Tour of Belle-Île 2014

This Saturday, May 10th, the 7th edition of the Tour de Belle-Île will open its doors, or rather "its port" to more than 500 boats. Amateurs, professionals, yachtsmen will all be gathered to sail together and to go around the island.

A festive and family navigation

The Tour of Belle-Île allows all boat lovers, whether professionals or amateurs, to be part of an expedition to discover the Island of Belle-Ile at sea from the waves. In the heart of the bay of Quiberon, from 10 am, more than 500 boats will start from the port of La Trinité-sur-Mer for a course of about 40 nautical miles (2 courses are possible according to the type of boat: the Grand Tour of 42 miles and the P'tit Tour of 39 miles). The only requirement to participate in this nautical discovery is to have a boat of at least 6 meters long.

In the evening, the participants and their families will be able to participate in a large organized meal.
