In Brest, the schooner La Recouvrance offers several food-focused sailings in the rade in 2026. The most complete format is the full-day outing with a meal, from 10:00 to 17:00, with a basket prepared by a caterer and served on board during the sailing. Sunset outings also include an aperitif buffet at sea at sunset.
Which option should you choose?
The day with catering is listed at €113 per adult in 2026. After boarding and the briefing, the schooner sails all morning, then lunch is served at around 12:30 before setting off again for the afternoon. Some dates also offer a Sunset evening, generally around 19:00–22:00, with an aperitif buffet available to passengers.
Where do you board?
Departure is from Quai du Commandant Malbert, 29200 Brest. La Recouvrance is the city's ambassador ship and sails with a professional crew.
Before you book
Not every day automatically includes a meal: some dates offer a catered basket, others a picnic brought by passengers. You therefore need to explicitly choose a date with catering. Helping with sailing manoeuvres is possible but never compulsory.
A little extra
Here, you do more than have lunch on a boat: you spend a full day aboard a traditional schooner, with the option to help the crew.
