About
Founded in 2016 at the drying harbour and based at the marina since 2019, the Aqua Jet base covers almost every kind of thrill on the water: jet skiing with or without a licence, towed rings, parasailing, wakeboarding, water skiing and boat trips with a skipper. Jet ski rides, led by a state-qualified instructor, head to Le Pouliguen, Le Croisic or the Loire estuary depending on their length; private trips on a Bénéteau Flyer 9 go as far as Houat or Noirmoutier. There is something for every age, from boat trips from age 3 to licence-free jet skiing from age 16. Open every day from April to the end of October, depending on the weather and sea conditions.
What you will see
- Licence-free jet skiing from age 16, led by a state-qualified instructor
- Parasailing from age 5, towed rings from age 6, boat trips from age 3
