Sailboat Sunset Cruise departing from Marseille

Come aboard the Don du Vent for a sunset cruise in Marseille's calanques, and discover one of the city's 50 exceptional sites. Built in the 1940s, the Don du Vent is classified as a Bateau d'Intérêt Patrimonial and is historically linked to the city of Marseille.

Eleanor Mary is an exceptional rig, born of the passion of an English sailor, David Darbyshire, for pilot cutters... so much so that in 1998 he had the exact replica of the most famous of them (Marguerite T, built in 1893) built, now christened Eleanor Mary. This sailing ship, which has become a Marseilles landmark thanks to the time it spends at anchor in the Old Port, has been awarded the Bateau d'Intérêt Patrimonial (Heritage Interest Boat) label, making it an ideal place to spend an evening at sunset, from aboard, in Marseille's splendid calanques.

So, treading on the wood of Eleanor Mary's deck is like stepping back in time, during a sunset cruise on a sailboat in the calanques, departing from Marseille... an unusual experience, I'm sure you'll agree?

Second option: during your sunset cruise aboard the Don du Vent, enjoy a privileged view of the Palais du Pharo, Fort Saint-Jean or the Bonne Mère... the perfect opportunity to combine a relaxing moment with a sunset discovery cruise, under sail, in the park of Marseille's Calanques.
