Eric was fantastic. He took a group of 5 of us on a half day charter out towards the Île de Re. Unfortunately there was not much wind but that did not stop us having a great day with him fishing, relaxing and enjoying a great day. Thanks Eric and we will see you again soon!

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.
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.
