Sail from Arcachon to La Rochelle aboard the replica of the historic frigate Shtandart!
Join us for a captivating 5-day voyage as we set sail from the picturesque Bay of Arcachon back to the historic port of La Rochelle. This hands-on adventure combines the thrill of traditional sailing with the beauty of France’s Atlantic coastline and a deep dive into the rich traditions of 18th-century seafaring.

Sail the Atlantic Coast
Depart from Arcachon, a stunning seaside town known for its serene waters and towering sand dunes, and navigate along the breathtaking French coastline. As we journey north, enjoy pristine beaches, rugged cliffs, and the dynamic waters of the Bay of Biscay before reaching La Rochelle, a city steeped in maritime history.

You won’t be a passenger—you’ll be an active member of the crew. Learn to hoist the sails, climb the masts, and steer the helm as you work with your shipmates to guide the Shtandart to La Rochelle.

Live Maritime History
The Shtandart is a faithful replica of an 18th-century wooden frigate, and every detail reflects the craftsmanship of the Age of Sail. Explore its rigging, wooden hull, and timeless design as you experience firsthand what it was like to sail a ship of this grandeur.

Gain hands-on experience in celestial and coastal navigation and learn how to work with tides and wind. Experience the routines of 18th-century sailors, from handling sails to life aboard the ship, as you connect with maritime history in a way few ever do.

No Experience Needed!

Whether you’re an experienced sailor or brand new to the world of traditional sailing, this voyage is for everyone. Our experienced crew will guide you through every step, ensuring a safe and rewarding experience for any adventurers.

Watch stunning sunsets, stargaze under the vast night sky, and let the rhythm of the waves carry you to a wonderful place of dreams.

Accommodation and Amenities:
