Ocean Cruise Catamaran sea trips in La Rochelle

OCEAN CRUISE LA ROCHELLE – PRIVATE CRUISES IN CHARENTE-MARITIME

A motor catamaran departing from the port of Minimes

Located in La Rochelle, on the Atlantic coast, Ocean Cruise offers sea trips aboard the Eugénie motor catamaran. This comfortable boat, homeported on Ponton 36 in the Port des Minimes, is available for small group outings, exclusively private. The establishment is aimed at families, groups of friends or colleagues looking for a maritime activity in a safe and friendly environment.

The catamaran can accommodate up to 12 people on board, but to ensure optimal comfort, the recommended capacity is 8 passengers maximum for sea trips. All services include the presence of an experienced skipper, fuel, as well as the loan of nautical equipment, including paddles and bodyboards during the summer.

Formulas adaptable to all rhythms

The offer proposed by Ocean Cruise La Rochelle is available in several formats: one-hour cruise, half-day, full day, or even sunset trip. Prices are set per service, regardless of the number of participants, within the authorized limit. The approach is intended to be simple and accessible: the objective is to enjoy a peaceful navigation, with the possibility of personalizing the getaway according to desires (meals, drinks, times).

Ocean Cruise also offers dockside activities such as private afterworks, including wine or champagne tasting, for a relaxing moment in a port setting. A maritime treasure hunt is also on the program, ideal for a bachelorette party, stag party, or a family outing with children.

A company born from a maritime journey

Behind this project is a former member of the French Navy who chose to turn his passion for the sea into an entrepreneurial venture. After 28 years of service, he decided to create his own company to offer personalized nautical excursions departing from La Rochelle. Inspired by his visit to the Grand Pavois in 2022, he has permanently dropped anchor on the Charente coast.

The regulatory framework is respected: navigation remains less than 6 nautical miles from the port and less than 2 miles from a shelter, guaranteeing the safety of each outing. The catamaran is moored in a strategic location, close to the harbor master's office and port amenities.
