Calanque d'En-Vau boat tour

The Calanques from Marseille to Cassis

Calanques boat tour: Calanque d'En Vau
Can be adapted according to weather and swimming conditions
Info: the catamaran tour is slightly shorter
Secret paradisiacal spots await you!
It is undoubtedly the most beautiful tour in the Calanques when conditions are right, but it is so steep-walled that the time of day when the sun makes its seabed shine is very short, especially in the late morning...

The Calanque belongs to the municipality of Marseille even though it is geographically closer to Cassis.

The particularity of En-Vau is its steep cliffs that plunge into this calanque which is as narrow as it is deep.

Lush vegetation lines the walls of the calanque.

Frequently Asked Questions

Accessing En-Vau on foot requires a strenuous hike of over an hour, often under a blazing sun. By boat, you skip the physical effort and the heat to focus solely on the wonder: you discover towering cliffs over 100 meters high with a monumental perspective that only the open sea can offer, all while enjoying comfort and the sea breeze.

No, swimming is now prohibited in En-Vau for passengers of pleasure craft to protect the seabed and manage visitor flow. But rest assured: our skippers know nearby coves that are just as crystal-clear and where swimming is permitted; we will drop anchor there so you can dive in total serenity right after admiring En-Vau.

We enter the channel to offer you a unique visual spectacle, but we do not approach the beach itself. Boat tours there are strictly regulated for swimmer safety and site preservation. Our skippers position the boat to give you the best panoramic view of the white sand while remaining within authorized navigation zones.

The most spectacular angle is at the entrance of the Calanque, where the two cliff faces meet to frame the beach in the distance. Our skippers know the sun's path perfectly: they stabilize the vessel so you can capture the glow of the white cliffs reflecting in the emerald waters (mornings only)—a shot that is impossible to take from the ridge trails.
