The unmissable sites to discover during your yacht charter in Granville
- The Channel Islands: Located to the west of the Cotentin peninsula and about ten nautical miles from Granville, the Channel Islands offer a real change of scenery to its visitors. Under the English flag, the archipelago is made up of more than 1,000 islets and reefs, the main ones being Jersey and Guernsey.
- The Isles of Scilly: Located 30 miles from the south-western point of Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly comprise just over 140 islands scattered between the English Channel andthe Atlantic. We strongly recommend that you rent a boat in the Channel to visit these isolated and tranquil lands in close contact with nature. Once there, don't miss the magnificent beaches of Pentle and Appletree Bays onthe island of Tresco, as well as the countless opportunities for cabotage in contact with nature and 3,000 years of history!
- The bay of Mont Saint-Michel: Located between Brittany and the Cotentin peninsula, the bay of Mont Saint-Michel is a must if you opt for a yacht charter in Granville! The bay has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979 and offers a splendid natural setting with seals and dolphins and its magnificent abbey perched at the top of Mont Saint-Michel in sight. However, be careful of the tides so as not to pitch your sailboat into the bay!
- Pointe du Grouin: This rocky headland located at the northernmost tip of Cancale marks the entrance to the bay of Mont Saint-Michel and offers a magnificent panorama! Navigation can be dangerous when approaching the coast, hence the presence of the Pierre de Herpin lighthouse to alert approaching boats. It is also off the Pointe du Grouin that the start of the famous Route du Rhum race is given every four years!

Practical advice for a successful yacht charter in Granville
- Choose the right time: The climate is milder between May and September, the temperatures are warmer and the sea calmer. We therefore recommend that you leave during this period.
- Find out about local regulations : Make sure you know the sailing rules in force in the Granville region before embarking. You will be asked for a nautical CV to prove your maritime experience.
- Documents and formalities: If you are the skipper of the boat, make sure you have a boat license to present. In addition, we strongly advise you to take out damage waiver insurance even if you hire a skipper: in the event of damage to the boat, you are directly responsible, and damage waiver protects you from any unintentional damage.
