SKEAF is a society, which offers participation projects for young and social work.
Over the tourist office at Douarnenez, you can book sailing trips for 4 hours or the whole day during the summer season in the Bay of Douarnenez.
Skeaf is the largest classic yacht that sails in Brittany, and probably on the Atlantic coast.
Skeaf is a classic ketch 30 meters long and 350 m² of sail area which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. It flies the French flag and is N.U.C. (Collective Use Vessel). She is maneuvered by two experienced sailors who have graduated from the merchant navy.
You can access the interior of the boat by a staircase that opens into a passageway which serves the cabins and the saloon.
Skeaf has 16 bunks divided into 6 cabins. The bins are superimposed. Pillows are available to passengers, but everyone should bring a sleeping bag and pillowcase.
A kitchen equipped with a stove with oven and a refrigerator makes it possible to prepare good meals together. Everyone participates in collective tasks according to their affinities and abilities (peeling, cutting, preparing dishes, setting the table, serving or crockery).
Meals are taken in the saloon around the mahogany table which expands to make room for guests, or on the deck.
