The fleet out of La Rochelle

Fast day boats and 15-25 metre flybridges dominate the day charter. Departure: the Minimes marina, one of the largest in Europe, and the Vieux-Port between its two medieval towers, briefing aboard, then whichever heading the day calls for: Saint-Martin-de-Ré, little car-free Île d’Aix, Fort Boyard and Boyardville on Oléron.

The lunch anchorage

The high point of the day — the skipper picks it that very morning, sea state depending, on the Pertuis d’Antioche, semi-sheltered water between Ré, Aix and Oléron — one of the richest sailing basins on the Atlantic.

How it works

Rather than juggling four tabs, run one search: the catalogues of Boataround, SamBoat, Click&Boat and GlobeSailor are queried in parallel and the boats in La Rochelle ranked at the price actually displayed. You then book directly with the operator, at no extra cost. To understand how the platforms differ, here is our comparison.
