The journey begins with a glide along the turquoise waters of the northeast, offering unique perspectives of the coastal charm. You will pass by l’Île d’Ambre, a tranquil islet surrounded by rich mangroves, where time seems to pause and nature thrives undisturbed. The boat then anchors near Bernaches Island, a hidden gem where you can swim, relax on the beach, or wander through its natural beauty.

On board, the crew prepares a flavourful BBQ lunch, complete with tropical sides and your choice of drinks, whether you fancy a fresh cocktail or a refreshing non-alcoholic sip. Music sets the mood, while the breeze and scenery do the rest.
