Organising a corporate event at the Rowing Club in Marseille
On Boulevard Charles Livon, at the entrance to the Old Port and facing the Mucem, the Rowing Club brings together a rooftop, a waterside space and two meeting rooms on a single site. Enough for a full day, from the morning seminar to the evening party on the roof.
In brief

How to organise a full day at the Rowing Club?
- 9am: welcome coffee and plenary in the 120 m² room, for up to 80 people theatre-style.
- 11am: workshops in smaller groups, including one in the 60 m² room.
- 12.30pm: seated lunch in the reception room.
- Afternoon: an escape game or a quiz to re-energise the team.
- 7pm: cocktails on the rooftop at sunset, with a saxophonist then a DJ.
This format avoids any transfer: a real time saver for participants, and one less risk of delay for the organiser.
How to combine an evening at sea with the Rowing Club?
Le Tarmac, on the edge of the Anse de la Réserve cove, can be reached by boat. An idea for an evening at sea: drinks while cruising the bay from the Old Port, then disembark at Le Tarmac for dinner and the dance party. You simply need to agree the timings with the boat company and the venue, and plan a plan B on land in case of mistral.
What budget for a party at the Rowing Club?
The venue offers its own cocktail and meal packages, to be priced directly with it. As a benchmark, a cocktail reception with food in a private venue in Marseille costs €35 to €60 per person, and a complete turnkey party €65 to €130 per person.
- A DJ and a saxophonist for the rooftop.
- A photo activity with a selfie-based gallery for your guests.
- Coordination between the venue, the boat and your speakers.
