8th International Maritime Festival - Brest 2024

Brest 2024, the port where all the boats of yesterday, today and tomorrow converge: heritage boats, government ships, scientific vessels, traditional foreign fleets, luxury yachts, ocean-racing boats and more.

For the eighth time, the Fêtes Maritimes de Brest will bring together over a thousand boats from all over the world, bearing witness to the many ways in which mankind has, has and will continue to take to the water.
