Superbe expérience skipper au top, nous nous sommes senti en sécurité et les moments de baignade pour découvrir tortues et poissons très bien choisis. Encore merci pour ce beau moment. Eric et Anita (Haute Normandie).
The experience
Discover the Saintes archipelago in a small group aboard a sailing catamaran in the company of Arnaud, a state-certified sailing instructor. He’ll take you from Terre de Haut to Îlet Cabrit, passing by Pain de Sucre on the way, and will let you help steer the boat to show you the joys of sailing.
The trip takes place on an 8-metre Corneel 26-type sports catamaran. It’s a fast boat that’s great fun to sail, as you’ll discover during Arnaud’s short lessons. The boat also has a large platform at the stern with a trampoline, perfect for soaking up the sun and having even more fun. On the morning tour, you’ll enjoy a total of 3 hours out at sea, starting with a snorkelling stop along the cliff at Terre de Bas to see the turtles. On the way back, you’ll stop at the famous Pain de Sucre to admire the beauty of this iconic spot in the Saintes archipelago. During the trip, you can enjoy some refreshments served on board whilst taking in the beauty of the Saintes. In the afternoon, a 2-hour tour is on the programme. You’ll also head to Terre de Bas to see the turtles and will pass by the Pain de Sucre on the way back, but without stopping there.
