Christophe is a super accommodating owner, available if necessary but without being omnipresent, in love with his boat, who takes great care of it and knows how to share all his experience, his advice and his tips. This is very reassuring for a novice like me. The boat is super comfortable, with its large outdoor kitchen/living area and the huge sundeck at the front. Big favorite!
