Departing at 9:30 am from Trinité-sur-Mer, guests are welcomed aboard the Valmarelo with a breakfast featuring Breton cake, juice, and hot drinks.

Soft drinks including water, juice, sodas, and hot beverages are available throughout the day. An optional menu offers wine, champagne, beer, cider, cocktails, and tapas at extra cost.
