Les avis sur Bruine Beer

Morning escape in the Calanques

From 9 am to 12 pm, departing from the Vieux-Port
The sun is still gentle, the sea barely rippled. Bruine Beer leaves the Vieux-Port at 9 am and sets course for the Frioul archipelago. The captain chooses the cove according to the weather and the crowds, for your greatest enjoyment.

A swimming and snorkeling break unfolds in a cove chosen for its calm. Masks and snorkels are available on board. A few meters are all it takes to spot the rocky seabed, fish and posidonia meadows.
The crew will also introduce you to traditional sailing. Holding the helm, trimming a sail, feeling the wind at work: an experience in its own right, even for beginners.

On board, tea and coffee await you at departure.

Afternoon trip at sea

From 1 pm to 5 pm, departing from the Vieux-Port
Bruine Beer sets sail for the Frioul or the Côte Bleue, depending on the day's conditions. The captain knows all the spots: the secluded coves, the quiet anchorages, the clearest waters.

Swimming, snorkeling, lounging on deck - everyone finds their own rhythm. The more curious can take part in the maneuvers with the crew. Others simply enjoy the scenery, the silence, the afternoon light on the limestone cliffs.

Juice or lemonade served on board to prolong the moment.
