With guest musicians

The event mixes sailors shanties with live music from all over the world. Wooden boats fill the harbour basin and forests of masts fly colourful flags.
This 8 night, 9 day voyage has over 250 miles of sailing. There will be some special guest musicians on board who are also sailors, so we can enjoy our own on board entertainment when the moment suits. (More details to follow)

You can join Tallulah for the event of the summer in 2025. Sail from Cornwall to the Granite Rose coast of Brittany on a proper offshore adventure to Paimpol ‘Chant du Marin’ Festival. This is an intense music experience over a 3 day weekend, contrasting with the peace of night sails and offshore sailing. Paimpol is an old deep sea trawler port where sailing ships would cross the Atlantic to fish the Grand Banks. Many a shanty and folk song has been written about Paimpol’s own sailors, and musicians and singers from around the world add their own stories. A nautical Glastonbury like gathering for all who sail the oceans.

max 6 guests in single berths and one double bed fore cabin. Solo travellers welcome.

Ideal voyage for:

Keen sailors and hardy musicians who want a taste of offshore passage making on a swift 44ft pilot cutter, and to arrive in Paimpol feeling like a proper sailor. This is more than just sea shanties. If you love acoustic music from all over the world, Irish fiddles, Brazillian drum bands and sad gipsy songs from Eastern Europe then you get the vibe. There is a reason why every traditional sailing ship skipper wants to be at this gathering.

Highlights:

  • 8 night voyage over 9 peak summer days
  • Starts and finishes in St Mawes – Tallulah’s home port
  • Brittany anchorages on route like Sept Isles or Isle de Brehat
  • Lezardrieux is another great stop as ships start to gather
  • Get into the rhythm of passage-making & night sailing
  • Lock into the festival basin – a sea of wooden masts
  • spacious wooden pilot cutter with max 6 guests
  • live music, dancing, street food & entertainment
