The most beautiful ports of call in Morbihan
Yacht charter in Morbihan is a pleasant way to participate in the daily life of the locals and veer off into all sorts of fun activities after the summer. You can browse among the colorful stalls of the local markets, lose yourself among the historic buildings, linger in a crêperie with a sea view… it's impossible to get bored in Morbihan. There's something for everyone.
Budding historians will naturally choose the Morbihan Cities of Art and History, such as Vannes, coiled down a rope at the bottom of the Gulf of Morbihan. Home to a charming marina, Vannes is also the meeting place for partygoers who attend the Jazz à Vannes festival every July and the Fêtes d'Arvor at the end of August. With two small sandy beaches, Vannes is also the recommended starting point for a coastal cruise along the southern coast of Brittany, where there are a number of seaside resorts with magnificent beaches and coves, such as the commune of Pénestin.
Alternating isolated coves and sandy beaches along 25 km of coastline in southern Morbihan, the seaside resort of Pénestin has been the talk of the town for some time now. Those who like to relax, enjoy board sports, laze around and swim will quickly find something to suit their tastes! Anchored boats at Branzais beach offer nature lovers the chance to observe egrets and barnacle geese flying around in their natural environment. La Mine d'Or beach is unanimously praised by beachgoers, who describe it as a magnificent place for walks and a very popular spot for paragliders.
For nautical competition enthusiasts, Trinité-sur-Mer is without doubt the seaside resort not to be missed during your cruise in the open sea off the Morbihan coast. A world-famous marina, La Trinité-sur-Mer opens its doors every summer to sailors from all over the world. Yacht charter in La Trinité-sur-Mer is ideal for those who appreciate the typical Breton atmosphere found in the bars, restaurants and cafés that line the quays. In the heart of the city, along its old arteries lined with traditional fishermen's houses, each pitch transports you to another era. And then there is the colorful market on Place du Voulien, where you can smell fresh-baked baguettes and sun-kissed vegetables in the early morning.
In the open sea off the coast of Morbihan
The Morbihan coastline is not only worthy of note for its numerous seaside resorts with magnificent beaches. It is also the point of departure for excursions to the 42 islands populating the Gulf of Morbihan. A trip to the Quiberon peninsula is one of the excursions not to be missed in the gulf. An unspoiled landscape, wild coasts sheltering a few sandy beaches, historical heritage and gastronomy have enabled the peninsula to find its place among the must-sees of Morbihan.
You can also venture out onto the Gulf of Mor Braz, departing from Port-Navalo or Vannes, marked by a few islands and islets with excellent anchorages such as Dumet, Houat, Hoëdicdic or Belle-Île, where you can veer off on horseback riding, surfing or just lazing on a fine sandy beach.
