It seems like you are a passionate globetrotter! I'm sure you are always looking for unique trips and adventures 🌎 I might have something for you ;) Do you feel like an exciting sailing trip on a great catamaran from island to island along the Breton coast? Find the best places to surf, drop anchor in secluded bays, explore the best spots to climb with us and sleep out on deck under the stars! If you are lucky, you might even catch a fish and watch dolphins or whales. The guitar is in any case already in the luggage! Don't worry - you don't have to know how to sail! Only the desire for an adventure & the passion for extraordinary journeys should you bring 🌏 However, long fingernails and make-up have no place on board with us - so better leave all the knick-knacks at home :) It is our firm belief that it is the goosebump moments and encounters with other people that make travel special. That's why we want to make it possible for everyone to see the world with their own eyes. Sailing is probably the most beautiful means of transportation surrounded by the wonderful nature. But above all, we pay attention to our ecological footprint when we travel. 👣 On our adventure trip you can connect with like-minded globetrotters and share your experiences and learn something from the others while traveling! 🚀 🗺️ When you're in Brittany, your dreams are about flower-covered islands floating on the waves, a terrain between heaven and earth. The natural world here is wilder and more lush than anywhere else. Brittany is a surfer's paradise and offers some of the best surfing in Europe, with great waves to learn to surf. We are cruising on a great and super equipped Lagoon 40 (40 foot catamaran). This boat has plenty of room for eight people with 4 spacious cabins each, a salon with kitchen, sofa and stereo. A catamaran is super relaxing, it rocks very little, so you don't have to worry about seasickness :-) 🏄♂️🏄♀️🧗♀️🧗 The trip includes surf lessons at a local surf school, admission to climbing gyms and our outdoor climbing tours. And when we have some relaxation from all the action, we just go to the beach and explore this beautiful area, what do you think? And who are we? I'm Ben. With a buddy I sailed around the world for almost 5 years. On our trip we experienced a lot, met great people and made a lot of music (we are musicians and studied sound engineers). We filmed the whole thing and our travel documentary "Blown Away" is in German cinemas since 21.05.19. More on www.blownaway-movie.de and www.sailingconductors.com I'm Elena. Once on board a boat and I never left the sea. Together with Ben, I now live on our beautiful catamaran in the most beautiful place in the world in southern Portugal. "Life is too short for sometime" - I just love to live crazy, free and different and to follow a path that fulfills you. I've been working with social media for 3 years now, capturing our slightly different lives in photos and videos. Www.instagram.com/elenamarisa_ So, join us! Together we will explore the beautiful Algarve coast, sail, surf, climb, swim, fish 🐟 , do yoga 🧘♀ , watch our new cinema documentary "Blown Away" in the outdoor boat cinema 🎬 , soak up the sun☀ , chat and listen to music, music, music🎼 And when we anchor we can make a campfire on the beach and grill our self caught fish! Ditch the car and sail right into the middle of the adventure. That's what it really means to get away from it all. Are you with us? 😊 Then send us a message in a bottle! :) We look forward to seeing you!

Glénan Islands
Day 2-3
After a hearty and healthy breakfast we cast off the lines and set sail! Since we are always dependent on the wind and weather and to find the best paragliding spots, the sailing route can change a little and must be adapted to the weather conditions. The first stop we will make on Île de Groix. With a length of 7 km and a width of 3 km, Île de Groix is the second largest island in Brittany and is located 14 km off the coast of Lorient. Once an important center for tuna fishing, Île de Groix is now known for its beautiful and unusual beaches and its important concentration of minerals. We drop anchor for lunch, dip our toes in the sand and who feels like going snorkeling? Later in the afternoon, we set sail again and make our way to the Caribbean ... well, almost! The seven Glénan Islands lie in the middle of the Bay of Biscay off the coast of Concarneau and are known as the Caribbean of Brittany or "Breton Tahiti". The archipelago, with its white beaches and azure waters, is the antithesis of the otherwise rugged rocky landscape of northern France. Some people say that the Glénan Islands are the most beautiful islands in Europe. Accessible only in summer, they are known for sailing and diving and for their unique native blooms. In the late evening we raise our anchor again and sail through the night, one of the most magical experiences of sailing, when it is quiet and peaceful and you can only see the stars while listening to the sounds of the boat moving through the elements. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ After a rich and healthy breakfast we untie the bow lines and hoist the sails! As we always depend on the weather and wind conditions and in order to find the best locations for paragliding, the sailing route might vary slightly and has to be adjusted. However, the first stop of choice will be Île de Groix. At 7 km long by 3 km wide, Île de Groix is Brittany's second largest island and lies 14 km off the coast of Lorient. Once a major centre for tuna fishing, Groix is now noted for its lovely and unusual beaches and its important concentration of minerals. We'll drop anchor for lunch, dip our toes in the sand and who wants to go snorkeling? Later in the afternoon we'll set sails again and are headed for the Caribbean... well, almost! The seven Glénan Islands lie in the middle of the Bay of Biscay off the coast of Concarneau and are referred to as the Caribbean of Brittany or "Breton Tahiti". The archipelago, with its white beaches and azure water, forms the antipole to the otherwise rugged rock landscape of Northern France. Some people say that the Glénan Islands are the most beautiful islands in Europe. Only accessible in summer, they are best known for sailing and diving and for having a unique indigenous flower. Late in the evening we will lift our anchor again for a night sail, one of the most magical experiences when it comes to sailing when it's quiet and peaceful and all you can see is the stars while listening to the sounds of the boat moving through the elements.

Ushant
Day 4-5
Who wants to go surfing? Let's go surfing together in the morning when the waves are good. But in Camaret-Sur-Mer the waves are often great! On the Île d'Ouessant, 30 km off the coast of Le Conquet, is the westernmost point of France, Pointe de Pern. The island is known for its lighthouses and treacherous seafaring heritage, but especially for its native sheep. After Île d'Ouessant, there's not much more to come, and then America right away ... So, should we just keep sailing west ? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Who wants to surf? Let's do it together in the morning if the waves allow it.
