Description of Gérard's sailboat

Translate to English

Sailboat Beneteau First 31.7 9.5m

Hello, Pipistrelle and I invite you to discover life aboard a sailboat. You can simply spend the night, sail for a half-day, or sail for a full day. Or better yet, depart from Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie and spend a few days exploring the Île d'Yeu. This 9.50-meter sailboat can accommodate 6 people. It is very well-equipped, and you'll find all the necessary comforts on board. I will accompany you throughout your stay so that you can enjoy it to the fullest. Swimming, fishing, hiking, or cycling—a wide range of activities await you. I will take care of the supplies and prepare simple and varied dishes for you. Pipistrelle has been sailing since 2010 as part of a community program, mainly from March to the end of November. For any questions, you can send me a message via the website at Click&Boat. Whether you're a regatta fan or a cruiser, we're waiting for you. See you soon.

A superb sailing trip! Gérard is an exceptional skipper: educational, patient, and very professional. He takes the time to explain things, answer questions, and is truly great with children. We had an unforgettable time in perfect weather. My husband will remember his 40th birthday and loved co-sailing! Thank you for this wonderful experience!

Very good stay with Gérard who allowed us to participate in the maneuvers and explained everything to us well. Very warm welcome. Walk on the island of Yeu as a bonus. I recommend without hesitation. We had a great time!

A very good trip at sea with Gérard We had a wonderful time at sea with Gérard on August 7th. He is welcoming, friendly, and takes the time to share his passion. He allowed us to participate in the sailing, which the whole family really enjoyed. A pleasant boat and a great atmosphere on board. Thanks again!

Very good. Gérard is an excellent skipper. While our voyage ended with a more than easing wind (and we had a schedule to respect), he was able to rig a symmetrical and asymmetrical spinnaker in record time. Result: My daughter was able to take her surfing lesson on time! To do again!

A very pleasant afternoon discovering sailing with Gérard. We were able to participate in setting up the sails, testing knots, steering, and helping with the speeds on board. It is clear that Gérard is passionate about sailing and enjoys sharing his passion, while adapting to his crew. We are already planning to go out again!

A great time spent with the family. Gerard immediately puts you at ease. He is also very willing for us to be an actor in the outing and therefore easily leaves us in control. He subtly guides everyone and transmits his knowledge in all humility. Top !! Thank you very much we highly recommend.

Thanks to Gérard for this beautiful afternoon of navigation. As soon as we made contact, Gérard put us at ease. Gérard is a teacher and doesn't hesitate to hand over the helm and perform a few simple manoeuvres....while remaining attentive and vigilant. Too bad we weren't able to share a drink with Gérard on the way back, but he had to prepare his boat for the next customers....that will be for next time!

Gérard took us on his superb First for family sailing. We feared a lack of wind and strong heat at the start and finally a light wind rose allowing us a pleasant navigation between the island of yeu and the coast all day. We were able to participate in the maneuvers and discover the secrets of sailing, we even sent the spinnaker on the way back. Angling for mackerel and pollack is a little extra... Gérard is a sailboat pro, you can go there with your eyes closed. Great experience, to do again!!

Magnificent outing to the island of Yeu with Gérard who knows how to sail his first 31.7 perfectly, a super boat that is well equipped and fast also in light airs. Communication at the top especially for a very late reservation and adaptation to our needs. I highly recommend sailing with Gérard who likes to share his passion for the sea. I wish you success in your projects!
