    • What if the Arcachon Basin belonged to you for the duration of a nautical getaway?

      Experience the exceptional with Bat'Express and stop over towards serenity: entrust your desires for escape to a crew that has been crisscrossing and mastering our coastline for over 20 years.

      Tired of crowded tourist boats and set itineraries? Forget the constraints and treat yourself to absolute freedom. Whether you're in Cap Ferret or Arcachon, Bat'Express transforms your sea trip into a special, tailor-made, and completely private experience.

      Why choose Bat'Express rather than a simple boat trip?

      Total Freedom (The Luxury of Time): Unlike traditional shuttles, you decide. A dawn departure to watch the bay awaken? A leisurely aperitif while watching the sunset ? Our excursions are available from sunrise to sunset, 7 days a week, by reservation.

      The Expertise of a Private Skipper: Don't worry about navigation or tides. Our captains, passionate about the Bay, will take you where others don't go: secret sandbanks, protected oyster beds and hidden coves.

      Comfort and Style: Aboard our boats (Beacher, Pinasse, and traditional motorboats), enjoy a space all to yourself. Comfort, safety, and elegance are the hallmarks of your sea excursion.

      Your dream stopovers, without the crowds:

      • Bird Island & the Stilted Cabins : Get up close to these icons, to the rhythm of the lapping water.
      • The Dune of Pilat: Admire the tallest dune in Europe from the best possible vantage point: the sea. (only at low tide)
      • The Banc d'Arguin: Take a few minutes to disembark on this paradise of crystal-clear waters for a swim out of this world. (only at low tide)
      • Oyster tasting in Cap Ferret: Fancy some oysters? We'll drop you off directly at the pier closest to your favorite fishing village. The most authentic experience? Dropped off in the village of L'Herbe with your feet in the water up to your mid-calf/knees!

      For whom?

      Whether it's for a family outing, a romantic moment, a stag/hen party or a birthday, we create the itinerary that suits you.

      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.

    A magnificent three-hour trip with a top-notch skipper! We now know the history of this Arcachon bay! Perfect communication and very accommodating. Excellent atmosphere for a bachelorette party, I highly recommend it. Thank you all!
