Description of François's sailboat

Translate to English (UK)

Sailboat Beneteau First 35 10.83m

Hello, Passionate about this paradise of Lake Geneva, we have been working fervently for over 10 years to discover its smallest nooks and crannies and its many secrets. Altruistic pirates, we enjoy sharing this unique view of the shore from the water and our passion for sailing (as long as there are ice cubes for the aperitif). What types of outings? It's simple, it's à la carte... to be defined together according to everyone's fun and time: A sailing trip to the old Rhône, a stroll in Lausanne, a picnic at the foot of the Chillon castle, a free concert on the banks of Lutry and return by night boat, a birthday with a climbing activity on the mast, a romantic outing around a spritz sunset barbecue, or simply a sailing course and port maneuvers and mooring... Wingfoil and towed paddle for lovers of water sports. Possibility of brunch, lunch, bring your picnic, snack, dinner, bachelorette party, bachelorette party... Even marriage proposals :) Only watchword, try to enjoy the moment and the setting in simplicity (and safety!) Possibility of making more or less short outings but it allows you to go less far ;) Possibility of renting for a weekend or a week. In short, to make you discover this universe for the pleasure of an intense experience. Amandine and François

François, thank you! It was such a spectacular day for my team and definitely for myself. This is one of the best days I've had in Switzerland / France! Any time you need someone to help steer the boat, let me know ⛵️ Thank you, François 🙌 and see you next time 👋

Eight of us (4 adults and 4 children) enjoyed an exciting day sailing with Francois and his daughter. The winds made for perfect sailing across to Lusanne where we stopped for lunch then a couple of swim stops on the way back which the children loved. We would definitely recommend for families. Francois got the children involved in sailing and made us all feel welcome on his beautiful boat.

We had a great time on Francois' boat! A proficient and pleasant captain, all the amenities were suited for a lounging day on the lake (paddle board, float raft). Also great conversation. We highly recommend! Nous avons passé un excellent moment sur le bateau de François ! Capitaine compétent et agréable, toutes les commodités étaient adaptées à une journée de farniente sur le lac (SUP, tapis de flottaison). De plus, c'est très agréable de discuter avec lui. Nous recommandons vivement !

Our experience with François was excellent! We are a family of four that was looking to enjoy the lake, and Francois made sure that we did. He was wonderful with the kids (5 and 7), allowing the older one to steer the boat, and helping the younger steer into port. We stopped a couple of times to swim and paddle, and had an exceptional experience on the lake. We would book with François in a heartbeat.

We had a wonderful day with Francois. He showed us how the boat works and took us on a tour at Lac Leman. We went swimming and did Stand Up Paddling and had a nice aperitif. Time flew by and we saw the sundown on the lake. Francois is an interesting conversation partner and makes you feel absolutely welcome on his private boat. Marvellous tour!!

The only word I can use to describe our experience with Francois is... FANTASTIC. He offered up great options for the day and catered the experience to our group. He let the kids have a chance to captain, swim and really experience sailing. Thanks Francois!!!

François is a very personable and professional skipper. During a birthday party with 10 people on board, all ages included, he was able to pay attention to everyone and tailored the day to our needs. The children were able to have fun on the paddleboard, which made the experience even more memorable. Thank you, François!
