TRAINING COURSES
Optimist’s Lake
Available in summer for children ages 6 to 8, the traditional Optimist is the best way to introduce the little ones to the sea
Sailing Dinghy
From ages 7 to 9, the Optimist-at-Sea is an excellent way to get familiar with sailing!
The instructor will teach you how to gear up, prepare your boat on the shore, change directions… and even some of the vocabulary used in sailing.
Teen/Adult Catamaran
Lively, stable and easy, the Topaz 12 is
the support of the little champions! Intended for young sailors, aged 9 to 12, the Topaz 12 is the smallest of the catamarans, which offers it unparalleled speed and stability: in short, fun!
Wind SURF
Join us at the Gros Jonc and/or the Loge beach in summer! These two spots are connected and allow to surf on a large supervised water area, where all necessary wind conditions meet.
Kit Surf
The Kite in July-August is a strong demand at the club in discovery or evolution course.
Laurent, our instructor, will be there from the end of June to the beginning of September to provide you with lessons adapted to your level and your progress. Do not hesitate and dive into the deep end! We love Kite!
Wing Foil
The Wing Foil has the advantage of being accessible to everyone, even without previous experience on the water, the traction of the wing is flexible and the falls are not very impressive. You under say: yes but it must hurt your arms? answer: in fact no because it is the wing that carries you and not the other way around! There is of course a learning curve before flying above the water
RENTAL
We offer you 15, 16, 17 and 18 feet Topcat catamarans, with which you’ll be able to sail on your own or with a crew of 2 to 3.
Join us at the Gros Jonc and/or the Loge beach in summer! These two spots are connected and allow to surf on a large supervised water area, where all necessary wind conditions meet.
Check out our Hobbie Cat kayaks!
Equipped with a state-of-the-art pedal system, they’ll allow you to enjoy at the most the exceptional views of the Île de Ré northern side.
The Stand Up Paddle is the new trend at the beach! Coming from the Hawaiian islands, the Stand-up is a long surf board, wide enough to stand up on and to move using a paddle.
Located at the northern tip of the Ile de Ré, on a magnificent body of water, the Club Nautique des Portes en Ré has been sailing young and old since 1966.
Our desire is to provide members with modern education and equipment, in a friendly and sporty atmosphere where everyone can have fun as they see fit by mixing ballads, team spirit and sensations on the water, a beautiful time awaits you! Based on 3 of the most beautiful boat sites on the island for teaching and practicing dinghy sailing: the Gros Jonc nautical base, the Loge and the Marais des Optimist, we offer you the opportunity to sail on a dinghy, catamaran, board sailing and paddle-boarding.
