Set out from Port du Brusc aboard Atika, a purpose‑built 15‑metre catamaran, for a three‑hour private half‑day that slips into a sheltered cove to explore one of the region’s top snorkeling spots with a certified guide. The outing balances guided sea time — snorkeling or a paddle workshop of your choice — with relaxed moments on deck, cold drinks and Provençal specialties served after the activity.

THE VESSEL

Atika — a 15 m ocean‑going catamaran

Atika was designed as a grand‑voyage catamaran and measures 15 m by 7.80 m. The boat is fitted for comfort at sea: toilets, hot deck showers, an equipped galley and cabins, shaded dining, sofas, a forward net, swim ladders and a barbecue. The vessel can welcome up to 12 guests in addition to the crew.

THE WATER

Sheltered coves and one of the best regional snorkeling sites

After an initial welcome from the captain, the catamaran sails to a small, protected cove where you disembark into clear water for a guided snorkeling exploration. The guide provides safety equipment and support, including flotation aids for beginners.

THE EXPERIENCE

Tailor the outing: snorkel or paddle

When you privatize Atika you choose the activity: a guided snorkeling excursion or a paddle workshop led by a qualified instructor. After the on‑water session the crew serves a sea‑side apéritif with a cold drink and Provençal specialties before returning to port.

What the day feels like

How the half‑day feels

The rhythm is deliberate and compact: meet at the pontoon, receive a welcome from the captain, and slip out toward a sheltered bay. You spend the core of the three‑hour voyage immersed in the sea — either snorkeling with a diploma‑holding guide or participating in a paddle workshop — then return to the catamaran for a chilled apéritif and the short sail back to port.
