Why rent a boat in Sainte Marine?
In the Breton commune of Combrit, at the mouth of the river Odet, Sainte-Marine is a peaceful village that has quickly won over visitors from all walks of life with its authentic charm and long sandy beach. The privileged location of the port of Sainte-Marine also makes it a prime destination for discovering the infinite joys of sailing. A yacht charter in Sainte-Marine will give you access to modern facilities. Not far from the port, the lighthouse and the Fort de Vauban are the first places to discover.
Opposite Sainte-Marine, Bénodet is the other village at the mouth of the Odet. The town is also a seaside destination, but there are many monuments to visit, including the chapel of Perguet and the Villa Menez Frost. Heading out in the open sea, you can go in the direction of the Glénan archipelago, appreciated for its wild character.
Pont-L'Abbé, Quimper and Concarneau are other interesting ports of call that you will explore for the richness of their cultural heritage. Throughout your stay on land and at sea, draw on the richness of the Breton terroir to taste delicious specialties, such as the unmissable crêpes and galettes, far and salted butter caramel.

Which boat should you choose for sailing in Sainte Marine?
There are different boats to suit the needs of sailors in Sainte Marine 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 nautical activities 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 to sail from Port-Laforêt or Sainte Marine 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 and athletic style of sailing. It will allow you to cover 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 Sainte Marine 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.
