At long last a new deep water marina has opened on the North Brittany coast. L’Aberwrac’h has long been a popular port of call for yachtsmen heading for South Brittany, as it provides sheltered moorings and is well placed to time a cruise through the notorious Chenal du Four. However it has been less popular with motor boaters, due to the lack of pontoons, electricity and shore access - we’re a bit soft, aren’t we?
This has all changed with the opening in July of the new marina with access at all states of tide and holding almost 300 boats, including 80 dedicated visitors berths and all the usual facilities. The marina is situated in a very picturesque estuary and I understand that the local Chamber of Commerce will be running a shopper bus service from the marina to a nearby town during the boating season.
I am sure this new facility will tempt more members to venture ’round the corner’ to the cruising delights of South Brittany.
