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 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!

An unforgettable day thanks to Sébastien! He was incredibly accommodating, very friendly, and above all, a genuinely kind person. He did everything to ensure our boat trip went perfectly. Ideal weather, fantastic wakeboarding, and a simply magnificent region. Thank you again for this superb experience; we'll definitely be back!

Pleasant and without any particular difficulty, except the pontoons before the locks which are often a little limited and sometimes even lack real mooring possibilities...
Agréable et sans difficulté particulière , sauf les pontons avant les écluses qui sont souvent un peu limites et manquent même quelques fois de vraies possibilités d'amarrage ...

Really pleasant sailing area, mostly sheltered thanks to the island of Oléron. Many points of interest to discover (Fort Boyard, Ile d'Aix, Ile d'Oléron with its small marina in Boyardville, Ile de Ré, ...). Very pleasant also to sail near other magnificent sailboats quite numerous in the bay.
Zone de navigation vraiment agréable, en majeur partie abrité grâce à l'ile d'Oléron. De nombreux points d'intérêts à découvrir (Fort Boyard, Ile d'Aix, Ile d'Oléron avec notamment son petit port de plaisance à Boyardville, Ile de Ré, ...). Très agréable aussi de naviguer près d'autres magnifiques voiliers assez nombreux dans la baie.

When the sea is a little rough, it is rather advisable to go towards the north (the Landes beaches). The coast is less original, seen from the sea but the return will be easier....
Lorsque la mer est un peu agitée, il est plutôt conseillé d(aller vers le nords ( les plages landaises). La côte est moins originale, vue de la mer mais le retour sera plus facile....
