This is an example itinerary and depends on weather conditions and your wishes.

Day 1: First sail and exploration of the Golfe du Morbihan
Upon boarding, participants discover their yacht and familiarize themselves with life on board, thanks to a comprehensive safety briefing and equipment presentation.
We cast off for our first sail in the unique setting of the Golfe du Morbihan, famous for its tide-changing landscapes and countless islets. As we sail between Île aux Moines and Île d'Arz, we'll learn how to steer, tack for the first time and take part in maneuvers such as anchoring and taking on trunks. This day combines practical training and the pleasure of discovery, with an overnight anchorage in this natural setting.

Day 2: Sailing between the islands of the Gulf and further training
After breakfast on board, we continue our exploration of the islands of the Gulf, refining the techniques we learned the day before: reefing, adjusting sails to suit the point of sail, locating landmarks.
The day's sailing allows us to understand the complexity of currents and learn to anticipate strategic passages. Participants gain confidence, taking turns at the helm and maneuvering. We stop off at or near the Île d'Arz for a final panoramic view, before returning to port in the late afternoon for a debriefing and the end of this first adventure.

Want to go further? It's possible to extend the experience with a further 1 to 3 days on the Ponant Islands: Houat, Hoëdic and Belle-Île-en-Mer, and experience a real offshore coastal cruise.

This course is designed to offer a progressive immersion in sailing, in one of Brittany's most beautiful nautical playgrounds.
From a 2-day initiation to a 5-day adventure, participants discover the islands of the Gulf of Morbihan and the Ponant Islands. Supervised by an experienced skipper, they learn how to maneuver a sailboat, read a nautical chart, anticipate the tides and manage safety on board.
Each day is punctuated by periods of learning, active navigation and conviviality, with stopovers on emblematic islands such as Île aux Moines, Houat, Hoëdic or Belle-Île-en-Mer. An enriching experience to improve your sailing skills while exploring the maritime landscapes of Southern Brittany.
