A single day's range

At 20-25 knots, the UNESCO-listed Cordouan lighthouse, the Meschers coves and the Pointe de Grave across the water fit into one day — that is the whole point of the format. Boarding: the Royan marina, at the heart of the resort.

Fuel and safety margin

Fuel burn rides on the throttle: on these waters, prevailing westerlies and above all powerful estuary currents that set the timetable, and a homeward leg into the wind burns more — keep a third of the tank for the end of the day.
