Description
Come and experience 3 incredible days of sailing and climbing in the mythical Calanques of Marseille and Cassis.
Departing from the port of l'Estaque in Marseille (where you can leave your car), we will embark on three days that are both intense and relaxing. While we are sailing, you will be able to admire the breathtaking scenery of the Calanques as it unfolds before us, while learning navigation techniques.
Climbing will be done for the day on the magnificent crags of En Vau. Here, you will learn and/or revisit certain climbing techniques, using a gentle, caring approach.
These adventures are enhanced by occasional swimming and convivial meals.
We will spend the nights on the boat, anchoring in Port Miou calanque near Cassis.
About the boat: Marie Lutin II is a 13-meter ketch (2 masts). An ocean-going and expedition sailboat, it will surprise you with its comfort both at sea and at anchor in the creeks. Its numerous stowage spaces, spacious cabins and central saloon make it an ideal base camp for sharing and relaxing after the day's activities. 3 double cabins are available on board, as well as a fully equipped galley and shower room. Snorkeling equipment is available on board. The flush-deck offers plenty of seating to enjoy the scenery and the navigation.
You are in for three days you won't soon forget!
On the same boat, I also offer a multi-pitch climbing and sailing holiday in the Calanques. But also 3-day or 4-day climbing courses in the Drôme of Provence and climbing and acroyoga in the Baronnies for a weekend or a 4-day course.
