The skipper was very good and kind. Even if we had very little wind we could perhaps have used a little more of what was there.

First sailing experience. It was very nice! With friends. We learned a lot about sailing at sea and how to handle the boat. But also, we went to some very beautiful places in the Var, so you can't ask for more. This first course makes you want to embark on another sailing adventure!

We had a great stay! Our skipper Nicolas listened to our expectations, he was able to adapt the itinerary according to our desires and taught us a lot about how the sailboat works. Benevolent, educational, funny... we will leave with him with our eyes closed!
