We had the most unforgettable day sailing with Laurence and Henri to celebrate my husband’s birthday — and it could not have been more perfect! From the very first moment, their warmth and kindness made us feel completely at home. Ocean Dancer is a beautifully maintained boat, and the views of the sea and coastline were simply breathtaking. We will never forget this incredible experience. Thank you, Laurence and Henri, for giving us a day we will treasure forever, and making my husband's birthday so special. We cannot recommend this experience highly enough, and we can’t wait to sail with you soon! ⛵✨
Wonderful day with Henry and Laurence on their sailboat ! They share their passion and tailor the day to fit your wishes, we will do it again !
We had an incredible sailing experience with Laurence and Henri, who made us feel so welcome on board and enchanted us with their stories and knowledge about sailing and the French maritime life. :) Great communication right from the beginning of the inquiry. We can highly recommend sailing with them and hope to be back some day ourselves. I already miss the view of the open sail, the ocean and land in the distance, and the wind around my face. Thanks Laurence and Henri for making this sailing trip so special for my whole family! <3
Super friendly and professionnel couple that made us feel more like family than customers. From the communication at the start to the actual boat , everything exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend
Laurence and Henri were the perfect hosts. We had such a wonderful time on Ocean dancer and they were so welcoming and understanding with regards to our two children. We loved spending the day with them and will certainly be back again! Xx
It was unforgettable. Laurence and Henry are fantastic hosts: friendly, professional, and full of fascinating stories about the Esterel region. We had great conversations (they speak several languages!) and learned so much. Ocean Dancer is in top shape and had plenty of space for our family of five to relax and enjoy the stunning coastline. Highly recommended — we’ll definitely be back for another trip next time we're in town!
We were incredibly lucky to rent Laurence and Henri’s sailboat for my partner’s birthday – and it was simply an unforgettable day! 🥰⛵ Laurence and Henri are incredibly warm, kind, and truly attentive. From the very first contact to returning to shore, everything was perfectly organized. You can immediately feel their passion for sailing and their joy in creating a special experience for others. The boat itself was in excellent condition – very well maintained and equipped with everything you need for a relaxing day on the water. The area around Agay is absolutely stunning – crystal-clear water, breathtaking coastline, and just the perfect setting for a special occasion. We wholeheartedly recommend this experience and would come back to Laurence and Henri in a heartbeat if we return to Agay. Merci pour tout – and see you next time! 😊
What’s fantastic day and lovely couple , I’d highly recommend this boat if you want a personal service
Captain Henri and his wife Laurence are a fantastic couple! We were a group of 5 guys and they immediately welcomed us on their beautiful boat. While sailing, they told us about their sea adventures, taught us the basics of navigation and above all described the fantastic scenery of the Côte d'Azur and some of the curiosities of the seabed! Those I recommend you discover by getting on board with them 😉 Laurance also prepared a great lunch for us and inside their boat they have everything you need to provide the assistance you need! Henri and Laurance, thanks again for a great experience!
For a wonderful day at sea in a cozy atmosphere with a very friendly and hospitable couple, Henri and Laurence are the perfect choice! Highly recommended!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable experience aboard the Ocean Dancer with Laurence and Henri! From the moment we arrived, the welcome was warm and friendly. We had the chance to sail to the magnificent Notre-Dame cove, a little corner of paradise with crystal-clear waters. The highlight? Henri even let us take the helm of the boat—a unique and truly fun experience! Our two little sailors, Maël and Samuel, were thrilled! They left with stars in their eyes and a wonderful memory to share with all their friends. What a joy to see them so enthusiastic! The boat is very comfortable, perfectly maintained, and the atmosphere on board was relaxed and pleasant, thanks to the infectious enthusiasm of our hosts. A big thank you to Laurence and Henri for this magical moment at sea. We 100% recommend this excursion for anyone looking for an authentic, friendly outing full of beautiful memories. To do again without hesitation! My pleasure ! Here is the English translation of your review: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable experience aboard the Ocean Dancer with Laurence and Henri!

We had a wonderful day aboard the Ocean Dancer with Laurence and Henri, who welcomed us like friends with the greatest kindness. Henri is an experienced captain who shares his passion and will satisfy all lovers of the sea. From booking to the helm, Laurence took great care of us. From anecdotes to discovering hidden coves, we let ourselves be carried by the waves in complete peace. A superb experience to be repeated without hesitation. A big thank you to these two enthusiasts whom we met again for our greatest pleasure.
We had a fantastic day aboard Laurence and Henri's "Ocean Dancer." We sailed almost 40 kilometers and made time to swim among the fish and in the beautiful calenques along the Esterel River. Sailing is incredibly peaceful, and the boat was very well-maintained. Laurence and Henri shared a wealth of information with us and our children about sailing, life on the boat, the sea, and the animals. We even saw harbor porpoises (which looked like small dolphins). A fantastic experience!
The day on board with Laurence and Henri was absolutely perfect! There were six of us on the boat, ranging in age from 12 to 85, and everyone had a great time. We sailed along the coast, stopped in a beautiful bay, and went snorkeling, SUPing, and swimming. The tapas-style lunch was also delicious. We highly recommend the sailing trip with Laurence and Henri!
Laurence and Henri were great for our day's sailing, very warm welcome, a great time spent on board with good discussions, good anecdotes. The boat is very well maintained and very well equipped. Henri and Laurence are very good skippers, you will be safe with them. I recommend without hesitation!
Very nice day on Laurence and Henri's Oceanis 393! The boat is ideally equipped, Laurence and Henri take great care to navigate with the wind according to everyone's desires. Very beautiful memories for all of us, highly recommended!
Day to do and redo! First day aboard a sailboat and what a day! The boat is beautiful, very well maintained. Laurence and Henry are very welcoming, passionate and it is a pleasure to share with them their experiences at sea. Everything went very well from the boat, to the stops in the coves to swim, to the paddle, to the lunch .... There were four of us, two adults and two young people and we all loved this day. Another big thank you to the owners for this discovery.
Excellent day with a very welcoming and really friendly skipper couple. Everything was perfect despite a lack of wind always possible in the Mediterranean. Boat in very good condition, reassuring in case of more difficult weather conditions. To do or to do again without any hesitation. Many thanks
Had a super nice day. We visited beautiful bays where we would not have come otherwise. We could snorkel and paddle board there without time pressure. We also had super nice conversations with the skipper and his wife. If we go to Frejus again, we will definitely take a boat trip with them again!
A great day with Laurence and Henri who shared their passion for the sea and boats with us. The sailboat is very well equipped and we had a great time. We were 3 adults and 2 children. In summary: Kindness, good humor and sharing, it was very nice! Thank you!
Laurance and her husband are two special people, they welcomed me and my whole family aboard their beautiful boat, making us feel like part of their family. both owners were excellent in everything, they showed us wonderful places (including the dolphins) and the day went to the best of our expectations. We hope to re-board Ocean Dancer very soon.
