Your cruise
Take a sailing weekend in La Rochelle, and come aboard with Emilie or one of her 3 colleagues to learn to sail. This course can be booked for a 2-day period.
Your possible stops during this cruise
Embark on a two-day sailing course in the Pertuis Charentais basin, an ideal area for learning and progressing. Protected by the islands of Ré, Oléron and Aix, it offers varied conditions for regular sailing and plenty of practice.
Supervised by an instructor, you'll play an active role in the navigation and handling of your sailboat: preparing for the start, helming, adjusting sails to suit your point of sail, tacking, maneuvering in port or at anchor, reading buoys, finding your bearings on a chart and learning how to calculate the tide.
The course takes place on a tour of the basin, with two days' sailing and a night in port or at anchor, depending on conditions, giving you a complete coastal sailing experience around the islands of Ré, Oléron or Aix.
You might even sail right by the mythical Fort Boyard! Find out more about the Fort Boyard region.

A big thank you to our Skipper Yann and our fellow sailors, for a great weekend of sailing! As far as I'm concerned, it was my first time on a catamaran. Many thanks to Yann for his calm, benevolence and kindness. Yann was able to share his passion with us and make sailing accessible. We were involved in every stage of this wonderful trip (preparation, navigation, etc.) and can't wait to go back and try it out with our children!
Thanks to the whole team: communication, organization and navigation were top-notch!
The boat wasn't what I expected, so I was a bit disappointed...
well
Excellent welcome: a lot of kindness, kindness and pedagogy. Thank you Marco for this beautiful ride and your many encouragements during the manoeuvres

I learned a lot in a very good atmosphere. Can't wait to come back!!
Charles was a great skipper, teacher, patient and competent.
