What to expect
Aboard our 20th-century wooden ship, take a leap back in time on our boat trip to the island of Houat on a vintage sailboat! From Arradon, we will cast off and cross the Gulf of Morbihan. You will have a panoramic view of the multitude of islets that make up this magical place and admire the coastline of the Ile aux Moines, which is the largest island of all, and home to many species of birds. If we are lucky, we may see black swifts flying over our beautiful boat!

Extra information
At the end of the trip, we will return to Arradon and disembark in the same way.
It is a great experience to go out to sea with such an old sailing ship with full sails. The professionalism of the captain and his helmsman is evident from everything. Not a moment felt unsafe while we sailed back and forth to Houat with wind force 4 bft and fully sailed. The few hours on the island are also fun. It is very beautiful there in terms of nature.

We had a very nice day with the sun on the black lily; well protected from the cold with the raincoats lent, we enjoyed watching Guillaume, the second in command, in all his rope, sail and pulley maneuvers! What a job!! Yoan presented the day and the plan of the island of Houat well.
