Sailing in Brittany provides a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. The region’s mild climate and steady winds create ideal conditions for both novice and experienced sailors. As you navigate the waters aboard the Cherokee, you’ll have the opportunity to explore hidden coves, picturesque harbours, and the stunning Gulf of Morbihan, known for its tranquil waters and numerous islands.

Beyond sailing, Brittany offers a wealth of activities to enjoy. Explore the historic towns of Brest and Lorient, visit the prehistoric megaliths of Carnac, or take a leisurely stroll along the coastal paths.
