This is the only private skippered boat trip from Saint-Gilles that you can book online. The €400 price is per group, not per person, so the cost per head depends entirely on how many of you there are: with 12 people, it's around €33 each for 3 hours at sea, one of the best-value boat trips on the west coast.
It's run by Cap Evasion 974, also known for its €40 snorkelling trips and €30 towable tube rides from the same Pontoon D in Saint-Gilles port. The boat is a good-sized RIB carrying up to 12 passengers, driven by a professional skipper who plans the trip around your group: cruising along the west coast, looking for marine life depending on the season (dolphins all year, whales from July to October) and stopping for a swim offshore if the sea is calm.
Who it suits: groups of 6 to 12 (birthdays, hen and stag dos, big family holidays, work outings) and couples who want the boat to themselves rather than sharing a catamaran with strangers. Who it doesn't suit: people with disabilities and babies (restrictions are stated on the listing) and groups of 1 to 3, for whom the group price works out too expensive per head.
Manawa price: €400 per group for 3 hours, including the RIB, a professional skipper and fuel. Moderate cancellation policy (free rebooking or a refund if the crew cancels because of bad weather). No pets on board. Bring swimwear, a towel, 100% mineral sunscreen (it's a marine reserve), water, snacks and a cap or hat. Please note: the trip is run in French only.
