Once at sea, we were amazed by the beauty of the surrounding landscapes. The lake, with its turquoise waters and green banks, offers a breathtaking panorama. We sailed peacefully, taking the time to admire the nature around us. Maxim had recommended several stops, and we decided to explore some isolated coves, perfect for a refreshing swim.

A very good trip with Audran. I booked his boat to act as a support boat to be next to us whilst swimming with my son from Lausanne to Evian. He arrived early, did a great job matching our pace and was very helpful. It helped that he had a low speed engine as well as a main engine. A great trip and me and my son both completed the swim in under 6 hours. Lovely clear warm water, fabulous day.

We had a really enjoyable day on Lake Annecy. Mavrick provided good communication throughout. Was a real highlight of our trip and wake boarding was a real bonus. The boat had plenty of space and seating areas. Will be booking again when we are in the region.

Our day on Jean-Marc’s boat was very enjoyable. Jean-Marc was very helpful and amenable, he communicated very well and we had a lovely morning sailing. The wind dropped in the afternoon and we ended up motoring back to the port but this did not spoil our day out. The lake is beautiful and we wouldn’t hesitate to go back. Thank you Jean-Marc.

Une fois en mer, nous avons été émerveillés par la beauté des paysages environnants. Le lac, avec ses eaux turquoise et ses rives verdoyantes, offre un panorama à couper le souffle. Nous avons navigué paisiblement, prenant le temps d’admirer la nature qui nous entourait. Maxim nous avait recommandé plusieurs arrêts, et nous avons décidé d’explorer quelques criques isolées, parfaites pour une baignade rafraîchissante.
