Summer car boot sale organized by the Carantec Pleasure Boat Association
Every July, the Carantec Pleasure Boat Association organizes its car boot sale and sea flea market at the Salle du Kelenn. This summer event combines classic second-hand items and used nautical equipment in this marina in the bay of Morlaix. Admission €1.50 (free for under 12s), from 8 am to 6 pm.
Carantec, in summer, is a lively seaside resort and a popular marina on the bay of Morlaix. Each season, the town welcomes hundreds of pleasure boaters, divers, and sailing enthusiasts who stop over or stay in this enchanting setting. It is in this maritime spirit that the Carantec Pleasure Boat Association organizes its annual car boot sale in July, with a distinctive nautical dimension: the famous "sea flea market".
The event takes place at the Salle du Kelenn, Carantec's multi-purpose hall ideally located. The exhibitors, whose number varies from year to year, offer a dual selection: on one hand, the classic car boot sale with clothes, crockery, toys, books, and household items; on the other hand, used marine equipment – navigation accessories, nautical equipment, sea clothes, fishing gear, models, and decorative items related to the sea. This specificity gives the market an original character, consistent with Carantec's identity.
The day runs from 8 am to 6 pm, leaving plenty of time to explore everything. The early opening at 8 am is appreciated by serious bargain hunters who know that the best finds go early. Admission is set at €1.50, free for children under 12, making it an accessible event for families on holiday in Carantec or the surrounding area.
Light refreshments are available on-site for visitors and exhibitors, allowing you to take a break between finds. Carantec's summer atmosphere – sun on the rocks, smell of iodine, children in swimsuits – gives this car boot sale a particularly pleasant character. It is easy to combine it with a walk on the Kelenn beach or a stroll towards the tip of Pen al Lann.
The Carantec Pleasure Boat Association brings together boat owners who frequent the port and moorings of the town. By organizing this annual car boot sale, it helps to finance its activities and to liven up the town beyond simple nautical activities. The event creates a bridge between the boating community and the inhabitants and visitors of Carantec, fostering the summer conviviality that has made this popular resort in northern Finistère famous.
In July 2026, the Pleasure Boat Fishermen's Car Boot Sale and Sea Flea Market returns to the Salle du Kelenn in Carantec. A summer day of bargain hunting combining second-hand items and nautical equipment, from 8 am to 6 pm. Admission €1.50, free for under 12s.
