Record-making Port
Lined by an outstanding 18,000 hectare natural harbour, traditionally Brest has been a harbour from where great records start or finish: Many are today's great sailors to set off on their ocean adventures on board ultramodern boats whose leading edge materials and technology have often be developed by internationally recognized companies from Brest. A theatre for great nautical events, and land of scientific and maritime excellence, Brest is now the leading marina in Brittany, with 2,200 moorings divided among the “Château Marina” and “Moulin Blanc Marina”. It is also an important sailing centre in Brittany. 8,500 sailors set off on more than 60,000 sailing trips every year and take part in 108 days of racing.
