Set sail from Marseille for an unforgettable day's cruising on board an old sailing ship that have been awarded the Bateau d'Intérêt Patrimonial label!
Aboard the Don du Vent for a sailing cruise in Marseille's calanques, you'll discover one of the city's 50 exceptional sites. Built in the 1940s, the Don du Vent is now classified as a Boat of Heritage Interest and is historically linked to the city of Marseille.
Like Don du Vent, you can also discover and set sail aboard her little sister: Eleanor Mary. This exceptional rig was born of the passion of an English sailor, David Darbyshire, for pilot cutters... so much so that in 1998 he had an exact replica built of the most famous of them (Marguerite T, built in 1893), now christened Eleanor Mary. Since she was built, this exceptional yacht has proved time and again the nobility of her traditional English construction, and crossed the Atlantic Ocean several times. So treading on the wooden deck of Eleanor Mary is like stepping back in time, for the duration of a sailing cruise in the calanques, departing from Marseille... an uncommon experience, wouldn't you agree?
