    We had an exceptional day thanks to Malek. Incredibly kind and professional, he made our experience even more enjoyable. We had booked a small boat, but he generously offered us a larger model for the same price. The boat was perfectly maintained, and the entire team was welcoming and friendly. I recommend him 100% without hesitation!

Thank you to our skipper who showed us her little corners, her "addresses" within the Calanques park. We had a magical day, ideal, really, and we will come back to spend other days when we receive our families. See you very soon. Déborah Guillaume Tess and Vincent.

    Great boat with the badge to go to the calanques. It uses little fuel. We did: Pointe Rouge -> Riou Island -> Calanques Park -> Frioul Island -> Pointe Rouge at an average speed of 20 knots. For about 30L! ? Plenty of storage. The perfect boat for a family outing. The only thing missing was the mast for the front table. Otherwise, it's very well equipped, with a mask and snorkel included. Malek and Mehdi are super friendly and very cheerful. Thank you and see you soon.

    Translated from German

    We had a long drive to the harbor. That's why we left very early to get there on time. We could have saved ourselves that, because Malek didn't show up until 30 minutes later. But that wasn't the real problem. We only rented the boat for wakeboarding - the family had been looking forward to it for months! I emphasized that again and again in the extensive correspondence. I even mentioned it again the evening before - referring to the wind and wave forecast. He never responded to that. When the boat was handed over, I immediately saw that there was no wakeboard on board. When I asked about it, Malek suddenly appeared completely surprised and ignorant (even the word "wakeboard" had to be translated into French because he suddenly didn't understand anything anymore). After a long back and forth, his argument was that it was not permitted by law for safety reasons, and that wakeboarding was also not possible at our own risk and with no liability for him. The conditions were really difficult all day, but that's exactly why I had written intensively to him the day before. That was of course a huge disappointment for the whole family! We were able to spend a day driving around the Bay of Marseille - but we weren't able to do what we had come for. As compensation, Malek promised us a discount of EUR 30, which we accepted. Unfortunately, you can't trust his word. In the weeks that followed, I reminded him of his promise three times. But apart from various classic excuses, nothing came and I have now given up hope. In short: The boat is in very good condition and is fun, but it's better not to rely on agreements and promises.
