Your cruise

Set sail from Les Minimes Port - La Rochelle

Come aboard Fabienne's sailboat for an exceptional week-long cruise. Thanks to your professional skipper, you will live a unique experience, in complete confidence, starting from La Rochelle. Sail in a sheltered area ideal for beginners, explore the islands of Ré and Yeu, and discover the Vendée coast!

Your possible stops during this cruise

On the program of this cruise: magnificent landscapes, ideal conditions to live a rich experience on board a sailboat, and a skipper who will know how to answer your expectations. The meeting point is fixed at 9:30 am at the Old Port of La Rochelle.
You will first sail towards the North.
The first day, you will sail in the bay to moor yourself as well as possible. The objective is to get acquainted with the boat, your teammates and to get familiar with the sea environment.
Each day, you will make a stop at a different port. You will be able to make unforgettable excursions to places selected by your professional skipper. If you have any special wishes, don't hesitate to tell her about them!

You will dock in Saint-Martin-de-Ré. From this small marina, you will be able to go on an excursion to discover the lands of the island of Ré. Be careful, depending on the weather, and on certain dates, the schedule of the locks of the Port Saint-Martin de Ré does not allow you to stop there.

During the week, you will also discover Les Sables d'Olonne, the city of the Vendée Globe.

Among the stops you will make during this cruise, Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie will surely be one of them.
This town is famous for its important fishing port specialized in sardines. Plan to take a walk in the city center. You will appreciate its authenticity and conviviality.

During this week, you will dock at the island of Yeu.
This island, charming because of the diversity of its landscapes, will not leave you indifferent. A real jewel of the Atlantic, it is the most remote island of the French Atlantic coast. Rent a bike and explore the island! Skippair advises you to visit the Pointe des Corbeaux...

At the end of the cruise, you will head back to La Rochelle for a return trip around 5pm on Saturday.
