A friendly and fun crew who looked after us very well. The trip was well commentated, in English and in French and we learned a lot about the boat, the port if Marseille and the beautiful calanques and provençal coastline. We had an excellent lunch and on the way back the crew were able to hoist all six sails, with the help of some guests. We all had a great time. We had no problems and we would highly recommend this experience. Thank you to the Captain and crew.
