Sailing Courses:
Our main aim at Brittany Sailing is for our clients to enjoy themselves while learning the necessary skills to run and/or skipper a yacht safely and confidently as we cruise the fantastic waters of the Brittany Coast and Islands. And if conditions are a little too rough out at sea then we are very fortunate in having the huge sheltered waters of the Rade de Brest to sail in.
The Rade de Brest is a vast area of 150 square kilometres open to the sea to the west by an opening 1.8km wide and boasting a fabulous nautical environment with a modern marina and every watersport possible being available.
To ensure you receive the best possible tuition in a pleasant environment we only have a maximum of 4 students on board at any one time. We offer all practical RYA training courses from Competent Crew through to Yachtmaster Offshore (Preparation course) over 5 days.
Our sailing courses are taken on 'Cornish Legend', a steel Van De Stadt 34' yacht which has been purpose built to extremely high standards. She is a bermudian sloop, very stable and fast and has a 33hp inboard engine which gives her a cruising speed of 6 knots under power. There is a comfortable cockpit and a sun bathing area on the fore deck. The foresail is a furling genoa and the main sail has slab reefing.
Course Prices:
Our courses run from May to October, starting on the Saturday afternoon and running through to midday Thursday.

Company Overview:
Many of our clients have had a great holiday while completing their courses. Here are some of their recent comments:
"I very much enjoyed my week on the Cornish Legend; to be precise I have rarely had such a good holiday and I have every intention to come back next year." - Angelika
"Just to say thanks for an excellent week, - I really enjoyed it, and thanks for all your patient instruction (especially the man overboards!)" - Lucy
"Thanks for five great days aboard Cornish Legend, it's certainly given me a lot more confidence in my sailing ability. I'm thinking of Coastal Skipper, perhaps next year." - Paul
"Last week was truly brilliant. I enjoyed the sailing but also the company too. It made such a wonderful break and I much admired your excellent method of training and calmness. "- Paul
Location & How to Find Us:
Camaret is situated on the most we
stern point of the Crozon Peninsula but is beautifully protected from the Atlantic weather as it is tucked behind Point de Penhir and faces east. There is a long breakwater that has a delightful church at the end together with the old fort which used to protect the town from invaders. Camaret is a smaller version of St. Ives, in Cornwall as it has many art galleries, shops, cafes/bars and restaurants surrounding the picturesque harbour.
If you do not want the expense of bringing your car over on the ferries you can now fly from Luton, Birmingham, Southampton or Exeter to Brest with Flybe or Rynair ( starting at about £40 ) Flight time about 60 mins.
Richard can pick people up in 'Cornish Legend' at the Visitors Pontoon (by the Bureau du Port) at the Moulin Blanc Marina, Brest - and then be dropped back, at the end of the course. This is a free service.
