Departing from the port of Le Brusc in Six-Fours-les-Plages, Cat Explorer sails around the Embiez archipelago aboard MANUA, a sailing catamaran built in 2024. The crew hold merchant navy qualifications and the vessel operates under passenger transport regulations.
Half-day, full day or sunset?
In 2026, the morning trip lasts 3 hours, the afternoon trip 4 hours, and the full-day outing runs from 10:00 to 17:00. A sunset option lasts around 3 hours and includes an aperitif featuring local products and a tasting.
How many people are on board?
The catamaran accommodates up to 26 passengers. This makes it a more group-oriented outing than smaller vessels with 10 to 12 places, while remaining focused on sailing and anchorages around Le Brusc and the Embiez islands.
Good to know before visiting
Cat Explorer asks passengers to arrive 15 minutes before the time shown on their ticket. If the operator cancels for technical or weather-related reasons, a refund or exchange may be offered.
Where can you park?
The operator recommends the Gardiole car park, which is free, as well as the Port car park. For the full-day outing, bring food and water; sun cream and a towel are also recommended.
The extra highlight is the boat itself: MANUA is a recent catamaran designed specifically to carry passengers, with a locally born captain who chooses anchorages based on his knowledge of the coastline.
