Les Barquettes

Les Barquettes is a Marseille-based boating company offering sea excursions and boat hire with a skipper. Its trips take guests through the waters of the Calanques National Park aboard traditional Marseille boats, combining time at sea with the character of the region’s maritime heritage. The company’s fleet features carefully renovated and maintained vessels designed for distinctive outings on the Mediterranean.

Guests can choose Vincent, a traditional Marseille barquette built in 1972, which accommodates up to eight people, or La Flaneuse, a replica of a 1903 tartane with space for up to 30. These boats are available for excursions and private bookings, making the service suitable for smaller groups or larger gatherings. Les Barquettes also offers ticket booking and information for visitors planning their experience, and lists shooting and filming among its services.

Located at Esplanade du J4 in Marseille, the company operates every day throughout the year. Visitors can contact Les Barquettes by phone or email, or follow its updates through social media.
