Sail from Marseille aboard Le Don du Vent, a historic yacht with a friendly French and English-speaking crew. Enjoy coffee and navettes, then cruise toward Sormiou, Morgiou, Sugiton, or La Côte Bleue. Swim, snorkel, and eat a generous chef-prepared buffet with organic white wine and rosé.

“Excellent day on the boat. The crew was extremely professional, kind, and funny! Delicious food and wine, great swimming and views. Nice balance of shade and sun on the boat, with comfy bean bags for lounging. We cut the engine and sailed when the wind cooperated, which was really special. It’s a spectacular and historic boat, too. Overall, super!”
