Are you an individual?

Businesses, associations, organizations, works councils, come aboard the “Semaine du Golfe” and bring your customers, suppliers and employees to the heart of the maritime event aboard exceptional boats.

The “Semaine du Golfe du Morbihan” welcomes a fleet of beautiful French and European heritage yachts. These boats are licensed for commercial use, providing the means for their survival and upkeep.

The organization's sole motivation is to bring these magnificent yachts to the Golfe du Morbihan, thus enriching the nautical spectacle and the interest of the event, but it is also a way of associating local and regional economic circles with the great pre-season event in Morbihan.

By chartering a heritage sailboat, you :

• Create original and effective public relations operations (invitations to customers, suppliers, staff, sales force, journalists...).
• Facilitate the presence of beautiful boats at the event, enhancing the fleet's image.
• Support our maritime heritage.
• Associate your business with a highly attractive maritime image.

In 2023, the involvement of companies enabled the participation of more than 30 exceptional boats, ensuring more than 10 days of chartering. More than 6,000 people embarked.

The Semaine du Golfe organization has selected a list of exceptional yachts. These boats can accommodate from 12 to 120 passengers, depending on their size and credentials.

A "typical day" on board ... depending on the tides...

8h00	Catering delivery
9h00	Gathering of guests at the meeting point. Embarkation of guests, coffee. Once on board, they have a front-row seat to watch the different flotillas leave their ports of call, each setting course for the day's program.
09h30-10h00	Seeting sail
10h00-17h00	Sailing in the Gulf and Bay of Quiberon among the criss-crossing flotillas against the backdrop of the superb scenery of the Gulf and Bay. For those who wish, it's usually possible to learn how to handle these special rigs.
12h30-14h00	Lunch at sea or at anchor.
17h30	Return accompanied by hundreds of participating boats to their evening port of call.
18h00	Passenger disembarkation.

This sequence is given as an example, and the organization of your operation will of course depend on your objectives and in consultation with the armament.
