Catamaran charter in Saint-Jean-de-Luz

A catamaran turns a rental in Saint-Jean-de-Luz into a floating holiday home — galley, trampolines, aft platform.

These waters from a catamaran

The cruising grounds — the Saint-Jean-de-Luz bay, closed by its three breakwaters, a historic shelter on a swell-beaten coast — suit a catamaran's shallow draught: anchoring right off the beaches, bound for the Socoa fort, the Basque corniche towards Hendaye, and Guéthary and the surf coast to the north.

The catamaran season in Saint-Jean-de-Luz

The catamaran season runs from June to September, bluefin tuna and pelota setting the quayside rhythm; the day's anchorage, meanwhile, is picked off the morning forecast.
