We had a great time with Yoann and his boat. He was super professional, fun, and helped us out a lot with our photo shoot. I would definitely recommend renting his boat to anyone!

Gregoire was very accommodating and always answered queries promptly. I was not able to go on the boat, but Gregoire made changing the contract to another member of the group very easy. Overall great.

The fact that the boat was on the island of Embiez was great for us, because we were able to adapt the navigation to the weather conditions. Indeed, with a strong South-South East wind strengthening all week, we decided to go to Saint Mandrier, where we were able to be sheltered from the wind, and ensure safe outings. Without this location, we would have been able to do many fewer outings.
Le fait que le bateau soit sur l'île des Embiez a été super pour nous, car nous avons pu adapter la navigation aux conditions météorologiques. En effet avec un fort vent Sud-Sud Est forcissant toute la semaine, nous avons décider d'aller à Saint Mandrier, où nous avons pu être à l'abri du vent, et assurer des sorties en sécurité. Sans cette emplacement, nous aurions pu faire beaucoup moins de sorties.

First telephone contact to organize the outing, very pleasant and professional. Warm welcome ashore with welcome coffee. Clear safety briefing to make participants responsible for the progress of the activity. Morning of navigation. Anchorage in Villefranche harbor, swimming and meals. Afternoon of navigation to return to port. Hot drink before parting. We had a great time, the experience of our hosts allowed us to discover the world of sailboats, with the navigation part and also through the anecdotes. The boat is comfortable and well maintained, the meal was tasty and well presented. Thanks to Stéphane and Virginie, we discovered and greatly appreciated the magic of sailing.
Au départ de Beaulieu, nous avons découvert : Monaco et la tête de chien depuis la mer. Saint Jean Cap Ferrat avec, le petit cap, la baie des fosses, le grand cap, le phare, la villa Santo Sospir. La baie de Villefranche et le cap de Nice.

We have done this several times before and it is always so enjoyable. Too bad the wind didn't allow us to push to Port-Cros this time.
Nous l'avons déjà fait à plusieurs reprises et c'est toujours aussi agréable. Dommage que le vent ne nous ait pas permis de pousser jusqu'à Port-Cros cette fois.
