Stopovers: swimming snorkelling paddle
Boarding at 7:20 a.m. in calm seas, welcome with coffee and local juice. The sail will propel us for our first stage towards the coral reef at a wreck full of multicolored fish for a snorkeling stage!
Afterwards we will slip into Sailing⛵️to sail towards the islets of la Biche. Magical moment for an aperitif and juice, protected from the prevailing winds by small mangrove trees: you can eat your meal there and practice snorkeling and paddleboarding before returning at 4 p.m. to the boarding point.

Detailed itinerary

Eco mode sailing time is our ally. Passing near Îlet Caret, we keep our distance: the Islet benefits from a revegetation and protection program. Then navigate to a wreck rich in a diverse ecosystem and accessible by swimming. 30’ stopover. Then we pause time again for a smooth sailing navigation through the shallows of the lagoon to a magical destination near small isolated mangrove islets, the vanguard of the mangrove in the middle of the lagoon. Swimming, snorkelling or paddle on the program between navigations. After a tasting of homemade juice and a tasty local vegetarian meal, the return is always by sail, a great opportunity to participate and develop your maritime culture. In the end, a day based on conviviality, simplicity and sharing on a comfortable and efficient open sailboat, all in a magical lagoon which will undoubtedly deliver its many treasures to you.

Exclusive sailing, I develop ecological, eco-responsible and sustainable tourism: no anchor in the lagoon, sail and solar energy, no discharge of any kind: the portable toilet tank empties into the network and not into the 'environment. Furthermore, I strongly recommend wearing a t-shirt or Lycra in the water so as not to impact the environment with sunscreen residue. I can exceptionally lend masks and lycras if you have forgotten them. Stopover near a wreck accessible by swimming. Multicolored coral fish

Stopover at Ilets de la biche. Made up of young mangrove trees, they protect us from the prevailing winds. At the heart of the lagoon ecosystems, our ecological approach reinforces the magic of this place where you can go snorkelling and paddleboarding,
