Description of Patrick's sailboat
Sailboat Dufour 412 12.35m
I am the owner of this sailboat, which I love, and can accommodate 7 people on board for the day and 5 for cruising. I will sail with you, advising you on anchorages, navigation, maneuvers, excursions, and restaurants. This is the 3-cabin version with a convertible saloon. The cockpit can also be converted into sleeping accommodations (Dufour option). This is a very comfortable sailboat and a smooth ride. It is equipped for offshore sailing with a spinnaker. A 3-meter tender for 6 people, etc. Please note that if you sail more than 10 NM, diesel consumption will be charged if you are sailing under power.

Overall rating
My group went out for a day sail with Patrick on My Dream this week. Patrick was a delightful tour guide and the boat was beautifully maintained. He was excellent at meeting and exceeding expectations for the day and we accomplished everything we hoped for. Swimming off the boat was a delight - a highlight of the trip - and the sail back was perfect. The boat is very very well equipped with everything you could need for a delightful day.
We had a wonderful week with our friends. The planned stops were exactly what we had imagined. The boat was exactly as shown in the photos. Patrick, our skipper, combines extensive experience with a warm personality. Friendly and full of stories, he also treated us to delicious meals. We highly recommend?
We had a superb excursion under the guidance of Patrick, a very experienced skipper, who showed us the most beautiful places in Corsica and the French Riviera. Patrick, a Corsica enthusiast, also told us a lot about the island, and every evening we were in a magnificent anchorage, always different. The Corsican coast is breathtakingly beautiful: crystal-clear water, magnificent beaches, irregularly shaped rocks where you can see animals or faces, and yet the peace and quiet reign. We lack superlatives… We visited Boniface, the hidden port, a pleasant little town to visit, with its magnificent old fort. During the return crossing from Corsica, dolphins played around our boat, and we even spotted a sea turtle! At the anchorages, we often snorkeled and were able to admire many magnificent fish. For sailing enthusiasts: Patrick is ready to teach you everything you need if you'd like. And of course, we were also able to steer the boat ourselves (not easy...), help hoist the sails, and assist with anchoring and mooring, always under the skipper's supervision. Safety first. Patrick was always attentive to the weather and wind, as conditions in the Mediterranean can change unexpectedly. Life on board was also pleasant. For example, we took the time to enjoy an aperitif, where Patrick sometimes offered us homemade tapenade. We cooked our own meals, and the boat's galley was perfectly equipped. In short, it was a fantastic experience for us! Thank you, Patrick!!!
Our family went sailing with Patrick for a day. It was fantastic! Patrick is very involved and did everything he could to give us a nice day. He made a delicious lunch, played guitar and provided drinks. We anchored in a beautiful bay and had a lovely swim. Really fantastic! The boat was very comfortable and in very good condition. Patrick, thanks again for the wonderful day.
Patrick is great, we had a great time. History buff, very communicative and very attentive, you will have a good time in a relaxed atmosphere.
