About the experience

Let yourself be carried away by the golden evening light for an unforgettable interlude on the Bay.

As the shores turn pink, calm returns to the water: it's the perfect time for an aperitif by the water.

Settle comfortably on board, drink in hand, and enjoy the most beautiful natural spectacle the Bay has to offer.

The cruise begins from Arcachon, along its elegant waterfront with its iconic jetties and Belle Époque villas. Then, head to Bird Island, a haven of nature in the heart of the Bay.

Depending on the tide, we will anchor near the famous cabanes tchanquées or a secluded sandbar. Time stands still while you enjoy an aperitif, either with your feet in the water or from the deck of the boat.

On the way back, the sun slowly sets, offering an unforgettable palette of colors on the horizon.

This tour is perfect for experiencing a moment away from the crowds, an intimate and contemplative experience, ideal for marking a special occasion or simply enjoying the end of the day.

The setting is exceptional, the light unique, and the pace soothing. It's an experience that combines charm, simplicity, and raw beauty.

Add a gourmet touch to your outing with our à la carte extras (to be ordered in advance):
– 6 oysters: €13
– 12 oysters: €21
– Charcuterie or cheese platter: €12/person
– Seafood platter (from): €42
– Bottle of wine: €18
– Bottle of champagne: €35

    A lovely morning trip on the Arcachon Bay with a very friendly skipper who puts you at ease right away! For our first boat trip, my children and I loved it. Christophe kindly answers the children's questions, is concerned about the safety of his passengers, and is inexhaustible about the Bay, which he knows like the back of his hand. A wonderful experience. Julie, Adam, and Joan

    Christophe was an excellent captain, with vast knowledge of the Arcachon basin area and it's history. He gave us a guided tour in English around the basin as he told us many facts about the local buildings and natural landscape. The boat was beautiful and well equipped, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time on board, as well as off the boat when Christophe stopped to allow us to swim for a while in the shallow warm water. I highly recommend everyone to take the tour with Christophe, it was excellent value for money and he is a very friendly and pleasant captain. Thank you Christophe

    We are a family of seven and spent an afternoon on the basin with Christophe on his boat. We took a walk to the Tchanquées cabins, then followed the coast to Cap-Ferret via Bird Island, and ended with a swim on the Banc d'Arguin. Christophe is super nice. He shared his love of the basin with us by showing us historical places and telling us local anecdotes. It was really great. We were super comfortable on his boat and had a great afternoon. I highly recommend this trip. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
