It's a 31 feet sailboat (about 9m50) spacious and comfortable, specially designed for day cruises.
Alone, with friends, as a couple, with family, with colleagues... you are welcome on board!
In addition to the captain, you will be a maximum of 9 people on board.
No need to know how to sail: Pierre, the skipper takes care of everything!
The motto of Houat, Ag er mor e viuamb ("From the sea we live"), shows how important fishing was. Since then, the fleet has been reduced to 6 boats for 11 fishermen but the arrival at the port has kept all its charm.
The village is surrounded by small granite houses and there is the church of Saint Gildas (1766-1840).
A very old statue of the saint is enthroned there next to a thatch, a gallery and a wooden confessional carved by the ship's carpenters.
Beautiful beaches also surround Houat, including the splendid Treac'h ar Gouret (aka Grande Plage), it is a convex beach !
Half the size and half the population of its big sister Houat, the island of Hoëdic has long lived on fishing alone. There are still lobster traps in the harbor and a handful of fishermen who continue the tradition.
The coastline, flat and bare, offers an alternation of creeks, sandy beaches bathed by turquoise waters and rocky capes.
No car here : you can walk with your hair in the wind along the paths, in search of megaliths and the Vauban fort...
