BAY CRUISE

At the beginning of April 2018, Étaples-sur-mer inaugurated the Baie de Canche (the Bay of Canche), its new ship of cruise and sea fishing.

The revolutionary Baie de Canche boat reinvents the concept of cruise ship, a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces to connect to the sea like never before. The walk goes around the ship, it is unique and gives access to many places where to land, where to perch to make a beautiful photo, or even on reservation enjoy fish smokes that sailors-fishermen employment bring in their nets (salmon, halibut, mackerel, herring …).

A unique view of the bay, a meeting with the seals … maybe!

From the deck of the boat, the banks of the river scroll lazily. The lucky ones sometimes have the opportunity to see the seals who like to come to bask on the sandbanks of the estuary. And if you are not so lucky, the ride will be no less enjoyable and interesting. The surroundings of the estuary of La Canche are a popular medium for many migratory birds, who come to find refuge in the nearby nature reserve …
