2027 Dates & Fees
Our prices include on-board accommodations, meals, entrance fees, numerous on-shore activities in remarkable places—just about everything, not to mention the opportunity to sail extraordinary yachts effectively by yourself, with a little help from your crewmates. That’s a lot! You just have to get here.
Because we’re always at the mercy of weather and tides, no two QBE expeditions are exactly alike. But we cruise the French coastline between Saint-Malo and Lorient (on the south Breton coast), and this year we’ve added a new expedition to the British Channel Islands, near the Normandy peninsula. Our crew members help make specific destination decisions.
Everywhere we go, our expeditioners find plenty to discover and experience.

And in 2027—
A QBE Holiday Adventure…
QBE’s European Leadership School expeditions (www.elsleaders.com) spend two or three weeks building confidence, responsibility, teamwork, and leadership. This isn't quite the same thing. It’s the end-of-season return to our home port.
Without some of the QBE “secret sauce,” the “Homeward Voyage” is simply an exhilarating week of traditional sailing along the Granite & Emerald Coasts. Still, your teen can join a working crew, take the helm, learn the ropes, explore postcard harbors and islands, and experience the exceptional corner of France we call home.
Same gaff-rig boats. Same coastlines. Same spirit of adventure. Just a shorter, less ambitious voyage.
Brest to Saint Malo
16th–27th August, 2027
One Week
2,080€
Approx. US$2,400 / GB£1,800
