Sailing Trip from Arzon with Stopover to Houat or Hoedic Island

About the Activity

What to Expect

Join us on our sailing trip with a stopover on the island of Houat or the island of Hoedic to discover the secrets of Brittany! Climb aboard La Baladeuzh and embark on an adventure to an island steeped in history. The Baladeuzh is a 31-foot (approx. 9m50) sailing boat designed specifically for day trips, perfect for solo travellers, families or groups of friends. With a maximum capacity of 9 people and led by an experienced skipper, this excursion offers a unique opportunity to explore the beautiful region of Brittany.

Our first option will be the island of Houat, whose name means ‘duck’ in Breton. This charming island is known for its unspoilt beaches and picturesque village. Here, you'll have the chance to stroll along the sandy beaches and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Our second option is the island of Hoedic, which translates as ‘little duck’ in Breton. Hoedic is smaller, but just as captivating, with its historic sites and breathtaking scenery.

The route will take us from the port of Crouesty (in Arzon, in front of the Maison du Port). We will then set sail for either the islands of Houat or Hoedic. A snack with drinks and local specialities will be served during the morning. We'll then take a break of around 3 hours on one of the two islands to visit and have a quiet bite to eat (at your own expense). After lunch, it's time to head back to the boat.

This tour is ideal for those keen to see the skipper in action and discover more about Brittany's rich past. Join us on this unique adventure and create memories that will last a lifetime.
