Removal
Do you want to go to the sandbank by boat to sail? Let us know the days you want to ride. We will arrange to drop you off, if we have enough room on the boat. Two stops are possible, on the sandbank, which depend on the direction of the wind.
Stop dike
10€/person (return)
- End of the dike, 20 minutes walk.
Stop Listel
- This service is non-refundable (if you return by kite, we will not give you € 20 back).
- Middle of the sandbank, inaccessible on foot. Ideal in summer for thermals, especially for foiling. 10 to 15 minutes by boat.
For those who want to go to the sandbar to navigate and benefit from minimal assistance.
- For those with their equipment and not wanting to walk 20 minutes to access the sandbank.
- For those wanting to access the middle of the sandbank in summer and in a South and East wind regime to benefit from a flat, clear body of water that is windier than at sea.
- For those who need to bring a lot of equipment to the beach to sail (3 kites, several boards, etc.)
- For those wanting to be sure they have someone to help them get into the water.
- To have a quick presentation of the spot and not requiring any assistance during their navigations.
Riders :

FAQs
Depending on the wind regime, this shuttle can save you time and energy or allow you to
simply to navigate.
- In north wind conditions, the shuttle saves you from walking a kilometer in the water with your equipment to access the sandbank where the obligatory take-off and landing zone is located.
Allow 5 minutes by boat at most, compared to 20 minutes of walking. - In South and East wind conditions, quite common in summer and at certain times of the year, our shuttle allows you to access an area inaccessible otherwise than by boat. Allow 10 to 20 minutes of boat transport.
Absolutely not. We are already quite busy in classes and supervised navigation. You pay for a transport service, in no case a teaching or supervision service. We will only help you get into the water and, if necessary, introduce you to the practice site. If you are unsure, sign up for supervised browsing.
This boat service is particularly suitable for independent foilers, in summer in thermal conditions. It will allow you to access a windier area when the wind is light. When the others stay at the edge on the beach waiting for the 15 knots necessary for their navigations, you will be on the lagoon side in our company, flying over the 14 km of sandbank.
We are currently obliged to establish an order of priority for our services because our human resources (instructor, boat pilot) and material (technical equipment; kite, bars, board) are limited. We hope to be able to remedy this in the near future. Our services in order of priority are:
- Course : This is the priority service over all others. This is our core business.
- Supervised navigations : They generally complete the “course complement”. If the differences in level in class and your needs are not too great.
- Sandbank drop-offs : If we have room in the boat we will happily drop you off on the sandbank.
