Yacht charter in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin · Beneteau — Oceanis 411 (1999)

Good value for money

Thank you, Philippe, for this unforgettable trip. We were able to visit the Jersey Zoo. We enjoyed the harbor festival in Dielette. Sincerely, Vassili and his friends.

Philippe welcomed us with a delicious dinner. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you :-)

Philippe is a true sea dog. Sometimes taciturn, but always kind, he will guide you safely to port. He knows the sailing area like the back of his hand, and he was able to propose a sailing plan tailored to my needs. We spent four wonderful days enjoying the Channel Islands as a family.

Very good navigation on Phil-Abel. Philippe knew how to juggle with the tides and currents to make us see Alderney, Guernsey and Sark with a magnificent anchorage. Thank you.

We spent 5 beautiful days aboard Phil-Abel. It allowed us to visit Jersey, Sark, Guernsey and Alderney with more than half of the time spent sailing and adapting to the weather and tides. Philippe welcomed us very well and even spoiled us (thanks again for the apple pie and homemade chips). He is a true Norman sailor! It is preferable to have some knowledge of sailing to understand the instructions and maritime vocabulary at the beginning (http://www.wiki-brest.net/index.php/Vocabulaire_maritime). Otherwise, it comes with time...

I had a great weekend with Philippe. A nice round trip to Alderney. Philippe is full of advice for those who know how to listen to it and very careful. THANKS!

Sailing with confidence on a well-equipped boat.

We had a pleasant stay, discovered the island of Alderney, just magnificent.!! It was a romantic weekend, and Philippe knew how to be a discreet host and leave us some moments as a couple. The boat is very well equipped. We couldn't sail as we had hoped, the weather was too good ? To do again! Philippe is a pirate sailor in his own way, a little gruff, and charming at the same time. What a real sailor!

well-equipped sailboat. good navigation. I would have liked to maneuver a little more.

Have a good sailing training weekend with Philippe. Friendly meals and aperitifs with him and his wife. We would have liked a little more sailing time but very nice in the end.

the skipper does not give enough explanation on what we are going to do, and the orders are not clear. he should look a little less at his phone and a little more at the external elements. to be completely safe, it lacks a magnetic steering compass in working order, a broken hull porthole to be repaired, and a working depth sounder.

Great browsing with Philippe. To be redone as soon as possible

Philippe's boat is well laid out and well equipped and Philippe knows his Oceanis 411 well. We had planned a 3-day weekend in connavigation. Unfortunately, a mechanical problem prevented us from going beyond the first day. Too bad, day 1 was promising with good wind conditions and dolphins! Attention, advice to tenants, note that the Normandy tides do not allow great flexibility in departure and arrival times. To be taken into account for your organization during a rental.

Very good choice

Philippe shared with us his passion for Phil-Abel and the region. We had a great time aboard Phil-Abel.

Thank you Philippe for this beautiful cruise. We had a great time. We were able to choose our itinerary and activities. Even if we didn't understand everything, we were able to steer and take part in the manoeuvres. To do again!

It was a great outing, with a very welcoming and professional captain. To do again very soon

A big thank you to Philippe and Martine for this memorable "surprise birthday cruise". The atmosphere was very nice, relaxed, Philippe was not left aside humor and Sylviane's excellent cuisine delighted us all. Philippe, you master perfectly your subject, with calm and rigor. Your boat is comfortable, very well equipped and very well maintained. All this is appreciable, we immediately felt at ease and in confidence. You knew how to make each of us participate to the extent of our skills. Me, you jostled me a little out of my comfort zone, but with intelligence, which I really appreciated, and I am rather proud now to have crossed the Phil Abel in the channel! Ludovic and I are very happy to have rediscovered sailing, with Sylviane, Christian, Martine and you ... Very happy with your comment and ready for a new cruise on board! Brigitte

Very nice weekend under the sun with a very nice skipper
