Overall rating
We had asked for photos of the boat's interior but never received them. Once there, we were disappointed by the boat's cleanliness (especially the dirty sheets) and the outdated equipment (the fridge was broken, the tender engine was broken, etc.). Victor is a good sailor and teacher, but he left us and our children on board for the whole night in a cove, even though he had promised to be back before the wind picked up. He came back on board in a very drunken state and was very aggressive ("I don't give a damn that you were scared, what matters is my boat, I don't give a damn about the four of you"; "You're here on my floor, if you're not happy, you get out of here"...). We were shocked, and our children were scared. We had to cut our trip short.
We had a wonderful weekend! I am delighted to have spent these two days accompanied by other students from my meteorology school, as well as Victor and Maloe, who introduced the whole crew to the world of sailing. This release has much more to the whole group! Thank you both again for your teaching, for sharing your navigation skills and for your sympathy ;) Beyond the exceptional boat that this first 51 is, I highly recommend sailing on this beautiful sailboat accompanied by Victor and Maloe! They do not hesitate to involve all the members of the crew in unfurling and hoisting the sails, to learn any other safety maneuvers, while offering us slightly more theoretical courses in cartography, mechanics, and so on. pass !! So just spending a few hours aboard the Riposte will teach you a lot about sailing! Thank you both and see you soon I hope ;)!
Very nice 24-hour experience with 5 passengers including 4 young adults who did not know sailing. Perfect if you are there to be part of the crew: manage the navigation, the sails, the stewardship. Here we are here for that. Victor describes his boat as a school boat and it's true, thanks to him. He is a very good teacher and goes very well with young novices. It is a sports boat, so quite spartan. I haven't found the bathroom, the fridge stops at night... It doesn't matter if you're not looking for a pleasure boat. We share everything: navigation, cooking with what everyone brings, a good drink all together casually. Very nice. We all loved it. You just have to be clear about your objective when you come here. If you want to be quiet sipping your cocktail on the deck while everything else is done without you, go your way. Otherwise to really discover. At night there should not be more than 6 passengers in addition to Victor and his charming teammate Maloé. Thanks to you 2 for this very good moment. I explained all this because the announcement does not allow all this to be achieved. Mcaro
Thank you for taking us on one of your trips, we all really enjoyed it, we had a great time with you. Good navigation
