Overall rating
We loved our time with Jean-Marie and Gaelle (and their daughter Colleen!) and would recommend their boat highly. Their food was delicious (and they were so gracious about including gluten free items for our daughter with Celiac disease), the itinerary was tailored to us (lots of snorkeling and jumping off the boat), the boat was comfortable and all felt safe, and we made memories that will last a lifetime. Jean-Marie and Gaelle were such warm hosts and made us feel at home - and we feel grateful for knowing them and having spent time on their boat. Thank you both for such an amazing and memorable trip!
Very memorable trip for me and my parents, as every activity and tour that we requested was offered. Thanks to the captain’s family!
Was a wonderful experience - a dream fulfilled - made better by the beautiful family experiences with Gaelle, Jean-Marie and Ariel. Great cooking at every meal, guiding us on informative tours, swimming, snorkeling, drinking wine at the beach in the water, sleeping on deck under the moon and stars. We enjoyed the calming presence of Marquesa. le chat.
Jean-Marie and Gaelle are generous, gracious hosts with an unbelievable knowledge of the leeward island areas. Jean-Marie is the most proficient, calm captain you will ever meet. We felt safe at every moment with our little one on board. Gaelle was beyond kind to our son and a wonderful cook. This was the most incredible week of our life - I hope you have a chance to experience it also.
An amazing way to discover the Polynesian island with an adorable Family.
Jean-Marie and Gaelle are wonderful hosts. He is a very knowledgeable captain and she is a wonderful cook. They have a great knowledge of the Island of Moorea and contacts with restaurants and activities you may want to do. We had a great time snorkeling, hiking and horseback riding. It was a great trip for my wife and I.
Our experience exceeded our expectations in terms of the warm welcome and interaction with Jean-Marie and Gaelle, who were not only highly professional but also incredibly charming. We appreciated their flawless organization, which skillfully combined our wishes with the weather constraints. The spacious cabins, delicious meals, and guided snorkeling excursions were a real bonus. Gaelle was eager to share her passion for Polynesian culture (language, customs, cuisine, etc.) and the lagoon's wildlife. In short, we had an unforgettable stay! Thank you!
We spent a week as a family on Jean Marie and Gaelle's boat. A magical week!! Jean Marie is a serious and professional skipper with a very well-maintained boat. Gaelle took excellent care of us with her culinary talents and so much more… Thank you both! The Bretons
We stayed 10 days on Jean Marie and Gaelle's boat. Among the positive points we took away: - Visiting Polynesia by boat is definitely an experience worth having. It allows access to intimate and special places. - Among the good news: the catamaran is as described and very well maintained. Unfortunately, the stay did not live up to our expectations (perhaps too high) regarding the experience with Gaelle and Jean Marie and the encounters with the Polynesians. Unfortunately, on several occasions, we felt like we were in the way on board or wasting our time by staying in the boat's saloon rather than doing activities. What's more, throughout our stay, we had to "wash" ourselves at the back of the boat using seawater and rainwater (there were no showers in the area of the boat reserved for us), which over a period of 10 days may seem like a long time for people like us who are unfamiliar with life at sea. In the end, we can say that we didn't get along with our hosts. It's for all these reasons that we're left wanting more, considering what we experienced in 10 days and the price we paid.
We had a wonderful time exploring the Raiarea-Tahaa lagoon with Gaëlle and Jean Marie, who welcomed us a few days on their boat. They shared their ideas and way of life with us, respecting and preserving the environment.
A first successful sailing experience thanks to Gaëlle and Jean-Marie. They share their good tips without moderation and are very caring. Discoveries off the beaten track guaranteed. The boat is spacious enough and well equipped to fully enjoy. Thank you for this beautiful cruise in your adopted region.
Great welcome, great navigation expertise, lots of places and experiences to share, and full board worthy of the best hotels!
It was a first experience of a boat trip for our little family and we only have one regret: not having planned a longer stay! We simply loved these moments shared with Jean-Marie, great captain of the boat who introduced us to magnificent snorkeling spots (and also a baker in his spare time ;-)) and Gaêlle who is simply adorable and an excellent cook. Thanks again to both of you
An extraordinary experience with an adorable family! A getaway not to be missed through Polynesia!
Very good family welcome and sharing of life experience on the boat.
