Sailing out of Saint-Malo

The playground: the bay of Saint-Malo and its island forts, subject to one of the greatest tidal ranges in Europe. Starting point: the Bas-Sablons marina in Saint-Servan and the lock-protected Vauban basin below the ramparts.

The wind to know

Upwind or down, reckon with a prevailing westerly and tidal streams that redraw the bay every six hours: that is what draws the local routes.

Do I need a license?

No license for sail in France, but demonstrable experience is required for bareboat rental.

Can you rent a sailboat without a license in Saint-Malo?
