The Marseille tourist office lists a guided sea-kayak outing on the Cote Bleue starting from the Base nautique de la Lave, past l'Estaque in the 16th arrondissement. The listing gives a base rate from EUR 50 (about USD 57.50) for adult groups, with equipment hire and a guide included, booking obligatory and groups only, maximum 15 people. The cruising area runs from the port of l'Estaque to the Plage du Rouet at Carry-le-Rouet. A commercial listing describes a 3-hour guided tour from Port de la Lave from EUR 45. The base is at the end of the coast road beyond l'Estaque; the tourist office phone line for this activity is +33 4 91 13 89 06. The listing does not name the operator, only an Expenature photo credit, so the booking contact should confirm the operator when reserving.
