Absolutely. Our skippers are passionate experts in Marseille's heritage; they will share fascinating stories of Sormiou with you, from the traditional lifestyle in the 'cabanons' to the incredible Capelan cave located nearby. They will explain how this Calanque, the birthplace of Marseille yachting, has preserved its authenticity without electricity or running water. You will also discover the secrets of local biodiversity and anecdotes about film shoots that have immortalized this postcard-perfect setting.
Yes, it's one of the highlights of the excursion! We drop anchor in the authorized mooring area, allowing you to dive directly from the boat into the turquoise waters of Sormiou while enjoying a preserved setting and a breathtaking view of this natural cirque.
Access by car is the most economical but very restricted: the road is closed during the day in high season (April-September), except for residents or restaurant guests with reservations. The boat offers a premium, effortless experience via rentals or excursions departing from the Vieux-Port or Pointe Rouge. By car, you enjoy the spectacular view from the pass, while by boat, you discover sea caves inaccessible on foot.
Please note: land access is subject to fire risk (check the 'Mes Calanques' app), while sea access depends on wind strength.
Yes, this is an exclusive feature of our navigation! Thanks to the optimized draft of our vessels and the expertise of our skippers, we go as close as possible, right into the small port of Sormiou, to offer you an unobstructed view of the famous 'cabanons'. You will be able to admire this typically Marseille lifestyle from the boat, nestled in the heart of the Calanque, while listening to our stories about how this small, timeless community is organized.
