Yacht charter in Marseille (France)

The impressive coastal city of Marseille is located on the southeastern coast of France on the Mediterranean Sea, around 30 kilometers northwest of Cassis and 35 kilometers southeast of Carry-le-Rouet. As the oldest city in France and its largest commercial port, Marseille is also the capital of the Provence-Alpes-Cote-d’Azur region and the second most populated city in the country. It lies on a rugged section of the coast that is dotted with small fjords and boasts a warm, sunny climate.

Inhabited by humans for more than 30,000 years, Marseille is home to a number of impressive Paleolithic cave paintings and ancient ruins, as well as a wide variety of more recent historical attractions. The old port, situated in a natural harbor, has been in use since antiquity and is still used today as a marina and loading point for chartered cruises. It also boasts a wide variety of restaurants, bars and shopping, while the newer commercial port lies to the north.
