"Great experience. Laurent is very good advice and suggested a very nice excursion with many explanations about the basin and its oysters. Very appreciated! I highly recommend it."

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 a great afternoon. Punctuality, service, and client contact were brilliant. We faced trouble pulling back the anchor and the team came to help us very quickly.

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!

The boat was great (very convenient for 11 people) and the services very good. We enjoyed the afternoon wakeboarding and pulling a buoy. Both in perfect condition (the wake board shoes were difficult to tie but it was ok finally). Thank you.

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!

Don't hesitate to ask for advice, even if you know a little about the basin, the changes are rapid and quite surprising.

Very complete, you have to follow Xavier's navigation advice and download the e-navigation application to be at peace on the basin. the area towards the ban d'arguin and the dune is very beautiful but also going along the mimbau and Piquey is also very beautiful
