses an anchorage on a sandy bottom so as not to damage it.
How it goes
How drinks at sea go
- 1
Boarding at Port Corbières
Meet at the port, with private, secure parking. The skipper welcomes you on board and goes through the safety instructions.
- 2
Sailing to the anchorage
Head for a cove on the Côte Bleue or the Frioul islands, depending on the weather and the evening light.
- 3
The prestige drinks
At anchor, champagne is served with the premium board. A swim is possible before sunset.
- 4
Back to the lights of Marseille
Sailing at dusk as the city lights up, returning to port about three hours after departure.
The skipper adapts the route to the weather: if the mistral blows, he chooses a sheltered anchorage. Times follow the sunset, earlier in spring and autumn, later in summer. We confirm the exact departure time when you book.
Budget
Prestige drinks at sea: how much per person?
Prestige drinks are added to the price of the boat trip. On a private boat, the price of the boat is shared between all the guests: the bigger the group, the more affordable prestige drinks become. Here are three examples calculated for a sunset, skipper and fuel included.
| Option | 6 people | 10 people | 12 people |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private sailboat + Drinks (€19) | €136 per person | €89 per person | €77 per person |
| Private sailboat + Prestige drinks (€35) | €152 per person | €105 per person | €93 per person |
| IA Orana catamaran + Prestige drinks (€35) | €217 per person | €144 per person | €126 per person |
For a small group, the most economical option is the shared sunset: €89 per seat, plus €35 for prestige drinks, i.e. €124 per person with the glass of champagne and the premium board. For a group of more than 16 people, several boats meet at the same anchorage, and we draw up a single quote.
The prices above are for the summer season. From October to April, the sun sets earlier: prestige drinks are then served in the late afternoon, with the city lighting up on the way back, and the private boat benefits from lower prices. In every case, the quote details the price of the boat, the price of drinks per person and the extras chosen, such as a host or a cake, with no hidden costs.
Our tips
Perfect prestige drinks at sea: 5 skipper’s tips
- Choose the time of sunset. Departure is one hour before: drinks are served at anchor just as the light turns the cliffs of the Frioul golden. The exact time is confirmed when you book.
- Keep the champagne well chilled. The cool box on board is filled with ice before departure; if you bring your own bottles, hand them to the skipper as soon as you board.
- Bring a light jumper. Even in summer, the air cools quickly on the water after sunset, especially on the way back at night.
- Plan the surprise. Marriage proposal, birthday, retirement: let us know, the skipper knows how to be discreet and we prepare the cake, flowers or decorations with you.
- Leave the car at the port. The Port Corbières car park is private and secure; for the way home, plan a driver who does not drink, or a taxi.
On board, prestige drinks are enjoyed in moderation and always safely: you stay seated while sailing, and swimming is only possible before drinks, with the skipper’s agreement. For a longer evening, with a real dinner served at anchor, discover our evening at sea.

Where are the drinks served?
At anchor, in a cove on the Côte Bleue, facing the Château d’If or the Frioul islands, at sunset. The skipper chooses the most sheltered spot depending on the day’s weather.
Can we organise a marriage proposal?
Yes, it is one of the most beautiful moments we organise: a private boat, champagne, the sunset and complete discretion. We prepare everything with you in advance.
How long do drinks at sea last?
About three hours for a private sunset: sailing to the anchorage, drinks, a swim if the weather allows and the return to the lights of Marseille. The evening at sea runs from 6pm to 11pm with dinner on board.
Can we play music during drinks?
Yes, at a reasonable volume, outside the heart of the Calanques National Park, where amplified music is forbidden. On the Côte Bleue or facing the bay, your playlist accompanies the sunset.

Are drinks served in bad weather?
The skipper decides on the trip depending on the weather. If the sea is too rough, we offer another date at no cost. In moderate wind, he chooses a sheltered anchorage to serve drinks in good conditions.
Do we need to book ahead?
For a private boat and a catering option, ideally one to two weeks ahead. Drinks on a shared trip can be booked up to the day before, subject to availability.
