La Recouvrance

Stop just dreaming about it – come aboard!

The Recouvrance is a replica of an aviso, an early 19th-century military vessel designed to carry urgent notices and messages to the coasts of Africa and the West Indies.
Today, the schooner, crewed by five professional sailors, offers a wide range of sailing trips along the Atlantic coast, particularly in Brest harbour, departing from Quai Commandant Malbert.

Come aboard! From May to the end of September:
Cruises lasting from a few hours to a few days: weekly, daily, half-day or sunset (evening) cruises.
A chance to sail on an old sailing ship whilst taking part in the manoeuvres on board.

La Recouvrance welcomes all types of visitors of all ages: individuals, birthday parties, clubs, groups, works councils, seminars and meetings.
The programme and booking details are available on La Recouvrance’s website.

Tickets are on sale at the Brest Métropole tourist office and at La Recouvrance’s office at 55 Quai Eric Tabarly.
