Absolutely fantastic, we had a lovely day out on the water. Vincent is a really lovely bloke and would very much recommend him to anyone that wants a boat in St Cyprien

Absolutely fabulous, we had an absolutely superb day with Seb. Wind wasn’t strong but it didn’t matter, the whole family enjoyed the boat and the company equally. It’s a vintage boat… so what, it’s a little rough around the edges, but it is full of character, just like Seb, and it was perfect for our family to spend a day on the sea in the Sun, soaking up the rays, dropping anchor, and diving in. Literally, we’ve had the best day and cannot recommend Seb, or any boat he captains enough!! We were complete novices, but he got all of us having a go and his relaxed style suited us perfectly. We give him 6 stars, and 11 out of 10!

We had a lovely time sailing La Bonica Vida. Pascal met us for the induction and explained everything very clearly, which ensured that things ran smoothly for the 5 days of sailing. The boat is old but well maintained. It was perfect for the three of us. I would highly recommend.

A great cruise of just under two weeks (for two people) on Alexis's First 22! We went down to Cala Sa Tuna, not far from Bégur on the Costa Brava. The boat is very responsive and really fun to steer. It's also comfortable, especially considering its size. Alexis was extremely accommodating and attentive, and gave very good advice. To do again!

All went really well and we had no problems with the boat. Lionel and Aurelie explained the working of the boat and contacted us regularly to ensure everything was OK

Dave was very responsive to our communications before the visit and this positive feeling continued throughout. We had a wonderful day on Cuba Libra and everything was perfect! From the warm welcome with coffee and pastries to the attention to detail with every individual guests needs. I would highly recommend renting with Dave for a fantastic experience.

Great experience on a beautiful catamaran. Laetitia and Philippe were very welcoming and accommodating for us to have a memorable stay. They were very chilled and created a great, relax atmosphere on the boat.

Mont Saint Clair allows you to prepare while being protected from the north wind and the same on the way back. Sète is a very beautiful city with very beautiful sailboats.
Le mont Saint Clair permet de se préparer en étant protégé du vent du Nord et idem au retour. Sète est une très belle ville avec de très beaux voiliers.

Carcassonne is wonderful. Capestang is worth a visit. Beziers centre is difficult to get to from the port.

Great destination. You have to quickly get away from the beaches that have no interest to reach the rocky coast and the coves after Cap Béard. Mention for the cove of Terrimbo where we slept which is well sheltered. You have to be careful of the seagrass and rocks for anchoring but the sandbanks are large enough and visible.
Super destination. Il faut vite s'éloigner des plages qui n'ont aucun intérêt pour rejoindre la côte rocheuse et les calanques après le Cap Béard. Mention pour l'anse de Terrimbo où nous avons dormi qui est bien abritée. Il faut faire attention aux herbiers et aux rochers pour le mouillage mais les bancs de sable sont suffisamment grands et visibles.
