Now you can sample outstanding wines, craft beers, ciders, and local food as you sail from one picturesque English Channel port to another on an extraordinary seven-day maritime adventure. Starting at Saint-Malo, a historic town on France’s Brittany coast, you’ll soak up some of the charm and liquid temptations of western France before setting sail for the Channel Islands one of our beautiful 46-f
oot pilot cutters. These amazing classic yachts, dubbed by some “the finest sailing boats ever designed,” feature updated kitchens, bathrooms, and electronics, but still retain plenty of varnished wood, traditional rigging, and a singular old-world character that’s frankly hard to describe. You simply have to spend time on a cutter to fully appreciate the experience. Our expert skippers will teach you how to sail, or let you take the wheel if you’re an old salt. When you stand on deck at full sail, wind in your hair, you’ll have the opportunity to relish a rare exhilaration. And as you spend evenings enjoying the atmosphere and libations of the local pubs and cafés, you’ll truly leave life’s stresses thousands of miles away. Plus, there are all the added benefits: historic sites to explore, charming streets to wander, and surprising shops to investigate. Or, if you prefer, you can hike the island paths and discover hidden crescent bays where you can get some sun or take a dip in crystal clear water. Of course, at the end of the week, there's always Paris, London, or the Côte d'Azur on your way home. Reserve your place today! What's this? You'd prefer a Scottish distillery cruise instead?
