These guys, Hans and his mate Eric were absolute gems.. highly recommend for an afternoon/evening on the water. I don’t hype anything, but these guys are worth visiting again . Responsive on pre boarding and picked us up in the perfect location. Hans, Eric, and SamBoat for the win!

A really lovely experience from start to finish. I’d certainly recommend hiring the add-on floating platform that the kids really enjoyed jumping off and which also made it easier for them to re-enter the boat. The Capitainerie at L’Ile des Embiez was really easy to call and book a free docking space for a lunch stop.

We had an absolutely fantastic day sailing with Christian! We were a group of 6 adults and 3 children, and he made sure everyone had a wonderful time from start to finish. Communication before the trip was excellent - Christian was always quick to respond, friendly, and very easy to coordinate with. On the day of the charter, he shared his extensive knowledge of the Bay of Saint-Tropez and took us to beautiful spots that made for an unforgettable sailing experience. Kids also loved it! He also went above and beyond by helping us find a great restaurant, arranging a boat taxi, and making sure everything throughout the day went smoothly. His professionalism, local knowledge, and relaxed, welcoming personality made us feel completely at ease. We can highly recommend Christian to anyone looking for an outstanding day on the water. We would sail with him again anytime!

We have never had a boat of this new! They have an excellent fleet that is very very new. The man who runs the charter company is incredibly responsive, answering questions whenever they come up. Would absolutely use this charter company again.

We went to Les Embiez, pretty coast, beautiful anchorages. The GPS with cartography and navigation route is very practical, thanks again to Philippe
