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.
