Sail into the sunset from Marseille on a traditional schooner, from EUR 80. Vegetarian dinner, rosé and a swim stop near the Frioul Islands included.
A Marseille sunset sailing cruise on a traditional wooden schooner pairs a cold vegetarian dinner and a glass of rosé with a swim stop near the Frioul Islands, all inside a roughly 3.5-hour evening out from the Mucem. Starting at EUR 80, it trades the size of a big catamaran for a smaller, quieter boat built around a seated meal rather than a buffet spread.
What Makes This Marseille Sunset Sailing Cruise Special?
Where the sunset catamaran option carries up to 80 people, this cruise runs on a traditional schooner with a genuinely different feel: slower, quieter, and built around a proper seated dinner rather than a self-serve buffet. The dinner itself, a cold vegetarian buffet made fresh that day with local, seasonal ingredients, reflects a deliberate choice to keep the menu light and sustainable rather than a heavy set meal.
Is the Sunset Dinner Cruise Worth It?
Yes, for couples and small groups who want atmosphere over capacity. At EUR 80, close to the price of the bigger catamaran option, you get a smaller boat, a proper dinner and a wild-cove swim stop, which suits a romantic evening better than a large group outing. If you'd rather have a full buffet on a bigger boat, the Sunset Catamaran Cruise is the better fit.
What Does the Sunset Dinner Cruise Include?
Your ticket covers the sailing cruise itself, the cold vegetarian buffet dinner and one glass of rosé from Provence. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so plan your own way to and from the Mucem meeting point at pier PH2.
Who Should Book This Marseille Sunset Cruise?
This suits couples, anniversaries and small groups who want a quieter, more intimate evening on the water than a big-boat buffet cruise offers. It's a weaker match for larger groups or anyone who wants more food variety than a set vegetarian menu, in which case the Sunset Catamaran Cruise is the better choice.
Prices and What's Included on the Sunset Dinner Cruise
Tickets start at EUR 80 per person, covering the sail, the dinner and the glass of rosé. Departure times shift with the season, 6pm from May through May 31 and September through October, and 7pm from June through August, so confirm your slot at booking.
Getting to the Mucem Meeting Point
Boarding takes place at the city hall pier next to the Mucem, an easy walk from most central Marseille hotels. Arrive a little before your departure time, since boarding for a sailing schooner tends to run on a tighter schedule than a larger catamaran.
Insider Tips for the Sunset Dinner Cruise
Bring a light jacket for the sail back after dark, when the evening breeze picks up over open water. Since the dinner is vegetarian by default, mention any other dietary needs when booking rather than on the day, and pack a swimsuit under your clothes for the cove swim stop before dinner.
How This Compares to Other Marseille Boat Tours
For a bigger boat with a full buffet spread and room for up to 80 guests, the Sunset Catamaran Cruise is the better fit. Travelers who want a full day rather than an evening, with lunch instead of dinner, should look at the Calanques Sailing Cruise. For a boat entirely to yourselves, compare against the Private Boat Tour with Skipper. The official Calanques National Park site has background on the Frioul Islands this cruise sails near.
