Z08-25: Sailing along North West Brittany.  

From Jersey on the Channel Islands we sail across to Brittany, a nice long day of sailing with a late arrival. By evening, we sail into the beautiful estuary at sunset to Lezardieux where there is a small marina. The next day starts with fresh croissants from the bakery and then we sail a short distance to the enchanting Ile de Brehat to anchor. Here we go ashore for a gorgeous walk. Ile de Brehat is a unique car-free island with beautiful flowers and exotic plants. Due to the warm Gulf Stream, even palm trees tend to grow here.

The tidal difference between low and high water is enormous in this sailing area. Which is one of the charms, strong tidal currents and a great tidal differences of up to 12 metres at spring tide. “Not for the faint hearted”. Because of the huge tides, the landscape changes continuously, a beautiful sight with the numerous extraordinary rock formations. Since most ports are dry out, we have to calculate the tide right.

We also visit some very atmospheric medieval harbours such as Paimpol and Trequier. Via pretty estuaries (called Abers here), we hop further along the coast around Cape Finisterre, to the picturesque little port of Camaret sur Mer. Apart from a beautiful beach, there is also a ship graveyard where old decommissioned wooden fishing cutters lie slowly decaying. We will end in Brest where we will dine out the last evening.

The daily sailing distances are between 8 and 40 miles.
The above schedule is subject to weather, wind and tide.

The ‘board cash’ is the amount per person for the food and drink on board (including crew), as well as fuel, water, shore, port fees and taxes, but excluding trips, food and drinks ashore. This amount must be paid upon embarkation in cash to the skipper (in the appropriate currency). What remains after the sailing holiday, will be refunded.
