      All departures are from the Port of Meschers sur Gironde.


      SEA TRIP

      Duration 1h15
      Enjoy a magnificent sea trip lasting 1 hour 15 minutes, with family, friends or in a group.
      Discover the magnificent cliffs that line the coast, the troglodyte dwellings and the beaches, at very low speed.
      Then, turn around to reach the church of Talmont sur Gironde and its port depending on the water level. Then return to the port of Meschers sur Gironde. The returns are a little faster and further away, to have an overall view of the landscape.


      SENSATION

      Duration 30 min
      Enjoy the sensations such as acceleration and jumping at full speed on the waves.
      The activity is ideal for groups, families or friends, and to celebrate events such as birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties or holidays.


      Fun guaranteed!


      SUNSET

      Mortagne on Gironde
      Duration 2h
      Guided walk along the water and cliffs of Talmont sur Gironde, a short incursion into the ports of St Serin d'Usez, Les Monards then towards the port of Mortagne sur Gironde for its authentic Gironde marsh fauna and its still preserved wild state. All under the setting sun of beautiful summer nights.


      OR


      Cordouan
      Duration 2h
      Approaching the Cordouan lighthouse and its sunset. The walk consists of following the cliffs of Meschers sur Gironde, towards the St Georges de Didonne lighthouse and its beach, then sunset as close as possible to the Cordouan lighthouse.

      FISHING TRIP

      Duration 3h
      Depending on the tide coefficient (high or low), the captain and his legendary sense of smell will guide you towards the fish-filled banks of the Gironde Estuary or the ocean between Médoquine land and the Cordouan lighthouse.
      You can keep the fruit of your catch provided you respect the legal size limitations of the maritime affairs fish.

      Enjoy an exceptional coastal landscape while practicing your favorite activity!


      OUTING TO THE CORDOUAN LIGHTHOUSE

      Duration 6h
      The start of the outing will be quickly towards the Cordouan lighthouse. Descend with your feet in the water, to discover the lighthouse, provide suitable shoes (old sneakers).
      The captain will guide you to the lighthouse for the visit. Tickets are to be purchased at the lighthouse (bring change).


      For safety reasons, we recommend this tour to people in good physical condition. Indeed, there is a 30 to 45 minute walk to the foot of the lighthouse, 300 steps to reach the top of the lighthouse (the lantern), then a 30 to 45 minute walk back to the boat.
      The return to the port of Meschers sur Gironde will be done slowly from the Auture well (Saint-Palais), all with commentary.

    We chose the half hour formula, for a first time with the children. The ride was great, the captain was very, very nice, it's nice to see people who love what they do.... The welcome was also perfect. Really the human is there, thank you for this good time we will come back for a longer walk
