Southern Brittany is a tourist’s paradise, a sailor’s dream. But navigating its small marinas and harbours with a 15m boat? More challenging than it may seem. Yet, Colin and Linda Le Conte found it to be an ideal spot to discover onboard their newly obtained, majestic Princess V50, Echo Beach. Their voyage, however, was marked by hurdles such as fuel accessibility, with local pumps enforcing a card limit of €180.

Meanwhile, across the waters, Duncan and Sophie Fergusson embarked on a different journey, as they bought their first motor yacht.
