Sailing in Les Glénan: wind, islands and… a dolphin called Randy

There are a thousand ways to get somewhere. But to go sailing in Les Glénan is to choose the one that has the taste of adventure, silence… and sometimes even the breath of a curious dolphin.

Dolphins with Sailcoop

Randy, a companion to the boats in Concarneau harbour 

Even before you hoist the sails, you’re often greeted by an unexpected guest: Randy, the lone dolphin in Concarneau harbour.
He glides between the hulls, makes circles in the water, and sometimes offers a wet wink to the morning passengers.

Will he accompany you all the way to Les Glénan? He might. But he decides. It’s a dolphin, not a taxi

Sailing to the Glénans: the smoothest of crossings 

Going to Les Glénan by sailboat means choosing a different pace. Most of the time, there are no roaring engines on board. Only white sails, wind and sea spray… And sometimes, the magical sight of Randy or his fellow dolphins through the trampoline net at the front of the boat! Time stretches. The islands are approaching. And you’re exactly where you were meant to be.

Sailing to Les Glénan is much more than just a trip! It’s a journey. It’s a different way of experiencing the sea. It could also be the story of how you come across a dolphin before you’ve even left the dock. Set sail with Sailcoop. And let Randy show you the way out of the harbour.
