Start your sail cruising holiday from the fortified medieval city of Vannes, at the heart of the beautiful ‘Golfe du Morbihan’; ‘Morbihan’ is a Breton word and means little sea. Vannes boasts a myriad of restaurants and the atmosphere of a typical Breton city.
It is a pleasure to discover the calm of the ‘Golfe', an area which has been described as one of the most beautiful bays in the world. It offers something for all tastes, unequalled Breton scenery, picturesque harbours, cruising in protected bays, delightful and peaceful anchorages. Head out into the ‘Baie de Quiberon’, sail east or west along this unspoilt part of the French coast where the sheltered coastline makes a great sailing holiday with beautiful beaches, plenty of anchorages and islands.
Head further afield and there is the opportunity to experience some adventurous offshore sailing. Sit back and relax or be as ‘hands on’ as you wish, our highly experienced instructors will be pleased to help tailor a sail cruise to suit your requirements.
Sailing is a sport that can be enjoyed by everyone. You may want to combine time on the water with time ashore, experience sailing for a day, a weekend or a fortnight holiday - you choose.

The ‘Golfe du Morbihan’ is an inland sea and is strewn with around 40 small islands and inlets. It has many white sandy beaches; you could easily spend two weeks going to a different beach every day with quaint fishing villages dotting the coastline. This great tidal gulf, crammed with islands is a paradise waiting to be explored.

The Auray River leads to the small port of Bono, in the heart of nature with a history of oyster farming.
Discover the Breton myths and legends. The monoliths of Carnac, 17th century architecture of Saint Anne d’Auray, Chateaus, magnificent gardens, magical forests, lakes and birdlife are all in abundance in Southern Brittany.
With its delightfully mild climate, here in the ‘Gulf de Morbihan’ there truly is something for everyone.
