Yacht charter in Porquerolles · Robertson & Caine — Leopard 40 (2016)

This was my first ever private charter and simply put, I was so impressed with it. From the get go, I was very nervous with the whole trip as I would be in charge of a 40th birthday cruise for my wife and 4 of our closest friends (6 adults in total), with no sailing experience at all. Although French is his native tongue Francis’ relaxed nature came through with his replies and answered any of my initial questions. I wanted us all to simply relax while cruising from swimming/snorkelling spot to another, eating breakfast and lunch on the boat, before settling on a night spot, and going out for dinner. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Francis and welcomed aboard. Our first impressions of the catamaran were extremely impressed. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We unpacked while Francis disembarked from the port. Francis informed me that the weather was perfect and immediately his relaxed nature came through again which pleasantly worked its way into our group. The following 3 nights / 4 days were exactly what I had hoped. Glorious sunbathing while cruising on the water, enjoying and feeling in a luxury setting in a beautiful part of the world. What I hadn’t expected was just how experienced and knowledgeable Francis was of both being a captain, and the area. He perfectly suggested to right spots to stop in the right areas, both due to weather to experience the best sights at the right time, and for dinners when entertainment was at it’s best. The whole trip was a massive success and one I can truly recommend to anyone. Thank you Francis!
