Canoe and Kayak in Bordeaux

Canoe and Kayak in Bordeaux. Throughout the year, the Marins de la Lune organize nautical outings on the Garonne, whether by canoe, Kayak, Stand Up Paddle or SUP Race. The association is located on the banks of the river at CHANTIERS DE LA GARONNE, a stone’s throw from the Niel barracks.

The Marins de la Lune nautical club aims to promote sporting activities: Stand-Up Paddle, Kayak, other rowing sports, Sailing, on the Bordeaux water and Surfing in the Ocean. The Sailors of the Moon association is part of the Darwin ecosystem , and of the 58th, the federation of Darwin associations. The club is hosted at Chantiers de la Garonne.

Because promoting and developing the practice of non-motorized water activities on the Garonne is one of our objectives, leisure outings allow those who want to practice kayaking, Stand Up Paddle, canoe or other on our great body of water.

For this, the Sailors of the Moon organize regular outings between members, supervised by a “coypu”. The club can provide boats, within its means. Everyone is free to come with their own equipment.

The Stand Up Paddle & Surf Competition section aims to provide a framework for members who wish to practice SUP in a sporting way and compete (at least one race per year), mainly in SUP Race, but also in SUP wave and surf. Beyond the club and the infrastructure, we also provide emulation between competitors, with regular training sessions and adapted programs.

A good technical and sporting level is required to be part of this section.

Initially the club was structured around sailing by offering Class 8 outings or organizing regattas on the Garonne. Today the club no longer has Class 8s and the sailing section is oriented more towards Offshore practice (e.g. Solitaire du Figaro) where logistical support in the development of sporting events in the region ex Raid des Oiseaux, in the Arcachon basin, Sail’in City (ex:cataraid) soon in Bordeaux.
