Stay on the Blavet – Charming cruiser with terrace, for cruises or winter quay stays
Albatross is a lovingly restored 10-metre Dutch Pedro 30 cruiser, moored in the peaceful village of Saint-Nicolas-des-Eaux. With her wooden finishes, cosy interior and sunny terrace deck, she’s the perfect way to discover the beauty of the Blavet Valley — one of Brittany’s most enchanting waterways.
Sleeps: 4 adults + 1 child
Cabins: V-berth forward, double aft, and a narrower berth in the wheelhouse (ideal for a child)
Bathroom: Shower and toilet
Kitchen: Gas hob, fridge, full cookware and crockery
Features: Bow thruster, solar panel, diesel heating, 12V and shore power
Mooring: Private berth with electricity and free parking
A different kind of escape
Albatross isn’t part of a big fleet — she’s been restored by hand, with care and character, to offer something calmer, slower, and more personal.
From April to October, she’s ready for gentle self-drive cruising — no licence required. After a friendly handover and help through your first locks, you’ll be free to wander shaded towpaths, pause beneath stone bridges, and moor up in villages along the Canal de Nantes à Brest. All linen, towels, cleaning products, heating and hot water are included, along with a fully equipped kitchen, WiFi (where available) and TV with Firestick. A small welcome pack and souvenir logbook complete the experience.
When the locks close for winter (November to March), Albatross becomes a snug riverside hideaway. With diesel heating, a well-equipped kitchen and the quiet of Saint-Nicolas-des-Eaux just outside your door, it’s the perfect spot for walking, cycling, paddling or simply curling up with a book while the river flows past.
Along the way
On the cruising stretch you’ll find:
• Shady towpaths and old stone bridges
• Weekly markets in Baud and Pontivy
• The cliff-side Chapelle Saint-Gildas at Bieuzy
• Mini-golf and cafés in summer
• Direct access to the Véloroute 8 cycle path
Prefer to linger in the village? Saint-Nicolas-des-Eaux has year-round charm, with riverside cafés, walking paths and plenty of Breton character.
