Roscoff's waters at 5 knots
The Île de Batz channel, a corridor of currents between the old corsair town and the market-garden island: that is the setting. Weather-wise: a Channel blowing from the west, the channel currents reversing hard with the tide — with 6 hp you pick the calm morning sea, and the exact area is drawn by the operator at the briefing.
Booking at the right moment
The useful season runs from June to September, pink onions and thalassotherapy as ports of call. Six-hp fleets being the smallest in the harbour, aim for the morning slot.
How it works

You then book directly with the operator, at no extra cost. To understand how the platforms differ, here is our comparison.
