Overall rating
Fantastic cruise to Les Saintes and Marie-Galante. Colibri is very comfortable, spacious, and sails beautifully. Excellent welcome and communication with Laurent, remotely during the booking process for all information, remote video tutorials for handover, and support at the marina for departure and return.
Colibri is a very well-equipped boat, a good performer, and ideal for sailing in the Caribbean. The watermaker is a real bonus. Laurent is very friendly and accommodating, and will even send you short videos to illustrate certain technical aspects on board!
The boat is old and poorly maintained: I had to reattach a mainsail batten before departure, and a second one popped out of its housing when we first unfurled the mainsail. The anemometer is unusable, and the autopilot changes direction suddenly and uncontrollably: don't use it near the coast or downwind. The windlass jams randomly: not exactly reassuring when you're at anchor... On a daily basis, there's a major odor problem: the holding tank stinks throughout the cabin. To top it all off, the owner wasn't there for check-in: we couldn't do a joint inspection, but that didn't stop him from deducting imaginary damages from my deposit. But otherwise, Guadeloupe is a beautiful place to sail :)
A very seaworthy boat I was delighted to skipper this boat Laurent is very responsive to our requests
Great stay! ? We spent 2 nights in Marie-Galante and 2 nights in Les Saintes. The boat is really great. It sails really well and the equipment is top quality! Very pleasant to pilot, especially with the AIS. Inside, every comfort. We lacked nothing. Also, Laurent and his assistant Sylvain were super responsive, always there and promptly. I recommend! ??
A wonderful stay on Laurent's boat. More than matched the description, this boat is absolutely perfect for cruising the Caribbean! A safe, well-maintained, and very well-equipped boat. Laurent is attentive and available; I highly recommend this experience, which we won't soon forget!
Good boat for sailing, some points to improve in terms of interior layout, exchange with the owner, very friendly and attentive, easy communication ??

Bonjour je m'appelle Laurent j'ai 43 ans, je suis mordu de nautisme sous toutes ses formes, je suis moniteur de wakeboard et j'ai un bateau de ski nautique modifié pour le wakeboard et le Wake surf. J'ai également un voilier de 12 m pour découvrir toutes les îles des Antilles ! Je suis un ancien mécanicien avion, et je vie entre le bassin d'Arcachon et la Guadeloupe. Wakeboard, wake-surf, plongée, apnée, kitesurf et voiles sont mes principaux loisirs. J'ai des bateaux depuis depuis 20 ans, leur utilisation c'est vraiment intensifier depuis 10 ans avec au moins 100 heures de navigation par an, et je me suis mis à la voile il y a 4 ans pour découvrir une toute autre vision de la navigation. J'envisage de découvrir le continent nord-américain en voilier ( 5 grands lacs ) mais également profiter des lacs intérieur pour pratiquer le wakeboard.
