Île de Ré's waters, in practice

The Breton and Antioche straits around a low tidal island, between sandbanks and the Fier d’Ars lagoon. Wind-wise: a near-permanent westerly, gentle in summer, with harbours and approaches managed on the tide.

Departures, day-trip classics and season

Departures: the Saint-Martin-de-Ré harbour inside Vauban’s fortifications, and Ars-en-Ré at the head of its lagoon. The local classics: the Baleines lighthouse, the crossing to La Rochelle and the Pertuis Breton anchorages. High season: from June to September, the island filling up from the first fine weekends.
