But who is Coco ?

Coco is an original and typical Marseillan Pointu or barquette. She was born in 1969 in Carqueiranne. Her unique and celebrated shape resembles a rowing boat with a long post at the stern. Renamed in 2018, Coco was formerly known as Scorpion. She was previously owned by the association Boudmer where she first met current owner.

The Barquette: A Marseillian Symbol

The Marseillian barquette is part of a wider Mediterranean boat family. The provencal name Barquette, is derived from Italian Barqueto, meaning ‘ship craft’. Present in Marseille since the 18th Century, it was first invented by marine carpenters. Now a historic symbol of Marseilles maritime’ life and considered the pride of Marsillian shipyards

Testimonials

I really had a great time during this sailing trip with Fanny. Between learning and relaxing in the warm winter sun, the pace is perfect and smiles are everywhere. We ran out of wind this time, but I can't wait to go back to pass my level 2! 🙂

On the occasion of a friend's birthday, Coco took us from the Old Port of Marseille to the Auffes valley before leaving to tour the Château d'If. I have very good memories of this stay in Marseille where I even managed to take the helm!

Great sailing trip in the harbor of Marseille with Coco. Great sun, good vibes on board, captain Fanny hunky-dory for her passengers and impeccable navigation! A nice moment with a holiday taste that we will gladly repeat!

Great outing at sea for the America Cup in the harbor of Marseille. We left the Old Port to see these impressive racing monsters as close as possible to their route. I have very good memories of this stay in Marseille thanks to Coco!

Superb weather and relaxing atmosphere perfect for a day of sailing with friends on board a charming boat. Thanks to our captain Fanny we were able to enjoy a visit to Frioul's Island and the turquoise blue of its creeks where we took an aperitif, dives to say hello to the fishs and other locals, and did a little by the water ... Excellent time! We were even able to learn a little to navigate. We highly recommend!
