Yacht charter Quiberon

With a yacht charter Quiberon you start on a sailing trip in the North Atlantic not far from the sailing center of Brittany in La Trinité-sur-Mer. Quiberon is not only the name of the place, but also of the peninsula on which it is situated. Originally and until the 11th century, this peninsula was an island, but due to heavy deforestation, wind and water formed a land bridge. Through this bridge the village is connected to the mainland by a road. Since this provides the only access, it can get a bit crowded here in the summer months, but it is worth the effort. A peculiarity of this stretch of land is its diversity. The western side of the island is characterized by its location on the open Atlantic, the Côte Sauvage, the wild coast. Here, the rocks defy the strength of the sea and offer many imposing vantage points to witness this spectacle. For example, at the Pointe du Percho, where the sea has worked on the rocks over the centuries. At the nearby beach Plage de Port Blanc, surfers cavort at one of the most beautiful surf spots in Brittany. Nature lovers and active sports enthusiasts alike will find their highlights on the west coast of the island.
The east coast of the island faces inland, the Bay of Quiberon. Here the sea is calmer and there are sandy beaches lined up, where even swimming with children is great fun. The largest beach is located in the very south of the island, but also in the immediate vicinity of Port Haliguen, where you take over your yacht, you will find the Plage du Porigo, a nice opportunity to start your vacation with a swim. The southernmost point of the island can be found at the Pointe du Conguel. One kilometer long and only 200 meters wide, a sandy headland stretches into the sea. A hiking trail leads across the dune landscape, a worthwhile walk that can be combined with a visit to the Menhir de Quibéron. The Château Turpault, a castle built in 1904 and located at the Pointe de Ber Er Lann, is also worth a visit.

From a culinary point of view, the region offers sweet and savory dishes in equal measure. The typical Breton buckwheat crêpes, so-called galettes, can be found on every corner. Seafood lovers will find the typical mussels or, for example, assiette de fruits de mer, a selection of seafood served on a large platter in almost any of the city's restaurants.
Once you have arrived safely, stowed your belongings on the yacht and enjoyed a stroll through the town followed by a swim, you are ready to head out to sea.

The Gulf of Morbihan - island paradise also for sailing beginners

Especially for less experienced sailors a yacht charter Quiberon offers the opportunity to broaden your sailing experience in the sheltered inland waters on the east side of the island. The Baie de Quiberon is more protected from the waves and the winds from the Atlantic Ocean by the offshore islands Belle-Île-en-Mer, Houat, Hoedic and the Quiberon Peninsula. In addition, the islands offer interesting ports of call. The harbors in La Trinité-sur-Mer or Arzon are easy to reach without leaving the protection. Passing Arzon, one reaches the Gulf of Morbihan, the "little sea". This inland sea is considered one of the most beautiful bays in the world because of its wealth of islands and lush nature. Visit the largest island, Île aux Moines. The small streets of the village lead past whitewashed fishermen's cottages with balconies decorated with flowers, giving the place an appearance somewhat reminiscent of Greece. The heath landscape of the island invites you to take a walk and admire the plants that thrive excellently in the almost southern climate. Or you can rent a bicycle and ride around the island, passing the gallery tomb, the dolmen of Pen Hap, for about 20 kilometers.

Explore the islands in the Gulf of Morbihan and the Baie de Quiberon during your vacation and spend a fantastic sailing vacation in Brittany, even as a family or a beginner.

Caribbean flair on the Glénan Islands

The more experienced sailors on a yacht charter Quiberon may prefer the wild Atlantic Ocean instead of the calm waters of the Gulf of Morbihan. A short distance away lies the Île de Groix. Until 1940, the island's port was France's most important tuna port. On the island there are witnesses of its long history such as the dolmens Men Kam and Men Yann and a Viking grave discovered here. In the north of the island there is a marina in Le Boug and an anchorage on the sandy beach in front of Pointe de la Croix. The south of the island is very rugged and offers some beautiful bays, which you should explore better from the mainland, for example by bike. At the Plage Les Grands Sables, an extensive sandy beach, the beauty of this island can be enjoyed especially with a bath in the cool water and in the city restaurants and bars offer the possibility to let the evening end comfortably.
On the coast not far from the island is Lorient. The former trading port of the French East India Company offers an informative enrichment for every sailor with a visit to the sailing museum "Cité de la Voile Éric Tabarly". The museum has also focused on teaching children about the knowledge and history of this outstanding ocean sailor, so sailing enthusiast families will also feel right at home here. Further to the southwest lie the Îles de Glénan, the archipelago with its islands offers Caribbean flair in the middle of Brittany. Beautiful excursion destinations, for example for a hike, are located on the island of Saint-Nicolas.
