La Rochelle: Sailing Cruise

Step aboard a historic sailing vessel in La Rochelle, France, and embark on a memorable cruise along the scenic bay. Your journey begins at the Kapalouest pontoon, right in front of the old port, where the crew welcomes you and provides a brief safety introduction.

As you glide through the channel, take in iconic sights such as the Richelieu tower and the striking Bout du Monde lighthouse. Once the sails are unfurled and the engines are silenced, immerse yourself in the tranquil ambiance of the open water.

The experienced crew shares fascinating stories about La Rochelle’s maritime heritage and the local environment, offering a unique glimpse into the nautical lifestyle. Feel free to ask questions and engage with the crew as you enjoy the fresh sea air.

The Columbus, your vessel for the day, boasts a rich history, having competed in the Vendée Globe and later serving environmental missions. Today, it offers guests an authentic sailing experience while raising awareness about marine conservation.

After three hours of peaceful cruising, you’ll return to the dock, passing between the city’s iconic towers. Spaces are limited, so secure your spot now for an unforgettable adventure on the waters of La Rochelle.
