Overall rating
Wonderful sailing! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Jean is very organized, and his boat is fully functional. It's easy to fully enjoy being on the water!
I spent 4 weeks on board, including 2 solo. 650 nautical miles, up to 50 knots at anchor (SORMIOU, and it held in 10 meters of water). A few technical issues, as with any long voyage, and especially Jean, who is super accommodating and straightforward. He takes the time to explain his boat to you before departure, and he's professional from start to finish. ZEF is a delight under sail, fast and responsive to trimming (up to 5.5 knots on average on a Corsica-Mainland crossing, peaks of over 10 knots). A delight! The comfort of a slightly older boat with a few inconveniences, but nothing that prevented the pleasure at sea. You just have to accept this somewhat stingy side and tinker a little (Jean leaves everything you need on board and, if necessary, takes care of all justified purchases after prior approval, of course). A great owner/boat combination for those who enjoy sailing, offering excellent value for money. Don't hesitate!
I had a great day at sea. The first 35s5 is a super fast, stable, safe boat and in very good condition. Her skipper, Jean, is experienced and very friendly. I recommend.
This day of discovery of sailing with Jean was at the top! Thanks to Jean we learned a lot of things, discovered beautiful places and had a great day! Thank you again and look forward to next time.
A very pleasant week of sailing on Jean's boat despite the rather difficult wind conditions. The boat is safe, well maintained with very good sails and Jean takes all the time necessary to explain its operation and ensure the safety of the crew.
Jean is an excellent skipper: very pedagogical with the children, he also passed on a lot of knowledge to us to allow us to navigate independently. His boat is healthy and impeccable, also very well maintained. His navigation proposals were judicious. Experience to repeat without any hesitation.
Day trip on a Pretty clean and well maintained sailboat, Jean is very friendly and made us discover the maneuvers under sail. Short lunch break under the high wind near the sandbank with swimming, sunbathing and paddle to the key. Then we ended up with a bit of navigation. The shower at the back of the boat is appreciable after a salty swim. A very good moment that we will repeat without hesitation.
Thank you Jean for this wonderful journey at sea! We were a group of 7 girls and Jean was very careful and adapted superbly to our desires, We strongly recommend sailing with Jean :)!
Everything was excellent. We highly recommend.
Jean is a very good trainer and particularly pedagogue with children, very pleasant sea trip, only downside, the bimini to roll up to take out the mainsail, sunscreen to be provided
