Brief description of the holiday

Cruise Details Hello and welcome!
I propose you to participate in a 6-day discovery cruise of the famous Channel Islands .

From St Malo we will take the direction of Jersey, our stops will take us from Guernsey , through Herm and Sark , and if the weather is favorable we can push to Alderney . Then return to Saint-Malo.

Aboard the sailboat you can participate in all the maneuvers, according to your desires or you settle comfortably and observe at leisure the fauna and the surrounding flora. On shore, you can fully enjoy the moment, you have the choice to go hiking, sightseeing, or just relax on the beach. This program is subject to change by the skipper depending on the weather conditions.

Itinerary and roll out of the cruise :

1st day :
Departure from St Malo in the morning to Jersey. Stopover in Jersey and small discovery hike through the island. Exceptional shot and photo of the famous lighthouse of Corbière and passage near the castle Elisabeth.

2nd day :
Departure depending on the currents and heading to Guernsey 17 miles away or 4 hours of navigation. A new stop on the ground to discover there is the most beautiful island of the Channel Islands. To see the magnificent castle of Cornet and Fort Gray, or visit Hauteville House, the house where stayed Victor Hugo during his exile.

3rd day :
After a night spent at anchor or at the port, you can stop at Herm for lunch and swim at the beach or stroll on the island, then anchor at the wonderful island of Sark.

4th day :
Visit Sark, an island far from everything, which was still led by a lord until 2009. No car but carriages, no bus but carriages, no bitumen but dirt roads. To see the famous cut, narrow path of 3m overlooking the sea on both sides over 80m, the window on the rock, the gardens of the Seigneurie, the starry sky devoid of light pollution. These are some aspects of this island from another time. At the end of the day, depending on the currents among the most powerful, we can sail to Alderney.

5th day :
Stop on the ground and visit the island such as Fort Clonque and Fort Tourgis. Then return to Sark or Jersey.

6th day :
Back to St Malo through the beautiful Chausey, the opportunity may be to see some seals and dolphins.

The boat

Randonneur

cabins: 3
toilets: 1

length: 12m

It is a boat designed for the trip drawn without worry of gauge. Everything has been done to obtain a fast boat while respecting the specifications for the big cruise, that is to say a sailboat, with a great stability of road, the capacity to support a heavy load, and a great solidity for the security needed for this program.

Although having a reinforced sampling, the boat is lighter than a standard construction thanks to its method of construction in epoxy wood composite, according to the method of strip planking. It is a fiberglass / red cedar / epoxy resin sandwich that combines a compromise between lightness, rigidity, strength, and insulation.

Despite its travel boat program, it has been designed and built with real performance concerns that bring pleasure, feel, and safety. Its hull is reminiscent of those from offshore racing and influenced the architecture of the first Class 40 and many current cruisers.

Reviews of Jean Luc

14 reviews
10 / 10

Jean-Luc is a Skipper whose professionalism is beyond doubt. Thanks to his explanations, we had the great pleasure of participating in the maneuvers and offering ourselves unforgettable sensations. Jean-Luc knows how to take into account the feelings of his passengers to adapt the cruise and make it as pleasant as possible. It was a great moment of our holiday.

Beautiful cruise on the Channel Islands and Cornish coasts .... Jean Luc allowed us to discover very charming anchorages .... Friendly atmosphere on board.. I recommend sandrine

Great journey! Great skipper! Superb relaxing atmosphere with the crew! Great sailboat! Everything to be taken by the Sea Nature with pleasure! Discovery of type of holiday to redo because very informative, exciting, breathtaking landscapes by constantly having a diversity of new paintings, perfect for the mind! What a richness! Thank you!

We had a very pleasant cruise with Jean-Luc. These two days were very rich and despite almost no experience on our part in sailing, the skipper was able to teach us some basics and we were able to participate in the maneuvers: hoist the mainsail, drop the moorings, hold the helm, keep the course (well, almost) ... Very professional and with great experience, you immediately feel safe on board. Passionate, he does not hesitate to share his experiences and advice for those who wish to go further, to take the time to explain, to learn ... and to make people dream. A unique adventure, an exceptional setting, and despite a variable weather, a great memory! Thank you very much!

I will keep from this 5-day cruise under the leadership of Jean-Luc an excellent memory. Jean-Luc is a seasoned skipper with whom you feel totally safe. He knows how to adapt to the expectations of his passengers. He likes to share his passion and has guided us in learning to sail with a lot of pedagogy, patience and kindness. It is also a pleasant travel companion with whom we spent good moments of conviviality, was able to discover the islands in which we stopped. I will also keep an emotional memory of his coconut curry shrimp! Everything was perfect!

What to say, except that everything was perfect! And honestly I'm not exaggerating. Jean Luc was kind enough to share his passion for sailing with us and he made us discover his little secrets of navigation, wonderful places, his little dishes .... His benevolence, his professionalism, his ability to adapt, his daily good mood, his patience, his adaptability ... (the qualifiers are numerous) allow a daily fluidity. he knew how to put himself at the level of each of us. We took pleasure in exchanging around sailing, but his playground is much larger, he knows small anchorages away from the crowds, the islands, the sea and the coast have no secrets for him. He managed to get the mayonnaise to take with the whole crew. Jean Luc for all this Chrystelle and I thank you for the excellent moment you offered us.

I came to discover Brittany and travel a few nautical miles for my license. Jean-Luc is a great skipper, in addition to mastering his subject, he knows how to adapt to the desires of his crew. I learned bcp of things from Jean-Luc about navigation, tides, currents, etc ... He is very pedagogue, he takes pleasure in teaching you. I had a lot of fun on his Randonneur, a sailboat that has a very good marine behavior. Certainly, he will see me again. See you soon. Nicholas

A big thank you to Jean-Luc for this weekend at sea! We left with a friend looking for a cruise as sporty as relaxing and we were not disappointed. Jean-Luc is an attentive, warm and pedagogical skipper who adapts to each of your desires and allows you to spend a moment out of time lulled by the waves ???? See you soon for new adventures J-L, kiki and soso

Superb moment spent at sea, thanks in particular to Jean-Luc, very pleasant skipper, always attentive to share his passion that is Sailing. Really very enriching cruise both human and technical.

All the ingredients for a successful stay... On the sea side, Jean Luc is a passionate and exciting sailor. Patient and pedagogue, he enthusiastically transmits his knowledge of navigation. Attentive and generous host, Jean Luc warmly welcomed us into his interior. Natural and relaxed, Jean Luc is anxious to please... well, successful bet! These qq days of vacation were in line with my expectations... discoveries, relaxation and beautiful encounters with dolphins present in numbers. To be renewed as soon as possible.

I thank jean luc for his patience and the pleasure he gives to share his passion

Beautiful discovery of the Channel Islands. Spacious and comfortable boat, participation in maneuvers, stopovers in beautiful places, hikes in the islands. Beautiful weather... and dolphins as a bonus!

Cruise of 4 days to sail with Jean-Luc, according to the wind. Excellent cruise, because of the number of passengers we were all able to participate in the maneuvers and learn the basics of sailing. Jean-Luc is attentive to the wishes of the passengers, he is welcoming, pleasant having a good fast boat. Not to be missed.

Thanks to Jean-Luc thanks to whom we spent four days of very pleasant sailing. Friendly skipper, serious and pedagogue. Very good boat, original and efficient. Highly recommended.
