Water sports services Marseille

Kayak & Canoe Hire

Our kayak fleet includes single-seat touring models, tandem recreational kayaks, and high-performance sea kayaks suited to coastal exploration along the Calanques. All vessels come equipped with paddles, adjustable foot pegs, spray skirts if required, and buoyancy aids. We offer both sit-on-top and sit-inside options to match weather conditions and client preferences. Each kayak is fitted with a waterproof storage hatch for personal items. Rental periods range from two hours to full-week expeditions, with optional route maps, GPS devices, and waterproof bags available as add-ons. Our staff provides a thorough launch briefing covering paddle technique, self-rescue basics, and local navigation rules to ensure every paddler departs with confidence and capability.

Stand-Up Paddleboard Rental

Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) is one of the most accessible and exhilarating ways to explore calm Mediterranean waters. Our SUP fleet features boards in various lengths and widths to accommodate all sizes and ability levels — from wide, stable beginner boards to narrower race-style models for experienced paddlers. Each rental includes a carbon or fibreglass paddle adjusted to height, a leash, and a personal flotation device. We also offer inflatable SUP options for clients who prefer lighter, more portable setups. Introductory group SUP classes run three times daily during peak season and can be added to any rental booking. Advanced paddlers can join our guided SUP sunrise tours along the Calanques for an unforgettable dawn experience on the water.

Windsurfing Equipment Hire

Marseille's legendary Mistral winds make it one of Europe's premier windsurfing destinations, and our hire centre is fully equipped to match. We stock a wide range of boards — from wide freeride models ideal for learners to high-wind slalom and wave boards for experienced sailors. Sail sizes from 4.0 m² to 8.5 m² cover every wind condition, and our rigs are tuned and rigged fresh each morning. Harnesses, booms, masts, and wetsuits are included in our full-kit packages. Optional rigging assistance from our instructors is available for those less familiar with gear setup. Windsurfing instruction packages for beginners include equipment, coaching, and a theory session covering wind awareness, board balance, and water rules — a complete introduction to the sport.

Snorkeling & Diving Gear Sets

Explore Marseille's vibrant underwater world with our complete snorkeling and freediving equipment packages. Rental sets include high-clarity tempered-glass masks, dry-top snorkels, fin sizes from children's to extra-large adult, and optional 3mm shorty wetsuits for cooler months. All equipment is sanitised with approved solutions between each use and stored in UV-treated compartments. We stock full-face snorkel masks for clients who prefer a wider field of vision, and prescription lens inserts can be requested for those with corrective eyewear. Guided snorkel sessions with a certified marine biologist lead guests to the richest biodiversity hotspots in the Calanques Marine Park, making each dive an educational as well as recreational experience for the whole family.

Group & Corporate Packages

We specialise in designing bespoke water sports experiences for corporate team-building days, school trips, holiday camps, and private celebrations. Group packages can combine multiple activities — a morning kayak tour followed by an afternoon SUP race, for example — and are priced to reflect scale and duration. A dedicated coordinator manages logistics, equipment allocation, safety briefings, and on-water supervision throughout the event. We can accommodate groups of 6 to 60+ participants and provide customised itineraries, catering liaison, and photographic documentation upon request. Certified first-aid personnel are present at all group events. Companies interested in branded experiences — branded rash guards, personalised safety briefings, and private launch zones — can discuss tailored packages with our events team directly.

Guided Coastal Expeditions

For clients who wish to go beyond the shoreline, our guided coastal expeditions offer half-day and full-day journeys through the breathtaking Calanques National Park by kayak or SUP. Led by certified local guides with in-depth knowledge of the region's ecology, geology, and maritime history, these tours reveal hidden coves, sea caves, and snorkeling spots inaccessible to larger vessels. All equipment, safety briefing, waterproof snacks and water, and emergency communication devices are included. Groups are capped at ten participants to ensure a personal, unhurried experience. Departures vary with tide and wind conditions for maximum safety and scenic value, and guides adapt the route dynamically to optimise every adventure. A printed route map and digital photo album are delivered to participants after each expedition.
