We very much enjoyed our time with Benoit. We particularly enjoyed his love of sailing. Unlike other trips we've been on where the captain would tend to motor or motor sail, with Benoit's planning we were able to get a fun sail in almost every day. Couple minor things that are worth being aware of. 1. We didn't know that Benoit's wife and son would be onboard for the first two days and that his son would be onboard the whole time. She was really nice and their 7 year old son is a super sweet kid who helped me improve my french and it didn't detract - I just was suprised. The other minor thing to know is that Benoit's current boat doesn't have air conditioning or fans. We so happened to be onboard during a really hot week and sleeping was challenging. If we were planning again - we'd bring some battery powered fans! Overall we had a great experience, made 3 new friends, and got to explore beautiful coves and cute towns and got some great sailing in. Glad we found Bleu Marine!
