RIB rental in Saint-Jean-de-Luz

In Saint-Jean-de-Luz, the RIB is the boat for ambitious plans: quick to leave, quick to anchor, quick to get home.

Opening the throttle out of Saint-Jean-de-Luz

A RIB puts the Socoa fort, the Basque corniche towards Hendaye, and Guéthary and the surf coast to the north within day-trip range. Usual departure points: the Saint-Jean-de-Luz–Ciboure harbour, among the Basque houses.

Today's weather, today's plan

To factor in on these waters: ocean breezes inside the bay, the exit demanding respect for the Bay of Biscay swell. Shape the route around the morning forecast and keep a fuel margin.
