Very comfortable tour, well prepared staff, courteous, high standard facilities, very good coverage so route, very good time for diving.
So little advice given our very bad experience with this company, we had booked for 6 people well before departure, there was also a couple of English for Sunday 03 May and there nice surprise all in front of the boat to wait and nobody🤷’♂️ which means that our failed stay, very disappointed because we were looking forward to visiting the creeks and the next holiday ended, so after several phone calls made because of course they did not answer immediately, here is the answer we had, sorry we are sorry the cruise was cancelled because not enough, no messages no email nothing!!!!! So I leave you guessing the anger and seeing my little girl sad to return disappointed, so think carefully before booking! There are many other more serious companies!
Brilliant trip, highly recommend. Well organised, friendly crew, very relaxed. Beautiful trip along the coast and around the calanques. Decent food. Well équipée boat, good spaces to sit, eat and relax. Opportunities to swim, snorkel and paddle board - although it was too cold for us to venture in but others did. Would have preferred a bit of commentary on what we were seeing but otherwise excellent.
Perfect day sightseeing the most beautiful sites. We anchored at two different beaches to swim and paddle board. The captain and crew could not have been better hosts. Food was all made fresh on the boat unlimited and delicious
Very good and recommended. One things need to improve is meeting point; share location not correct and no sign board, so it is difficult to find the place
Wonderful team, unlimited food and drinks, beautifugl sights and plenty of time to swim. Honestly just book it already you will not regret it.
Thank you so much for your amazing feedback 🌟! We’re delighted you enjoyed the atmosphere on board, the food & drinks, the swimming time and the beautiful views. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’d love to welcome you back soon for another great day at sea ⛵☀️.
Large catamaran, comfortable and comfortable. Interesting tour. Perfect food. Bathroom break in lovely place. Entry into the gully of Sormiou.
Grazie mille per la sua recensione 🌟. Siamo felici che abbia apprezzato il comfort del nostro catamarano, la qualità del cibo e la bellezza della sosta bagno a Sormiou. Speriamo di rivederla presto a bordo per nuove escursioni in mare ⛵☀️.
In general, a nice relaxed trip. The gathering point could be a bit more accurate. I spent some time to find it. And although it says English is covered, the crew spoke mostly in French. Understood French does not prefer to speak English and most of the passengers can speak French, but business is business. By the way, crew is friendly and will answer your English questions when asked
Thank you very much for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the cruise and found the crew friendly and helpful. We take note of your remark regarding the meeting point instructions and the use of English on board — our team does its best to provide information in both French and English, but we’ll work on making this clearer and easier for all our guests. We hope to welcome you again 🌊⛵
Great outing. The team was very friendly. The buffet/brunch very good and the catamaran and swims just beautiful
Merci beaucoup Eric pour votre superbe retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié le catamaran, le brunch et la baignade dans ce cadre unique. Toute l’équipe espère vous accueillir à nouveau très bientôt 🌊⛵
We had a wonderful experience on this tour! It was a beautiful boat and beautiful landscape. The boat was clean and although there were probably around 80 people on board, it did not feel crowded and there was plenty of room for everyone to relax. The coffee was good, and the pastries offered when we arrived on board were also very yummy. Brunch was great, there was a wide selection of meats and cheeses, and the smoked salmon in particular was good. The bacon was phenomenal, the potatoes were good and so were the eggs (although in our opinion they could have been better seasoned). The prosecco and rose wines they offered were really nice. Bathroom was clean, crew spoke both English and French and made announcements in both languages. Only four out of five stars, though, because we only stopped at one of the three Calanques mentioned. I’m not sure if that is because it was too windy to visit the other Calanques mentioned in the tour itinerary, but we were expecting two a stops and we only made one - but it was very lovely. The crew had paddle boards and pool noodles available for us to swim with, which was a nice touch.
Thank you very much Erienne for this detailed and wonderful review! We’re happy you enjoyed the cruise, the boat, the brunch selection and the atmosphere on board. We’re sorry the itinerary couldn’t cover all the Calanques due to weather conditions, but safety always comes first – we’re glad you still had a lovely time with the crew and activities available. We look forward to welcoming you again 🙏😍⛵
