Pleasant and without any particular difficulty, except the pontoons before the locks which are often a little limited and sometimes even lack real mooring possibilities...

Really pleasant sailing area, mostly sheltered thanks to the island of Oléron. Many points of interest to discover (Fort Boyard, Ile d'Aix, Ile d'Oléron with its small marina in Boyardville, Ile de Ré, ...). Very pleasant also to sail near other magnificent sailboats quite numerous in the bay.

When the sea is a little rough, it is rather advisable to go towards the north (the Landes beaches). The coast is less original, seen from the sea but the return will be easier....

Jonathan, was a perfect host explaining all the local conditions with the river and out to sea. We hired sea ray with 4 adults and 4 teenagers with Boulee ( ringo) and travelled on calm sea to st Jean de luz. The boat was tidy and fully operational with no issues had speedo, depth meter, sun shade, steps, pump for ringo and all safety measures. Jonathan was on the phone all the time if we needed him. No issues with finances at all with a picture being sent of the cancellation of pre authorised deposit. Many thanks Jonathan.

10/10 for Bertrand. Terrific day. He introduced us to the basin in a way we hadn’t before. Super friendly but also very discreet letting us enjoy the day as a family. We will re-book with him for sure!

Agréable et sans difficulté particulière , sauf les pontons avant les écluses qui sont souvent un peu limites et manquent même quelques fois de vraies possibilités d'amarrage ...

Zone de navigation vraiment agréable, en majeur partie abrité grâce à l'ile d'Oléron. De nombreux points d'intérêts à découvrir (Fort Boyard, Ile d'Aix, Ile d'Oléron avec notamment son petit port de plaisance à Boyardville, Ile de Ré, ...). Très agréable aussi de naviguer près d'autres magnifiques voiliers assez nombreux dans la baie.

Lorsque la mer est un peu agitée, il est plutôt conseillé d(aller vers le nords ( les plages landaises). La côte est moins originale, vue de la mer mais le retour sera plus facile....
