Navipromer Cruises, a family-run business since 1991…
Departing from the Old Harbour of La Rochelle, cast off to enjoy the passage between La Rochelle's two famous towers… the Tour Saint-Nicolas and the Tour de la Chaîne, symbols of the port city. Your journey continues at a leisurely pace as you sail through the channel lined by the Tour des 4 Sergents, the Minimes Marina, the Tour Richelieu, and the Phare du Bout du Monde (End of the World Lighthouse). Cross La Rochelle harbour and the Pertuis d'Antioche strait, bordered by the islands of Ré, Oléron and Aix, heading towards the legendary Fort Boyard, an imposing maritime fortress built in the heart of the ocean. You'll enjoy breathtaking views of this iconic building, made famous by the TV show. Marvel at its impressive structure, built to protect the entrance to the Charente Estuary. Throughout the boat cruise, let yourself be carried along by the sea breeze while enjoying commentary full of historical anecdotes about this fascinating region, where land meets sea. This sea cruise will offer you a moment of relaxation and discovery, with no stopovers… Duration: approximately 2 hours 10 minutes.
