One hour boat trip with a local (Commented FR & EN)
Overview
Available languages
1 hour
Mobile ticket
Hop aboard the boat for an authentic one-hour ride with Nicolas, a Saint-Malo child from a fishing family. Passionate about maritime history and the beauty of the Emerald Coast, Nicolas enthusiastically shares his knowledge and anecdotes about port life, the transformation of the city over the centuries and the hidden treasures of the region.
You will sail in a small group to enjoy an intimate and friendly experience. From the sea, Saint-Malo and Dinard reveal themselves from a unique angle: the bay and its villas, maritime forts such as the Petit Bé or the majestic ramparts of Saint Malo.
A perfect moment to live at the beginning of your stay to soak up the Falkland spirit and plan your next discoveries in the area.

5.00This was a very enjoyable and informative trip around St Malo and across the Estuary to Dinard. Nicolas, the Skipper, provided an excellent commentary in French and English revealing a comprehensive knowledge of the history of the port and its fortresses etc. An unexpected bonus was being served an espresso coffee and biscuits during the trip
Amazing trip! Great tour guide and overall experience! Incredible views

5.00Great trip!! So cool to see Saint Malo from the water!! A 25 min walk from the walled city to the boat which gave me a chance to check out the town and the greater Saint Malo area. The tour guide was incredible. He explained the history and drove us safely around the bay. 10/10

5.00This is a very enjoyable boat trip and a way to see St. Malo from another perspective. Our captain and host arrived promptly and greeted us with a smile, making us feel very welcome. He made sure we were warm and then gently motored around the sights, telling us in good English about the history associated with this beautiful town. Getting to and from the pick-up point added to the cost as we were staying in the old town. I would recommend this although it is a bit pricey for one hour.
Packed with facts!
