This experience, in a nutshell
Always attentive to the desires, rhythm and limits of each person, we offer you a coastal cruise program that is as suitable for beginners as for improvement, during which we will approach a different port each evening to spend the night.
The duration of the stages varies depending on the weather and the distance to be covered.
Departing from the old port of La Rochelle, the course will begin with a day of discovery and contact with the boat and the other members of the group on a sheltered body of water. It will continue with stages to the Ile d'Yeu (depending on the weather) during which you will learn about safety, boat manoeuvres, sail trimming, weather, marking, mapping, tide calculations, determining the current, spotting when arriving at night (depending on the weather), managing life on board, etc. This week will end in La Rochelle on Saturday afternoon, after tidying up and cleaning the boat.
