Activity description

Discover one of the most emblematic sites in the Vendée from the sea on this boat tour to Fort Boyard from La Tranche-sur-Mer!

Famous for the television programme filmed there, Fort Boyard is a must-see in Charente-Maritime. Generally visited from La Rochelle, it is also possible to get to Fort Boyard by boat from La Tranche-sur-Mer in the Vendée! Along the way, you will pass under the impressive bridge of the Ile de Ré and enjoy views over La Rochelle, as well as the islands of Oléron and Aix: you will discover most of the sites not to be missed in Charente-Maritime!

The half-day boat tour to Fort Boyard from La Tranche-sur-Mer will give you a full guided tour of the fort, as well as a visit to Bouchot mussel farms and a trip along the coast of the Ile de Ré, via La Flotte and Saint-Martin-de-Ré. And if you opt for the full day, you will also sail around the Ile d'Aix and its beaches, then stop off for 2 hours in Saint-Martin-de-Ré for lunch (at your own expense)!

Aboard a 300 hp RIB boat with 12 seats, this boat tour to Fort Boyard from La Tranche-sur-Mer will be a superb getaway, both friendly and full of discoveries alongside a passionate skipper!
