This experience, in a nutshell

The Chausey Islands archipelago is located near Saint-Malo and faces the majestic Mont Saint-Michel. Its appearance changes continuously according to one of the highest tides in Europe. At low tide, it is said that there are as many islets as there are days in the year, while at high tide, only a few are revealed. This dynamic makes each visit unique, revealing a singular beauty each time.


Despite its modest size, only the Big Island is inhabited. It is a haven of peace for those who appreciate serenity, the present moment and simple pleasures. Without cars, travel is done on foot, which makes it a privileged place for fishermen and swimmers in search of fine sandy beaches and crystal clear waters.


You can discover the house of the famous marine painter Marin Marie, as well as the fort restored by Louis Renault, the car manufacturer. The island also has a hotel, two restaurants, a grocery shop, and as on many islands, a lighthouse and a semaphore.


There is no port on the island; you must either moor at the buoys in the Sound, a channel separating the Big Island from its many islets, or anchor in front of one of the beaches or in other channels.



On board the sailboat you can participate in all the maneuvers, according to your desires or sit comfortably and observe the surrounding fauna and flora at your leisure. On land, you can enjoy the moment to the fullest, you have the choice to go hiking, sightseeing, or simply relax on the beach.


This program is subject to change by the captain depending on weather conditions.
