Imagine... no annoying noise, no pollution : only the gentle sound of the waves on the bow, coming to sweeten the sound of nature. Solis is a simple pleasure to navigate.

On board everyone enjoys the sea in different ways, in the sun or in the cabin, chatting or quietly taking in the views. Her regular pace allows you to admire some of the most beautiful calanques on the coast and is perfect for swimming from.

The cruise with the solar powered boat is verry peaceful, so quiet. There is no noise at all, it is really impressive. The cruise is almost the same than the one of a sailing boat. The solar boat rental can be done for a group from Marseille, up to 11 pers, but you can also book on the individual way and you will join another personns for the cruise. The cruise is 11 km/h wich allows to visit a lot of places. The rental of the solar powered boat is always with skipper.
The skipper is included in the boat rental, he will show you the most beautiful places in the Calanques. He is the one you can rely on to spend a wonderful moment and a magical cruise, he will explain you some historical and geographical specificities about Calanques.
The solar boat rental always starts from Marseille Pointe Rouge. This places is closer from Calanques and then it is a shorter cruise to get there.
