Centre Nautique de Saint-Palais-sur-Mer

About Us

We take advantage of Nauzan beach and the Saint-Palais coastline to try out a wide range of water sports. Between sailing and land sailing, we share intense moments with a team passionate about the ocean and the great outdoors.

Accredited by the French Sailing Federation since 1992, the Saint-Palais-sur-Mer nautical center guarantees quality instruction on Nauzan beach. Benefit from the expertise of a professional team to discover the ocean through courses ranging from introductory sessions to advanced training.

The structured offering is precisely segmented to meet the needs of each age group:

– Sea Garden (ages 5 to 7): for a playful first introduction to the marine environment

– Optimist (7 to 10 years old) and Funboat (8 to 11 years old): for learning the basics of sailing

– 13-foot catamaran (ages 11 to 14) and 15-foot catamaran (ages 15 and up): to improve speed and technique

– Windsurfing (from age 12) and Wingsurfing: to experience the thrill of gliding, in one-hour lessons or 3-day courses

– Land sailing (ages 8 and up): to glide across the sand to the rhythm of the wind

In July and August, you can also take advantage of a full rental service to explore the coastline independently. You can rent catamarans, dinghies, windsurfing boards, kayaks, or stand-up paddleboards (single or double). For optimal comfort, the facility even sells wetsuits on-site.
