License-free boating in Bénodet: the local waters
Bénodet opens onto a cruise unlike any other: the run up the Odet, often ranked among the loveliest rivers in France. A 6 hp boat is in its element here — waterside châteaux, Combrit cove, the wooded Vire-Court gorges, up towards Quimper depending on the tide. On the seaward side, Sainte-Marine faces the harbour, Trez beach fringes the town, and Mousterlin point is reachable in fine weather, about 3 miles away. The Glénan islands stay out of zone.
The smart plan is simple: go upriver on the flood and come back on the ebb — the current does the work and the fuel tank thanks you. Mooring buoys dot the Odet; anchor tidily outside the channel, which the tourist launches keep busy on fine days.
When to sail in Bénodet
