Southern Brittany coastal trip, optional cabin charter or sail training, western and southern Brittany, happily in an exclusive 2-person crew on GWENAVEL, an ocean-proven, comfortable, well-maintained offshore yacht by HALLBERG-RASSY. The trip guarantees plenty of hands-on activity and learning in navigation and seamanship, not just passive sailing!
Start and end of trip in Le Crouesty on the Gulf of Morbihan in sunny South Brittany. The dates of the trip can also be varied by 1–2 days on request. Fast access by TGV from Paris in only 3 hours.
Exciting tidal navigation between Pointe du Raz, Iles de Glénan, Groix, Belle-Ile and Ile d'Yeu.
No tidal cruising area in Europe offers such a variety of islands, fishing harbours, anchorages and marinas as South Brittany. In terms of navigation and scenery, this sailing area is among the most interesting that Europe has to offer a passionate sailor. The tides and tidal streams in Brittany, and especially at Pointe du Raz, are a navigational challenge. But don't worry… relaxed holiday sailing is just as possible with us.
The yacht GWENAVEL is a well-maintained and perfectly equipped offshore yacht from the renowned HALLBERG-RASSY yard: centre cockpit, 12.20 m long, 3.70 m beam and 1.90 m draught. 90 square metres of sail area, Volvo 55 hp engine, fully equipped for worldwide cruising in terms of navigation, sailing and safety.
There are 6 berths available, but a maximum of only 3 are occupied, as we sail with only TWO people in the crew. This allows crew members plenty of hands-on involvement in navigation and seamanship, plus the comfort of generous space for only 2 sailors on a 12 m yacht.
