An unforgettable sea fishing experience
Sport fishing departing from Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie
Set off on board a semi-rigid boat, depending on the weather conditions, for a sport fishing trip departing from Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, near the beaches or in the depths.
Sea bass fishing in the oyster beds of Noirmoutier
On the oyster beds of the Noirmoutier oyster basin, go in search of the sea bass, an emblematic fish and the most sought-after by saltwater fishermen.
Deep-water vertical fishing around the island
Head out to the waters off the island to fish for different species of fish — grey sea bream, red gurnard — using vertical fishing, directly under the boat.

A complete experience, from beginner to enthusiast
Discover sea fishing in a different way
Enjoy an immersive experience around Noirmoutier and Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, guided by a passionate expert.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced fisherman, enjoy personalized support, complete equipment on board and techniques adapted to the day's conditions for a unique moment on the water.
Make progress with tailored coaching
On board your own boat or the guide's boat, improve your fishing techniques: reading the water, choosing lures, casting accuracy, animation and strategies according to the targeted species.
Professional guidance that allows you to progress quickly and gain autonomy.
Responsible fishing that respects the marine environment
Each outing is carried out in compliance with minimum sizes, quotas and seasons.
Julien informs you before departure about the essential rules and ensures responsible conservation of catches in order to preserve resources and the balance of the seabed.
Discover unique sensations
Thrills throughout the seasons
Various fishing techniques will be available to you; jigging, trolling, but surface fishing remains a technique that I love for hunting bass.
While the number of catches remains lower compared to soft lures for example, the sensations it provides through surface strikes more than compensate for this.
My favorite season for sea bass fishing is summer at sunrise or sunset and autumn. I often catch the biggest specimens near the beaches of Saint Gilles Croix de Vie or Brétignolles.
And also freshwater fishing
Vendée is not just a marine territory: its rivers, canals and ponds also offer great opportunities for freshwater fishing.
During the winter, I offer outings dedicated to perch, zander and pike.
These species, renowned for their aggressive strikes and spirited fights, offer a completely different experience from sea fishing. Accurate casting, reading fishing spots, stealth, and mastery of lure action become paramount.
Whether on the edges, in calm areas or near submerged obstacles, each species holds its share of surprises.
Freshwater fishing is a great alternative to continue experiencing thrills all year round, even when the sea becomes more unpredictable.
It's another world, calmer but just as exciting, where every touch is earned and savored.
Coaching on board your boat
Tailor-made learning, directly in the field
I offer personalized support directly on your boat to introduce you to or help you refine your chosen fishing techniques. My goal is to help you optimize your approach based on your equipment, fishing area, and target species.
I'll bring my own equipment to complement yours and provide tailored advice. Together, we'll explore different strategies to adopt depending on the current conditions: reading the water, identifying promising areas, approaching rocky outcrops, managing feeding frenzies, and adapting to fish behavior.
I will also show you how to effectively create various rigs depending on the techniques used (lures, natural baits, jigging, etc.), as well as essential knots to secure your lines. We will work on technical skills, including casting, lure action, and drift accuracy, to improve your fishing efficiency.
This coaching is a true practical immersion, where you will benefit from real-time advice and a sharing of experience that will allow you to progress quickly and gain more autonomy on the water.
Fish preservation on board
Compliance with sizes, quotas and seasonality
In compliance with current regulations concerning minimum sizes, quotas and the preservation of resources according to the season, the fish caught may be kept for family consumption.
However, the fishing guide reserves the right to decide whether to keep the catch based on its size and quantity.
There is no livewell on board.
Before each departure, a briefing is held to inform participants of minimum sizes, permitted species and quantities that can be kept.
JULIEN DENEKRE, your guide
My passion for fishing, and respect for the marine environment
Passionate about fishing since childhood, first in freshwater and then at sea, I offer fishing trips by boat, float tube and from the shore.
I am an experienced fisherman, I started at the age of 6 with freshwater fishing, with line fishing, pole fishing, fly fishing, carp fishing, then predator fishing such as pike, zander and catfish, up to sea fishing, with mackerel fishing, bass fishing.
"Target 2026, big game fishing, with tuna fishing :-) "

Respect for the marine environment is essential to preserving biodiversity and maintaining the balance of ocean ecosystems...
The aquatic environment is fragile and deserves our full attention.
