Fantastic day on the water with Remi— Booking and coordinating the trip through the platform was an incredibly easy experience. From the start, Remi was highly responsive and answered all of our questions ahead of time. His local suggestions for exploring the area were spot-on, and he is just a truly delightful person to spend the day with. My friend and I are native English speakers with very limited French, but communication with Remi was seamless (with all little help from Google Translate :)) We had a great day on the boat and highly recommend booking with him! Thank you, Remi!

The trip with Chris was magnificent! The boat is very comfortable and beautiful, and Chris is very helpful. We had a wonderful trip around the Pilat basin. I recommend it 100%!

We had an excellent day on the boat with Bertrand! The boat was spacious enough to accommodate the 8 of us. Bertrand took us around the bay and we had lunch at cap ferret. In the afternoon the kids enjoyed the bouée and the wakeboarding. I can definitely recommend renting with Bertrand!

Great experience with Guillaume and his boat. Good communication, flexible on start and finish time, explained the boat thoroughly and gave some tips to help me plan my route. Would recommend and will happily rent from him again.

We rented the boat to celebrate my 21st birthday and it did not disappoint! Stephane was so kind and decorated the boat with birthday decorations free of charge. I was able to connect to the Bluetooth speakers and play my own music. Stephane even let me help with the sails which was very fun! We even got a little extra time on the boat! The boat itself was very tidy and clean. 100% recommend!

The boat is in impeccable condition and very responsive, perfect for wakeboarding and tubing. Stephanie is very friendly and professional. I highly recommend her! However, due to a recent engine failure and subsequent replacement, it now has 225 hp instead of 300 hp, which doesn't detract from the boat's performance.

Everything went very well: new boat, easy and clear to learn, ideal location in the port, long day included (9am to 7pm), convenient not having to refuel at the end of the day, and a friendly and professional team
