During the crossing, passengers can see a rich marine fauna, including dolphins, seabirds, and sometimes even whales. Each cruise is an opportunity to immerse yourself in a preserved natural setting, far from the urban hustle and bustle.

Islands to visit during the cruise

The islands visited on cruises vary depending on the season and weather conditions, but they all have a particular charm. Some islands are famous for their fine sandy beaches, ideal for a swimming stopover, while others seduce with their isolated coves and rocky landscapes. Discovering the islands also allows you to better understand the local history, marked by centuries of island life and maritime trade.

Passengers can stop on one of the islands for a short walk or simply admire the steep cliffs and typical vegetation of the region from the boat. Nature lovers will appreciate the diversity of plant species that populate these islands, as well as the serene atmosphere that reigns there.

On-board services and comfort

On board the Interîles Company boats, passengers benefit from all the comforts necessary to enjoy their excursion. Shaded areas provide protection from the sun, while open observation areas are available for those who wish to take photos or simply admire the scenery. The boats are also equipped with toilets and comfortable seats.

The tours are supervised by experienced sailors, who ensure the safety of passengers throughout the journey. In addition, some boats offer audio commentary to help visitors better understand the geography and history of the places visited. It is also possible to book private cruises for special events, such as weddings or birthdays, thus offering a tailor-made experience.

Catering and refreshment options

Some cruises offer light catering services on board, with local and seasonal products. It is thus possible to enjoy a packed lunch composed of seafood, cheeses or pastries while sailing on the water. Drinks, alcoholic or not, are also available, so that every moment of the cruise is pleasant and relaxing.

For those who prefer, it is also possible to embark with your own picnic, which allows you to personalize the experience even more.
