In early August, northern Brittany is at its most beautiful: long summer days, fresh sea air, and ideal conditions for a sailing trip. Come aboard the Zephyr and join us on a varied journey from Paimpol to the fascinating Channel Islands.

After the crew welcomes you and you’ve settled into your cabin, it won’t be long before we hear, “Cast off!” From the Breton coast, we’ll set sail for the Channel Islands, where a unique blend of British charm, French flair, and stunning natural beauty makes every visit special.

The wind determines the exact route. Perhaps we’ll explore the harbors of Jersey, the spectacular coastline of Guernsey, or the idyllic island of Sark. It is precisely this flexibility that makes a traditional sailing trip so appealing: every voyage is unique.

Anyone who wants to can actively participate in life on board— setting sails, steering, or helping with navigation. No prior experience is necessary; the experienced crew will be happy to teach you the basics of traditional sailing.

In the evenings, we enjoy the special atmosphere in small island harbors or while anchored in sheltered bays. Sharing meals, engaging in good conversation, and taking in the view across the water make these moments a special part of the trip.

According to eventful days Between Brittany and the Channel Islands, the Zephyr returns to Paimpol. On board: fresh sea air, unforgettable memories, and the unique feeling of having explored one of Europe’s most beautiful island regions under sail.

The ZEPHYR was launched in 1931 as the motor galliot Bente. She initially sailed the Baltic Sea and later transported general cargo to the picturesque fjords of Norway until 1992. After her time as a cargo ship, she was lovingly converted into a comfortable sailing ship for passenger travel in the Netherlands. Today, the ZEPHYR presents itself as a stylish two-masted schooner with a maritime character and a touch of adventure. The newly designed seating area on the middle deck in particular invites you to linger and enjoy together during the journey and on warm summer evenings - whether it's with a glass of wine, a good conversation or simply a view of the sea. Below deck, a rustic saloon in maritime style welcomes guests - ideal for convivial evenings in a cozy atmosphere. The well-equipped kitchen leaves nothing to be desired, and the exceptionally spacious cabins offer an unusually large amount of space and comfort for a traditional ship of this type - here you can not only sleep well, but also really relax. Captain Jan and his dedicated crew put their heart and soul into organizing individual trips - a perfect mix of relaxation, sightseeing and active sailing. Whether falling dry on the mudflats, anchoring in secluded bays or visiting idyllic harbor towns: On the ZEPHYR, every trip becomes a special experience.
