Which boat should you choose for sailing in Bénodet?
There are different boats to suit the needs of sailors in Bénodet and the surrounding area.
- The Zodiac-type motorboat: ideal for fast, simple and sensational sailing! The Zodiac allows you to explore the most beautiful coasts of Finistère up close and to take a trip on the Odet to places where the water is shallow. In the bay of Port-Laforêt, you can veer off to various water sports such as water skiing or tubing. Finally, this boat is ideal for spending a day at the Glénan Islands: it will take you between half an hour and an hour of sailing from Port-Laforêt or Bénodet to get there, and you will be surprised by the fine sandy beaches and turquoise blue water on arrival!
- The monohull: perfect for experienced sailors who like a sporty, athletic style of sailing. It will allow you to travel long distances since, unlike the Zodiac, it is habitable.
- The catamaran: it offers great stability and large living spaces. This boat is ideal for groups who wish to sail in comfort, especially families with children, who are afraid of heeling over. You will be splashed by the waves much less than on the other two types of boats, which is a significant point in Brittany where the sea is sometimes rough.
If you rent a sailboat or catamaran in Bénodet without having sailed before, you can choose to hire a skipper who will guide you to the stops he knows, and adapt the sailing itinerary to your desires.
