The shipyard features a glassed-in hangar, allowing the public to follow the exceptional work of the carpenters and cabinetmakers.
Le Guip, a shipyard established on the quayside of the commercial port since 1991, has a glass hangar of over 1,000m2 that opens onto the Quai Malbert, allowing the public to follow the exceptional work of the carpenters and cabinet-makers, a team of several specialists with recognized expertise. All members of this team, passionate about wooden boats and traditional construction, work under the watchful eye of Yann Mauffret, a marine carpenter who, during his long career, has built and restored many prestigious sailing yachts. Boats of all sizes can be built or renovated using traditional wooden shipbuilding methods. The shipyard, which was awarded the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) label in 2008, continues to see superb vessels pass through its workshops. The Recouvrance, Brest's ambassador ship, a faithful reproduction of a 19th-century schooner, was built here in 1992. The Notre-Dame-de-Rumengol was given a facelift, as were the Fée de l'Aulne and the Saint-Guénolé (the last sailing shellfish in the harbor, classified as a historic monument in 1993). 2014 saw the renovation of the French Navy training ship, L'Étoile, while 2015 and 2016 saw the renovation of La Belle Poule, built in 1932.
