5 tours
This is the shortlist we would hand a friend flying into Paris next month: 5 sailing trips with the price, the running time and the one detail that decides it for most people.
2-hour La Rochelle sunset sail on a 16-meter catamaran, wind-only sailing, sea views, city lights. Water included, bring snacks.
“pretty nice Guys, Professional and we Had a really welcoming good time. real sailing time without engines, would do again and thinking since that, how to get a own catamaran, real freedom. Not too crowded.”
4-hour sailing cruise from La Rochelle to Fort Boyard on a 16 m catamaran, with big sea views, photo time, and crew stories.
“We had booked earlier trip at midday on previous day but this was deferred due to weather. Our trip left dock at 19.30. Conditions were choppy and seating on catamaran is meagre. Do not recall any info called out re islands we passed. Crew handled navigation with skill and good humour, keenness to say a little in English not huge though.”
Seine River dinner cruise with live singer from Port de la Rapée, 3-course meal options, and night views of Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame.
“Perfect experience on the Seine river. The staff was great and the food and drinks were excellent! My daughter is a picky eater and she even enjoyed the food.”
3 hours on a modern catamaran in the Bay of Cannes, with snorkel gear, free water, and time to swim, paddle, or relax.
“Good but other day I chose smaller boat it was way better with Celia and Eric”
Sail from Marseille to Frioul Calanques, learn sailing basics, swim and snorkel, and enjoy limestone cliffs on a small-group trip.
“The guide was very good! We really enjoyed the trip!”
