Overall rating
Manuel is very friendly but was very calm that day, just like the wind. The boat is beautiful and clean. We were able to try sailing a bit on our own, sailing as a couple. Since we had almost no wind, Manu showed us how to make progress anyway. Afterward, we stopped at a buoy for a picnic. It was a beautiful day and a great experience. Thank you so much, Manu.
We were able to sail for two days in La Rochelle with Manuel. We really appreciated the tips we shared during the co-sailing. Manuel has sailing experience and is very good at handling his boat. We were also able to sail to the Ile de Ré bridge and the commercial port (a fairly industrial coastline), and the next day to Fort Boyard (a very pretty coastline and islands).
Manuel sailed us very well despite the light wind, which was a shame. If we were to do another trip, we would definitely call on Manuel.
Everything was excellent, very clean. Manuel is a wonderful person who gave me an unforgettable time with my fiancée. Punctual, excellent communication, 10/10, 100% recommended.
A big thank you to Manuel. An incredible day with a superb sail to the island of Oléron. Manuel is a super-educative skipper. He let us handle all the boat maneuvers, giving us all the useful tips to ensure the trip went smoothly. I recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy a wonderful experience. Thank you.

Excellent sailing experience with a very attentive and educational skipper.
It was just great! Manuel was on top from start to finish. A really cool and educational Skeeper… We loved these 3 days as a family!
Great navigation with Manuel.
We had a great family day aboard the sailboat. Manuel and Maude were educational, attentive and caring, which allowed us to have a good time.
An exceptional moment with a golden skipper, educational, pleasant, nice, patient and attentive! Thank you Manu for being so kind to our children and thank you for the initiation that we will remember all our lives! Thank you!
Beautiful navigation in perfect conditions for the walk (Fort Boyard, Oléron..) Top skipper and very well maintained boat. I recommend!
Very nice meeting with Manuel and good navigation advice for discovering the region.
Many thanks to Manu for this wonderful family weekend! Manu managed, while adapting to the weather conditions, to offer us a program that fully met our expectations. Thanks to Manu, our 7-year-old daughter discovered the joys of sailing in the best possible conditions. With his solid experience and his sense of teaching, Manu allowed me to deepen my knowledge, contributing to my goal of obtaining an offshore license. A real pleasure to sail with Manu, a calm and caring skipper, on a very beautiful boat, combining regatta performance and cruising comfort. We recommend! Looking forward to sailing together again.
Manu is friendly and gives good advice, I recommend! Thank you for this great outing.
Thank you Manu for giving us a fantastic day! We really enjoyed it! This is a memory that will always stay with us, especially the jumping and swimming in the sea ;-) Stay strong, Katrien, Daan and Bent
Very pleasant day on a magnificent boat with a very friendly captain. Thank you Manu for your patience, your kindness, your wise advice and your sense of teaching. See you soon on the water.
