Boyard Croisière is a maritime excursion operator based in Fouras, Nouvelle-Aquitaine that specializes in guided and leisure boat trips around Fort Boyard and Île d'Aix. Departures take place from Port Sud de Fouras aboard the custom-built catamaran Rêvolt' and a stylishly revamped SNSM semi-rigid speed boat.
The company’s program includes short accessible sailings, two-hour apéro cruises, adrenaline-focused speed-boat experiences, and longer 7–8 hour itineraries with a guided landing on Île d'Aix and sightseeing around Fort Boyard. Signature departures include Croisière Escapade, Unik Apéro (an accessible sunset apéro aboard the Rêvolt'), Fort Boyard à la Voile (a 2.5-hour sailing), and privatisation options on the Maxi Catamaran Rêvolt' for events and corporate outings.
Captains and crew are experienced in local navigation of the Charente estuary and operate under standard maritime safety regulations to prioritize passenger comfort and security. Specific tours note accessibility features on the Rêvolt' to welcome passengers with reduced mobility. One speed-boat transfer offers a fast deposit to Île d'Aix and includes a captain-led tour around Fort Boyard.
Practical details such as schedules, group bookings, accessibility needs, and privatisation services (including catering and optional water-sport activities) are provided at booking.
