We had an incredible experience with Nicolas! Could not have asked for anything more. He has great suggestions of where to go, took amazing photos of us, offered us an alternative plan when the weather took an unexpected turn and offered us treats while we were on board. I don’t have enough nice things to say about Nicolas and his incredible boat!

We had a wonderful day sailing the Agrigates with Rogers. Would totally recommend this experience . The boat is lovely and Roger is a great captain. We had a very memorable day. Thanks so much.

Interesting area, almost no tidal constraints, bay sheltered by NW wind, proximity to Glénan, and numerous shelters or ports. Note that it has no mooring...made to moor to a buoy or pontoon. Possibility of sailing during the day and night at the port. Quite sharp boat, with runners that will delight sailors
Zone intéressante, quasi pas de contrainte de marée, baie abritée par vent de secteur NO, proximité des Glénan, et de nombreux abris ou port. A noter qu'il n'a pas de mouillage...fait pour s'amarrer a une bouée ou ponton. Possibilité de naviguer a la journée et nuit au port. Bateau assez pointu, avec bastaques qui réjouira les voileux

It was great to be able to see Fort Boyard and the island of Aix in the distance. Special mention for making a stop at the end of the cruise in the Old Port of La Rochelle.
C’était super de pouvoir apercevoir au loin le Fort Boyard et l’île d’Aix. Mention spéciale pour le fait de faire un arrêt en fin de croisière dans le Vieux Port de La Rochelle.
