Port la Forêt

VHF Canal 9

Opposite the Glénan Isles, nestling deep in the bay of Concarneau and La Fôret, the jewel of the Côtes de Cornouailles, Port La Fôret provides shelter for more than 1000 boats in an exceptional, well-sheltered natural site.
Port La Fôret is accessible at all states of the tide, and shelters fishing vessels and cruising yachts as well as professional ocean racers.
Indeed, the best Figaro yachts and 60 ft ocean racers, single and multi-hulled, are based here.

A zone to provide berthing for boats with a draught of 5 m is now under construction.

Equipped with all the required infrastructure, bringing together all the skills and trades in yachting, Port La Fôret is THE yachting centre in southern Brittany.

Port La Fôret is the ideal base for your cruises, whether you are arriving, or leaving for the north and the mer d’Iroise and Scilly, or south to Morbihan, the islands and on to Spain, or simply the Glénan isles and the creeks of southern Britanny.
