Underwater Scooter Snorkelling in the Calanques of the Frioul Islands from Marseille's Old Port

Snorkeling with an underwater scooter at the Frioul Islands in Marseille offers a spectacular immersion into the heart of the Mediterranean Sea's maritime heritage. Emerging from the waters facing Marseille, the Frioul archipelago is home to dazzling white limestone coves sculpted by the mistral wind and bordered by crystal-clear bays. Dominated by the legendary silhouette of the Château d'If, a fortress built under Francis I and immortalized by Alexandre Dumas in The Count of Monte Cristo, these wild islands form a preserved natural sanctuary within the Calanques National Park.

The adventure begins aboard a comfortable rigid-inflatable boat departing from the Old Port at Anse de la Réserve. After admiring famous Marseille landmarks, sailing along the Corniche Kennedy, and passing a traditional fishing port, your experienced skipper sets a course for Frioul. Once anchored in sheltered coves like Ratonneau, L'Éoube, or Morgiret, you can dive freely with a 100% silent electric underwater scooter. This eco-friendly propellor allows you to effortlessly explore the seabed in search of octopuses, starfish, Mediterranean fish, and sometimes even dolphins offshore. On board, you can enjoy paddleboards to glide across the water, followed by a walking stop on Frioul Island to explore its picturesque streets.

This friendly excursion takes place in a small group to ensure optimal comfort and personalized attention. Accessible from age 4 for those who can swim, the activity includes all necessary equipment. The rigid-inflatable boat is equipped with a fresh-water shower, secure storage lockers for your personal belongings, a Bluetooth radio, and a swim ladder for easy re-boarding.

Available for much of the year departing from Marseille, this outing combines sightseeing navigation, refreshing swimming, and aquatic exploration. Book your underwater scooter snorkeling session at the Frioul Islands in Marseille now!
