We had a fantastic afternoon with Roberto on his boat. He took us to see Monaco from the water and had great facts about all the celebrity villas on the coastline. He was so relaxed and friendly. We stopped to swim twice which was needed in the heat! Would recommend Roberto without doubt.

Gilles responded quickly when communicating. Easy transfer to the boat and a lovely day trip. Gilles.shared his knowledge about the area and wanted the day to be successful for each one of us.

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!

My family and I had a fantastic day with Maxime and Dolly. My son sailed the boat for a good 40 minutes until we settled in for a day of diving and snorkelling amongst the Lerin Islands.

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.
