Compagnie Interîles
Compagnie Interîles offers cruises with a stopover on Île d'Aix from La Rochelle and neighbouring islands, sailing past Fort Boyard, from April to November.
Cruises to Île d'Aix from La Rochelle
Compagnie Interîles is the main excursion operator of the Charente coast. From La Rochelle (Vieux-Port), it runs cruises to Île d'Aix with free time on the island, sailing past the iconic Fort Boyard on the way. Crossings take roughly 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.
Multiple departure points
Beyond La Rochelle, Interîles also serves Île d'Aix seasonally from Boyardville and Saint-Denis-d'Oléron (Oléron), Saint-Martin-de-Ré and Fouras. The half-day "Île d'Aix + Fort Boyard" cruise costs €30 for adults and €20 for children aged 4 to 17 (2026 rates).
Good to know
This is an excursion service rather than a shuttle: schedules allow a stopover of a few hours on the island. For the year-round ferry, use the Fouras-Aix maritime link. Season runs from April to November; booking online is recommended in summer.
