We had a fabulous day trip on the kapalouest - with 12 kids in tow it could have been hectic but they had a ball and we felt safe the entire time. The crew were great, the boat was spacious and comfortable, and we really couldn't have asked for more - thank you!

Thank you for the availability, the boat was perfectly clean and like new! In addition, he didn't consume much which is a real plus.

Florent was an absolute gentleman. He organised someone to help translate on initial paperwork and handover. The boat is as advertised, clean , in impeccable condition, and well equipped with GPS and Fish Finder. We had a great day out and Florent was waiting at the berth to assist us on our return. I would highly recommend Florent should you wish to hire a vessel in La Rochelle. David Byrne.

It was a great experience here on the waves of La Rochelle. Stéphane is a super nice guy and everything worked smoothly. Our group of 3 people spent a great time onboard: we visited Vieux Port, watched sunset and crossed some waves. The ship handles nicely on water (20 knots of wind and 2-meter waves were OK), it is roomy and stable, and easy to handle - so thumbs up from me! See you next time!
