Thanks to the islands of Ré and Oléron, La Rochelle’s protected waters are an essential natural asset, a haven known since antiquity. Since the very early days of sailing, the main sailing events have taken place here.

The superyacht harbour as well as the commercial port of La Rochelle (Port Authority), offer both shelter and ideal conditions for superyacht calls.

Furthermore, La Rochelle enjoys a great level of sunshine, comparable to that of the south coast.
