Occasions
A sea transfer for every occasion
Dinner at a waterside restaurant
The skipper drops you at the pontoon of a restaurant in Vallon des Auffes, Les Goudes, Niolon or Cassis, then comes back to pick you up after dinner.
Beaches and coves without a car
Reach a cove on the Côte Bleue or the beaches of the Frioul without looking for a parking space or walking in the sun.
Weddings and events
Guest shuttle to a seaside reception venue, the couple’s arrival by sea, a transfer to a calanque for the photos.
Return by night
After an evening on the Vieux-Port or in Cassis, head home by sea under the stars, in complete safety, with a professional skipper.
Hotels and cruise passengers
A stopover in Marseille? We pick you up as close as possible to your hotel or the MuCEM to discover the bay from the sea.
Teams and seminars
A shuttle for employees to a seaside seminar venue, alongside our team building days.
The advantages
Why choose a sea transfer?
In summer, getting to a calanque, a seaside restaurant or the port of Cassis by car can take over an hour, not counting the search for a parking space. Scheduled shuttles have their timetables and queues, and do not serve all the small ports.
Save time
The sea transfer leaves at the time you choose and goes straight to your destination. From Port Corbières, Niolon is ten minutes away, the Vieux-Port twenty minutes and Les Goudes half an hour.
Travel in peace
No driving, no traffic jams, no need to watch your drinks for the way back: the skipper takes care of everything, even at night. You enjoy the view of the bay, the islands and the calanques.
A price known in advance
The 2-hour package is fixed, for the whole boat: with six people, a transfer at €240 comes to €40 per person, often cheaper than a taxi for a distant destination and far more pleasant.
And if you feel like making the most of it, a swim in a cove on the way is possible within the package time.
Destinations
From the Côte Bleue to La Ciotat, our drop-off points
The Côte Bleue: Sausset-les-Pins, Carry-le-Rouet, La Redonne, Méjean, Niolon
West of Marseille, the Côte Bleue has a string of small ports and sheltered calanques, served by a winding road that is often congested in summer. The sea transfer from Port Corbières drops you in a few minutes at Niolon or Méjean, and in under half an hour at Carry-le-Rouet or Sausset-les-Pins. The calanque restaurants there can be reached by sea, without a car.
Marseille: L’Estaque, the MuCEM, the Vieux-Port, Vallon des Auffes
From the port of L’Estaque to the Vieux-Port, the transfer runs along the breakwaters of the commercial port and arrives at the foot of the MuCEM and Fort Saint-Jean. Vallon des Auffes, a small fishing harbour famous for its restaurants, is just minutes away. A spectacular way to arrive in town or leave it.
South of Marseille: the Frioul, Pointe Rouge, Les Goudes, La Mounine
The Frioul islands, Pointe Rouge, the village of Les Goudes and the nearby calanques offer many restaurants with sea views. The transfer saves you the traffic on the Corniche and the wait for the Frioul shuttle in season.
Cassis, Île Verte and La Ciotat
To the east, the port of Cassis is about an hour from Port Corbières. For Île Verte and the port of La Ciotat, the transfer leaves from Cassis, at the foot of Cap Canaille. Ideal for lunch on Île Verte or an evening on the port of Cassis.
The skipper chooses the best route depending on the weather: forecasts are followed on Météo-France marine, and if the mistral blows he suggests a more sheltered drop-off point.
On board
The sea transfer boat
The sea transfer takes place on board our RIBs, the Medline III and the Nzo 760: a V-shaped hull that handles the sea well, benches that convert into sunbeds, a swim ladder and a professional skipper from start to finish. Fast and comfortable, they drop you as close as possible, even in small ports.
- Professional skipper on board
- Adult and children’s life jackets
- From 1 to 10 people
- Cabin luggage accepted
- Fuel and taxes included
- Night return optional
For a more elegant arrival, for example for a wedding, the transfer can be made on a sailboat, a catamaran or a classic sailboat, on quotation. Also discover our 2 to 4-hour boat rides, at the same base price.
