Aboard this sporty catamaran, you’ll enjoy a dynamic sailing experience, close to the water, with the chance to help with maneuvers depending on your preferences and the conditions of the day.
Accompanied by a professional skipper, you’ll sail across the Arcachon Basin in a unique natural setting, amid sandbars, oyster farming landscapes, and views of the Dune du Pilat. An ideal outing for a different kind of sailing experience—more athletic than a traditional cruise, yet still accessible to beginners.
