Port de Plaisance de Guidel

Guidel marina is sheltered by the Laïta estuary, on the border between Morbihan and Finistère. Set in a natural environment, it lies opposite the small port of Pouldu, most famous for having welcomed famous painters such as Paul Gauguin. An original marina boasting a great tranquillity. Extension work in progress: this 8 month long operation will result in an expanded marina, reaching a total capacity of 210 berths on pontoons, including 15 visitor berths. Guidel-Plages marina will be able to provide facilities that are safe and comfortable, and can accommodate vessels up to 12 metres in length. At a later date a careening zone will be built in the marina yard providing an additional service for its users. The new marina will be ready for summer 2015. A small marina just 500 meters from the mouth of the river Laïta, on the left bank, Guidel marina is completely sheltered.
