The Estuary of Gironde, the biggest estuary of Europe, is also an unequalled and favoured site.

Welcome on board our new high-speed motorboat of walk at sea equipped with a living room with panoramic bridge, a higher bridge and a bar, for a Large Turn of the original Estuary.

On the mouth, come to discover the Cordouan lighthouse : architectural wonder, Cordouan was built during the 14th century. The oldest lighthouse in Europe is also called "The Kings'Lighthouse". Our company offers you to visit this building at certain hours of ebbtide.

On left shore, you will discover the little typical harbour of Port Bloc, the new Marina of Port Médoc, the Trade Port, before crossing to Talmont, fortified village, and it Romanesque church hanging over sea.

On right shore, when going back to Royan, you will run along Meschers'cliffs and its troglodytic houses : people can see them entirely only from a boat. When sailing to Pontaillac, Saint-Palais and the Pont du Diable (Devil's Bridge), you will enjoy an impregnable view on Saint Georges'bay and Royan's bay and on houses dating from the French period Belle Epoque and on the picturesque square dipping nets.
