Excursions in the sea and a wide range of short cruises on the Mediterranean at affordable prices. Explore Camargue, the island of Brescou and Maguelone, and the oyster beds at the Etang de Thau. You'll be amazed to see dolphins and even sperm whales! Or just enjoy the sea breeze from the bridge of a catamaran.
A dream come true:on board a catamaran! If you only have an hour, opt for a trip from Port-Camargue, the number one marina in Europe, and head for La Grande-Motte with its pyramid-shaped architecture.
Do you have a little more time to spare? Then choose a half-day fishing trip. Equipment and bait are provided, plus help for beginners… And then a return to port with your catch.
You can also choose a package with lunch or dinner at sea, a sunset trip, and perhaps even a "crazy boat party" at La Grande-Motte.
