Description of Bernard's sailboat

Translate to English (US)

Sailboat Beneteau First 31.7 9.5m

Capacity: 5 people + the captain (me). Day trips only. The First 31.7 is a star of fast and comfortable cruising that needs no introduction! Sailing is dependent on the day's tides and weather conditions. This will take us sailing in the estuary towards the cliffs of Meschers or out to sea towards the Cordouan lighthouse. Hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, windbreaker, flat shoes with clean soles, and a picnic lunch, plus a touch of good humor, will be all you need. We only take a maximum of 5 people plus myself. For larger groups, we can consider splitting the trip into two half-days on the same day. After a short safety briefing, sailing will be according to the tides, departing from Port Bloc (Port du Bac in Verdon-sur-Mer 33123) between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM. The price is all-inclusive. (Website commission and contribution to boat expenses in the form of onboard expenses and fuel). I will handle all aspects of the navigation, but I enjoy offering an educational activity with participation in the maneuvers. In case of bad weather, which has never happened, I would suggest rescheduling. Looking forward to having you on board, Bernard PS: Before committing, I need to know the composition of your family: number of adults and children, as well as their ages (I will be taking 5 people and myself).

We had a wonderful day on Bernard's sailboat! Bernard is a warm and welcoming host, who took the time to explain the basics of sailing to us, which made the experience even more enriching. The sailboat was in perfect condition, and the day at sea went smoothly. We highly recommend this experience and hope to have the opportunity to sail with Bernard again!

Magnificent day at sea with Bernard. Climbing the Genneker, sailing along the Cordouan lighthouse and reaching the blue waters! Becoming one with nature! It was a real pleasure for everyone! Thank you Bernard! Thank you for your explanations and for letting us participate in the navigation. And the exchanges that we want to continue! A beautiful interlude at sea!

Super friendly and open skipper. The "cruise" was very enriching, ranging from vocabulary adapted to the marine world to practice in the appropriate conditions, including the discovery of goggles against seasickness! The Skipper let the people who wanted to test the helm and take care of the sails. He is very talkative and good with children! Very affordable price for a 6 hour cruise. I recommend !!!!!! ?

An extraordinary day with Bernard who was able to introduce us with great tact and pedagogy to sailing on board his superb sailboat. As soon as we left the port, he was able to put us at ease at the helm and we were able to take part in all the manoeuvres. Bernard is also an excellent conversationalist and showed and told us about different sites that we came across. The day went by at full speed and we came home full of images!

Bernard is quite a character! A formidable pedagogue hides behind this former musician. The Gironde estuary has no secrets for him, so you immediately feel safe, which is very good because he is zen: the girls were able to take turns at the helm without there is any tension. As a result, we had a great day that the whole family would be ready to do again! Many thanks to you Bernard!

High quality boat and captain. Navigation in complete safety adapted to the conditions and the crew. Very responsive boat that provides a lot of feeling at all speeds. Very pedagogical skipper with a very good knowledge of the area and his boat. A great day of family sailing with children aged 13 and 6 despite difficult weather. A nice meeting. To live absolutely.
