    • INTERÎLES COMPANY: AN AUTHENTIC MARITIME ADVENTURE

      Discovery of the archipelago at sea

      The Interîles Company offers a unique maritime experience to explore the surrounding island . With a fleet adapted to sea excursions, passengers are invited to discover the seascapes of the archipelago. The spacious and comfortable boats allow you to admire the coast and the surrounding islands while enjoying the great outdoors. These cruises are accessible to a wide audience, whether families, couples or groups of friends.

      The excursions are designed to allow everyone to fully enjoy the natural spectacle of the region, without being too long or tiring. During the crossing, passengers can see a rich marine fauna, including dolphins, seabirds, and sometimes even whales. Each cruise is an opportunity to immerse yourself in a preserved natural setting, far from the urban hustle and bustle.


      Islands to visit during the cruise

      The islands visited on cruises vary depending on the season and weather conditions, but they all have a particular charm. Some islands are famous for their fine sandy beaches, ideal for a swimming stopover, while others seduce with their isolated coves and rocky landscapes. Discovering the islands also allows you to better understand the local history, marked by centuries of island life and maritime trade.

      Passengers can stop on one of the islands for a short walk or simply admire the steep cliffs and typical vegetation of the region from the boat. Nature lovers will appreciate the diversity of plant species that populate these islands, as well as the serene atmosphere that reigns there.


      On-board services and comfort

      On board the Interîles Company boats, passengers benefit from all the comforts necessary to enjoy their excursion. Shaded areas provide protection from the sun, while open observation areas are available for those who wish to take photos or simply admire the scenery. The boats are also equipped with toilets and comfortable seats.

      The tours are supervised by experienced sailors, who ensure the safety of passengers throughout the journey. In addition, some boats offer audio commentary to help visitors better understand the geography and history of the places visited. It is also possible to book private cruises for special events, such as weddings or birthdays, thus offering a tailor-made experience.


      Catering and refreshment options

      Some cruises offer light catering services on board, with local and seasonal products. It is thus possible to enjoy a packed lunch composed of seafood, cheeses or pastries while sailing on the water. Drinks, alcoholic or not, are also available, so that every moment of the cruise is pleasant and relaxing.

      For those who prefer, it is also possible to embark with your own picnic, which allows you to personalize the experience even more. In any case, the cruises are organized in such a way as to guarantee a relaxing break throughout the journey, with moments dedicated to contemplation or exchanges between passengers.


      Discoveries in the surrounding area within a radius of 30 km

      Within a radius of 30 km around the starting point of the Compagnie Interîles, many discovery opportunities await visitors. Hiking enthusiasts will be delighted by the many coastal paths offering magnificent views of the sea and the islands. Among the most popular hikes is the one that leads to the tip of the Cap, offering an impressive panorama of the ocean.

      The region's villages, with their local produce markets, are also worth exploring. Every week, small producers offer fresh produce, including fruit, vegetables, and seafood. The charming village of Port-au-Loup, located about twenty kilometers away, is renowned for its craft market and picturesque streets. Visitors can also stop at the Belle-Rive River, ideal for a picnic break or a swim.

      The surrounding coastal towns offer a rich historical heritage, with monuments dating back several centuries, such as fortified churches or the remains of maritime fortifications. Finally, for those who prefer relaxation, some discreet beaches on the outskirts of the islands are accessible after a short walk or by car, allowing you to relax far from the crowds.

      By combining cruises, hikes and visits to the surrounding area, the region is full of treasures to discover for all lovers of nature and the sea.
