Building the route out of La Rochelle
Leave the harbour — the Minimes marina, one of the largest in Europe, and the Vieux-Port between its two medieval towers — then string the anchorages together: Saint-Martin-de-Ré, little car-free Île d’Aix, Fort Boyard and Boyardville on Oléron. The local rule: run the exposed leg in the morning, come home in shelter.
Reading the water
Prevailing westerlies, dependable summer thermals and strait currents that matter as much as the wind. A RIB shrugs off the chop better than its crew does: adjust speed and trim.

You then book directly with the operator, at no extra cost. To understand how the platforms differ, here is our comparison.
