News Flash:

We have a berth available on Kotari from Portsmouth to La Rochelle 14th to 28th August. Give us a call to find out more.

With France just a day sail away we are spoilt for places to visit along the Normandy and Brittany coast.

Cherbourg is usually our first port of call. Only about 10 hours from Portsmouth it makes a good starting off point.

To the west are the Channel Isles that have their own charm and form a cruise all of their own. Just around the corner is charming Dialette, one of sailing’s best kept secrets – very few yachts go there!

A short sail further on takes us to Carteret. With a big tidal rise and fall, this has a delightful locked in marina. Here there are some lovely walks and a great choice of restaurants.

An alternative adventure is to go south east from Portsmouth to Fecamp – home of the Benedictine monastery – and then to travel west along the coast of Normandy.

This gives access to some of the prettiest little ports in northern France, and also the famous Normandy beaches used by the Allies for the D-day landings. Click here for our Normandy beaches cruise.

Whether you have a long weekend or a fortnight we can tailor make a French cruise to suit you and your party.
