Province : The Bay of Arcachon

  • English
    • The Arcachon Basin belongs to you, day and night.

      Forget the road, choose emotion: 20 years of sailing, thousands of crossings, and still the same passion to bring you safely to port.

      Are you tired of the endless traffic jams on your way to Cap Ferret ? Do you dread looking for a parking space in Arcachon on a Saturday night? What if your journey became the best part of your day?

      Upgrade to VIP mode with Bat'express, the first private water taxi service in the Arcachon Basin, in operation since 2005.

      A tailor-made service, 24/7

      Unlike traditional shuttles with their rigid schedules, we adapt to your timetable. Dinner at Cap Ferret? An early start to catch a train? A sudden urge to cross under the stars? Our private water taxis await you at the dock, at the times of your choosing, arranged with our team at the reception desk when you make your reservation.

      Why choose Bat'Express rather than the road or the traditional shuttle?

      • Total Freedom (24/7) : Forget the endless queues at the piers. Your boat awaits you and your loved ones only, day and night.
      • Speed & Comfort: Enjoy a fast, safe, and friendly crossing with professional captains who know the Arcachon Basin like the back of their hand. No more 1.5-hour car journeys; reach the other side in just a few minutes.
      • The Privilege of Private Travel : Enjoy the trip with friends, family, or your loved one. It's your boat, your atmosphere, your breathtaking view of the Arcachon Bay's treasures at the time you choose when booking.
      • Night Service: We are the specialists in nighttime transfers. Travel with complete peace of mind after a festive evening, without worrying about getting home.


      Our flagship destinations:

      From Arcachon to Cap Ferret, via Le Canon, Grand Piquey, Le Moulleau or even the Dune du Pilat... we drop you off as close as possible to your desires.

      READY FOR BOARDING? Don't just look at the horizon, be a part of it.

    Magical moments thanks to Flo, our very attentive captain who anticipates our needs! We were lucky to have wonderful weather, but the trip would have been just as incredible in less favorable conditions thanks to the boat's protective features that kept us comfortably sheltered. A fantastic experience.
