Sailing Day Trip Ideas on a Cruising Sailboat

Brest Bay
Covering 180 km², this bay is a wonderfully protected stretch of water, with no swell at all, and dotted with numerous islands and islets :
- Round Island
- Trébéron and Morts Islands
- Arun Island
- Tibidy Island…
Thanks to its irregular shoreline, you can always find a well-protected anchorage for a peaceful lunch or dinner on board.

The Tas De Pois (Camaret-sur-Mer)
With favorable tides and winds, you can depart from Brest’s Moulin Blanc harbor at the start of the morning, navigate between the Tas de Pois, and be back by late afternoon.
After passing Pointe du Toulinguet, the rugged 70-meter Armorican sandstone cliffs of Pointe de Pen Hir and the Tas de Pois present a breathtaking, monumental scenery.
This short trip through the Iroise Marine Park offers a magnificent view of the wild and jagged shores of northern Brittany.

Fort De Bertheaume (Plougonvelin)
With favorable tides and winds, you can depart from Brest’s Moulin Blanc harbor at the start of the morning, have lunch at the base of the fort, and be back by late afternoon.
Built on a solitary rock as a first defensive line for Brest harbor, this Vauban fort offers a magnificent backdrop for lunch.
You can enjoy a swim before or after lunch, either from the sailboat or from the nearby fine sandy beach.
