Overall rating
Very strong, well equipped sailboat. Very nice experience. Would definitely use Jean Louis again. Bonne sante et bon vent Jean Louis
Thank you Jean Louis for this boat, your trust and your responsiveness, we spent an incredible week between Belle Île, Houat and Hoedic.
Jean Louis entrusted us with a very beautiful, perfectly maintained boat, always available and accommodating, thank you very much!
Very warm welcome from Jean-Louis and his wife. Their GinFizz is very well equipped and very well maintained. The whole family had a wonderful week on board!
We had a great time on Ater Ego, an old boat but everything that makes it so charming! Very effective from 12kn of wind!! It can then stand up to much more recent boats!! Jean Louis and his wife welcomed us very kindly and gave us countless advice before our departure
Jean-Louis warmly welcomed us aboard Alter Égo. The boat conforms to the description. It is very well equipped and secure. Jean-Louis was extremely available to answer our various questions during the weekend. We will re-embark without hesitation!
Perfect
Sailboat conforms to the description, and very well maintained. Very good navigation in the golf course and towards Houat. I recommend!
Recommended rental.
We were very well received by Jean-Louis who knew how to take the time to show us the different elements of the boat. Departure checklist prepared, chart table with all the necessary equipment, all the comforts on board. In addition the boat is doing very well. Thank you for this weekend!
Very well equipped boat, great weekend spent aboard Alter d'Ego with friends who were new to cruising.
Jean Louis took the time to explain the specificities of the boat to me and remained reachable in case of questions. The boat in question is efficient and well maintained. Thank you Jean Louis, we had an unforgettable stay.
Old boat but still very seaworthy (7 knots on average) which allowed us to sail between the island of Eyes, Pornichet, Belle Île and Houat. Only downside, the shower and the annex which were functional but with some problems (drainage and water voice at floor level). A special mention for the owner who is as friendly as he is available.
We found a few systems on board which are not the most practical, but the boat remains very comfortable despite its age, and we left for four days at 8! A missing piano wire which was quickly replaced thanks to the equipment on board. A little misunderstanding on the day of departure but Jean-Louis very pleasantly did everything to make up for it so that it did not ultimately interfere with our departure. Good rental for a quite moderate cost.
Seaworthy and solid boat very well maintained. Thanks to Jean-Louis for his welcome and his availability during the handling.
Alter Ego is a perfectly maintained, reliable cruiser with a lot of recent equipment that allows you to sail comfortably and worry-free. Jean-Louis is a very attentive and friendly owner. Recommended rental!
Very well maintained and equipped boat and very friendly and helpful owner.
Alter ego despite her advanced age remains a very good boat, well equipped and safe in bad weather. Jean louis is very flexible on schedules. That’s a really big plus. Just a little pilot problem to deplore during our cruise.
Alter Ego is a robust and comfortable sailboat. The spacious cockpit allows you to take full advantage of the outdoors. Its owner, Jean-Louis, is accommodating and caring. We had a great weekend with friends. Thank you !
Very good choice for a sea trip with peace of mind and safety. For an attractive price, Alter Ego offers you all the necessary equipment as well as a "home" comfort that new sailboats often find it difficult to match. With two double cabins, a generous saloon with four berths and a very spacious cockpit, the boat appears larger than its actual size of 11.4m. For his part, Jean-Louis is responsive and very friendly, and will provide you with all the information you need to get started with peace of mind. Good luck!
A very pleasant boat even in a light wind. A nice trip between Houat and Belle-Ile. Jean Louis is very welcoming, I really appreciated it. Sincere thanks.
A big thank you to Jean-Louis and his wife. We (2 adults and two children aged 3 and 5) had a great week aboard Alter ego which is fully equipped and very comfortable. The welcome and handling were complete and warm. Pleased to see you again.

Depuis toujours attiré par les grands espaces, la mer et le ciel. L'air et l'eau ont beaucoup de similitudes et constituent pour moi une même passion. Devenu pilote de planeur et d'avions légers très jeune, puis expérience de dériveur avant de faire l'acquisition d'un premier voilier quillard que j'ai remis en état avant de passer à des modèles plus sophistiqués. Aujourd'hui, Alter Ego est mon 4ième (et probablement dernier...) bateau. J'y ai mis mon expérience de près de 40 ans de navigation, un peu de sueur ...et surtout beaucoup de passion que j'aime faire partager.
