Our cruise with Alain was fantastic. Alain was extremely patient with our novice family and very accommodating to our 3 very restless sons on his boat. Alain adapted to our schedule and managed everything on the boat for us. We recommend him 100%.

We spent a wonderful week with the whole family on the Florès. The weather was great. We were able to maneuver thanks to Captain Alain's explanations ?. Will do it again.

Alain is THE skipper you have to meet! A magnificent navigation on a magnificent sailboat in a warm atmosphere. Four extraordinary days during which we all learned a lot thanks to the relevant explanations of Alain always ready to tell us an anecdote about such lighthouse, such rock, such anchorage place. Thank you for everything! See you soon!

Pure pleasure! Alain made our day unforgettable, from the warm welcome to the sailing maneuvers, including exchanges punctuated with anecdotes about his magnificent boat "Flores". I recommend everyone to spend time in his company.

A very nice day aboard Flores with Alain, with whom we spent the day in Groix! This one takes great care of its passengers. Friendly and in a good mood, Alain adapts to everyone's desires and knows plenty of anecdotes about the area. A superb day and a great skipper who perfectly masters his boat and has an impressive nautical CV!

We are a crew of 6 more or less experienced friends and sailed for a week on the Flores. Alain took us from island to island in complete safety with great skill, humanity and humor He showed patience by leaving us the initiative while controlling with all his know-how and ensuring the smooth running of the maneuvers. He made us discover unusual places on land and at sea. Alain is always relevant and enthusiastic in his explanations The boat is impeccable well organized well equipped We benefited from exceptional weather which helped to make this week memorable. The crew is unanimous to live a new nautical experience as soon as possible

Very nice weekend of navigation with Alain who welcomed us very well on Flores. Very easy to contact, Alain was flexible, accommodating, attentive, he has enormous experience in sailing and the region which he shares with pleasure and which we enjoy listening to. Flores is a beautiful boat, comfortable and very well maintained. Thank you Alain for this weekend, and thank you to the dolphins who accompanied us for part of the trip!

We had a great weekend at the edge of the first 45. First of all, the boat, completely refitted by the owner, is very practical and warm, both suitable for navigation and a good atmosphere! We were 7 students on board and the skipper Alain set the right atmosphere based on music, jokes and explanations on navigation. Very educational, we all steered and he trusted us from start to finish even though we were all beginners. It is for sure that we will sail with him again aboard his super boat, and we recommend him unanimously.

The experience with Alain was extraordinary. From the confirmation of the rental, the exchanges were warm and benevolent; very organized and accommodating; a superb knowledge of the sea and the boat. Alain has made Flores a superb boat which he handles with precision and delicacy. It is unanimous, the crew lived fabulous and memorable days with and thanks to Alain. Boat that sailed alongside 4 other boats, the other crews envied Flores. It is with emotion that we left each other on the last day and that we remember the excellent times spent together. How can I thank you enough Alain, Captain Conquistador, our Christopher Columbus!

Impeccable boat: refurbished, clean, very well equipped (two fridges, oven, galley…) and maintained. Excellent and friendly skipper: knows the area like the back of his hand, goes from island to island, very reassuring outstanding navigator, explains what we see on the sea and on land, takes great care of the crew and leaves him little by small a greater part in maneuvers. So we go fast and we sail even in heavy weather. All the members of the family (two parents and four children aged 11 to 19) came back enchanted with lots of great memories in their eyes.

Présence a bord obligatoire du propriétaire, le bateau a beaucoup de spécificité mais je partage bien volontairement et suis très pédagogue. Bateau facile mais exigeant précis, rapide et plaisant. Bateau entièrement rénové en 2019/2020.
