4.Sunset Boat Cruise with Rosé Wine & Snacks

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 244 reviews · 3 hours · from $93

Spend three hours on a semi-rigid boat from the Mucem, sailing past Château d’If and Vallon des Auffes before swimming near Frioul. Rosé, snacks, masks, a fresh-water rinse, and guides such as Victor, Oualid, and Thomas are included.

“I highly recommend this tour! Our Captain was extraordinary, he was helpful by carrying me onto the boat as a person with a disability. He made a few stops for people to go swimming, stopped at a port for a 30 minute break if you wanted to grab food or drinks and then took us the perfect view of the sunset later on. It does get a little chilly so make sure to bring a light sweater! Thank you for a wonderful experience! This was the highlight of our trip in Marseille!”
