3-day sailing cruise trips
To reach these destinations by sailboat, nature (winds, swell, tides, and currents) dictates the terms!
Ushant Island
Ushant is the largest and westernmost of the Iroise Sea islands.
Surrounded by these 5 legendary lighthouses, to be discovered by day or night, the island is regularly swept by winds that shape its natural environments with their rich and fragile biodiversity.
Nicknamed the sentinel island, a minimum stopover of one day is necessary to discover this Breton splendor on foot, by diving, and/or by bike.
Molène Island and its archipelago
The archipelago consists of 19 islands and islets, of which only Molène and Quéménès are inhabited.
It is characterized by its extraordinary biological diversity, preserved and protected by various programs: Natura 2000, the Iroise National Nature Reserve, and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Sein Island
The island is characterized by exceptional environments and landscapes that have earned it a place among the “most beautiful villages in France,” as well as a unique history during WWII.
Its tranquility, narrow streets, beaches, and pebble ridges guarantee a total change of scenery. The 360° view from the Goulenez lighthouse over the ocean, the island, and its causeway is a must-see.
For experienced kayakers, an excursion to the Ar Men lighthouse is possible.
Aber Ildut
Aber Ildut is the smallest of the three “abers” (estuaries) in the Iroise Sea, but this small fishing port and Europe’s leading seaweed port has incredible charm.
Recognized as a natural area of ecological, faunal, and floral interest, the location offers beautiful hikes along the coast and inland.
The stopover is also an opportunity to discover, at the Maison de l’Algue, their uses and their gustatory and nutritional virtues.
Aber Benoit
The aber offers the possibility of hiking in the heart of nature on heavily wooded and uncrowded paths.
Beautiful fine sand beaches line its mouth to the south and west. The sunset is unforgettable.
On the culinary side, seafood and excellent mussels are farmed offshore, and oysters are matured in the gentle river waters for an exceptional dinner with a view of the oyster beds.
Aber Wrac’h
The largest aber in Finistère can be explored by kayak, navigating between the islands and islets on the sea side, or by wandering on land. The landscapes change dramatically with the tides.
Heading upstream, nature is peaceful and lush.
The mouth is dotted with fine sand beaches, islets, and islands such as Stagadon Island or Vierge Island.
Camaret-sur-Mer
The stopover is a must because this town, located at the southern entrance of the narrows, has many assets:
- an artists’ quarter
- a remarkable heritage listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site
- fine sand beaches
- hiking trails along the cliffs
- colorful bars and restaurants with a view of the harbor.
Morgat (port of Crozon)
This small port is bordered by fine sand beaches, some of which are only accessible by sea. Peace and quiet guaranteed.
The coast can be explored by hiking along the GR 34 and/or by kayak, visiting the many sea caves. The landscapes are breathtaking.
