Program & Itinerary
Unwind on a captivating 3-hour private cruise through Arcachon Bay aboard a timeless Pinasse boat. Handcrafted from wood, these historic vessels have been traversing the bay's waters since the 16th century, originally used by local fishermen.
Your extended adventure unlocks a treasure trove of natural wonders and cultural gems. Glide past thriving oyster farms, where generations of expertise have cultivated these prized delicacies. Learn about the intricate process of oyster farming and savor the option to indulge in a fresh tasting onboard (not included).
As you delve deeper into the bay, prepare to be mesmerized by the Île aux Oiseaux (Bird Island), a sanctuary teeming with diverse bird life. This picturesque island boasts the iconic "cabanes tchanquées", colorful stilt houses that are synonymous with Arcachon Bay. Imagine strolling along the island's shore, the crisp ocean air invigorating your senses as you marvel at the panoramic vistas.
With three hours at your disposal, the possibilities for exploration are endless. Your knowledgeable Arcachon sailor-guide will craft a personalized itinerary based on your interests. Perhaps you'd like to spend more time photographing the island's unique charm, or delve into the fascinating history of the bay's oyster production. You could even enjoy a relaxing swim in a secluded cove, depending on the tides (weather permitting).
This exclusive three-hour excursion caters perfectly to couples, families, or small groups. Whether you seek a romantic escape, an unforgettable family adventure, or a chance to reconnect with friends, a private Pinasse tour offers a truly immersive experience. So, set sail on a voyage of discovery and create memories that will last a lifetime against the stunning backdrop of Arcachon Bay.
