Yacht charter Brittany

Brittany is not an easy sailing area. Due to the rapidly rising seabed, high waves as well as strong currents occur. The tides dry up small harbors at low tide, larger harbors create conditions independent of the tide. The winds, on the other hand, are steady until it approaches autumn . No wonder, then, that the ports on the west coast of France have become yachting centers of the country. Here there are well-equipped marinas from which circumnavigations start. The north is more rugged, with steep and rocky coasts, such as the Côte d'Armor. In the south the climate is warmer due to the Gulf Stream, here you will also find many bays and sandy beaches where you can enjoy the many hours of sunshine. You can stop in small fishing villages and harbors and try fresh seafood in the restaurants or at the market, the area is famous for its mussel and oyster farms.

Sporty sailing or relaxing cruise with a yacht charter Brittany

From La Trinité-sur-Mer, you can challenge north, sailing towards Brest and past the Cap, or go relaxed island-hopping on the offshore Breton islands and seek tranquility from the wild Atlantic in the Gulf of Morbihan, an inland sea. Alternatively, you can depart from our base at Arzon, right at the mouth of the Gulf, and head straight for the calmer waters to discover the 40-plus islands. Although the force of the Atlantic does not hit you here, the gulf is still influenced by the tides. Or you can start further south in the historic city of La Rochelle, which has a beautiful medieval core, and head south if you are also interested in the Spanish Biscay coast or north towards the Bay of Quiberon, in the quieter and popular vacation part of Brittany.
