la Baie de Quiberon is famous in Naval history for the famous battle of 1795 when in appalling conditions Sir Edward Hawke destroyed a French fleet. Given a glance at modern charts it is easy to understand how so many ships with rudimentary navigation, and in the dark, could have been lost on the numerous islands, islets, rock reefs and isolated rocks around and south of the Quiberon Peninsula.
However this should not put the cruising yachtsman off, as all navigational hazards are well charted and marked, and entering this bight in the coastline from the north is easy, paying attention to the tidal streams through the Teignouse passage. From the south and west it is straightforward. There are several major yachting centres in the bay, the beautiful navigable canalised Vilaine River, and the Morbihan inland sea.
The marinas are, clockwise, Port Haliguen, la Trinite, Vannes, Crouesty, Piriac, and la Turballe. There are many anchorages, and minor drying harbours.
Local Weather
The weather is benign, hot in summer, with strong sea breezes, and associated land breezes. Winter brings the normal procession of frontal systems, though normally these are centred a bit further north.

Charts
Give charts applicable to this port or refer to a Chart section of another page (Country or Region) that lists the charts.
- Chart Source

- Chart No
Radio Nets
Also see World Cruiser's Nets.
Approaching Crouesty is straightforward, with no hazards that are not clearly charted, once in Quiberon Bay. Set a waypoint for the first of the Starboard hand channel buoys, or track 058 degrees to it. Two towers provide leading marks, with the rear grey concrete tower being clearly visible if approaching in the correct quadrant. At LW Springs (or coefficients around 45) just inside the entrance can be shallow with a Charted depth of 1.4m.
A strong southwesterly causes a bit of a build-up, and a swell runs into the entrance.
Check-in facilities (for Customs and Immigration)
If this is not a port of entry omit this section, otherwise submit details about facilities for checking in - location of immigration & customs, etc.

Describe here the berthing options of this port. Are there moorings or you have to anchor? Do most boats moor side-to, stern-to, or bow-to? Etc.

Above the Capitainerie is the "Yacht Club", though like almost all such places in France is not exclusively for Yachtsmen, and is open the the public.
