Thanks much Pascal for the incredible 2 days on your boat, discovering the Bay of Marseille, the Calanques and Cassis. Appreciated a lot the opportunity to actively practice sailing (for me as well as for my 15year old son). It’s not easy to enthuse a teenager, but you managed it wonderfully with your experience and knowledge of sailing, the boat, and the surroundings. The boat is in perfect shape in line with it’s sporty DNA: basic but perfectly clean and comfortable. Communication up front was super smooth and transparent, adding to the overall really positive experience!!! Highly recommended for everyone in search of an active sailing experience in the area.
We had a great day with Pascal on the boat. Would highly recommend!
Pascal was so nice and accommodating! We learned that the Mediterranean seas are a little unforgiving but Pascal was great at customizing the experience to our comfort! Overall it was an incredible experience that we will never forget! Amazing send off to our last day in Marseille!
Awesome! Thanks Pascal for this great outing. The boat is great, the atmosphere relaxed, and we left with lots of new knowledge. Definitely worth doing again!
A great day on Pascal's boat for our friend's bachelorette party. The boat is truly amazing and clean. Pascal made us feel at home, and the day was a great learning experience in all aspects of sailing. It was truly interesting and friendly. Thanks again!
We were a group of 8 friends and we loved our day with Pascal! A superb sea trip between Marseille and Frioul Island, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Pascal is warm, educational, and passionate: he knows how to create a pleasant atmosphere while sharing lots of interesting information about the places and sailing. Thank you again for this wonderful experience, which we recommend 100%!
Great experience with Pascal, who was accommodating while ensuring that the outing could be done safely. We were able to attest to his expertise in bad weather, I recommend with my eyes closed! We were delighted and will do another outing with Pascal with great pleasure.
We had a great day on Pascal's boat between Marseille and the island of Frioul. Pascal is very friendly and educational and also a very good tour guide! We 100% recommend this experience!
A fantastic day with the whole family (from 2 years old to 71 years old...) on Pascal's boat, simply magnificent!
The boat is very well maintained and perfect for both sporty and more leisurely sailing. Although the boat is more for regattas, the berths are comfortable, we had no trouble sleeping six in it. Pascal is very educational and will guide you to help you discover sailing or improve your skills. Thank you for this day and most certainly see you soon.
Great day, little wind but ideal for learning maneuvers for a group of beginners Pascal is very friendly and a great teacher, we had an excellent day, we highly recommend +++

We 100% recommend this experience! We spent my 25th birthday on Pascal’s boat with all of my friends. The ride was great. Pascal introduced us to sailing, thanks to him for his teaching, his confidence and for his anecdotes!
A great day :) I recommend Pascal and his boat. thanks a lot
A very warm welcome from Pascal. We had a great time during these 2 days spent on board. We learned a lot about navigation thanks to his patience and teaching.
Pascal was a very friendly and educational guide. The suggested exit route was really lovely, he knows the surroundings perfectly.
Superb sailboat and great captain! We had an incredible day. Thank you Pascal!
We spent a superb weekend on Pascal's boat between Marseille and Cassis. Pascal is very friendly and educational, but also a very good tourist guide! Between the visit to Cassis, the dolphins and the moon fish, we recommend 100%!
Thank you for this beautiful day at the top!! Pascal listened to us and made us discover the pleasures of sailing on a sailboat. See you soon.
We have just finished a wonderful day aboard this magnificent boat. A big thank you to our guide Pascal who helped us a lot and made us discover the island of Frioul and its small hidden creeks. We highly recommend!
Superb boat and Pascal is a great guide! He lets us make our planning choices while letting us know what is possible or giving us good advice! This day will remain etched in our memories.
Thanks to Pascal for his professionalism, sympathy and advice. We took a trip at 9 on his boat and everything was perfect.
A very nice day with Pascal who is very pedagogical and benevolent, Thanks again, Damian
A superb 3-day WE on Ad-Hoc, with 6 people. Ad-hoc is a (very) fast boat that delights with sensations. Pascal is a great guide for a voluntary, accommodating and pleasant crew. Truly an excellent experience.
Great day spent with friends on this boat. The skipper is great and makes us participate in the maneuvers of the boat! Superb spots also for swimming and enjoying this beautiful sunny day.
We had a great day with Pascal despite the bad weather we had at the beginning of the day. Pascal is an experienced, accommodating and flexible skipper. He adapted the program for the day so that we could make the most of it. A day that remains etched in our memories. I highly recommend it.
Great day with Pascal who is very pedagogical and patient! Perfect boat for a group of 10 friends, thanks again to Pascal! Camille
Great experience with Pascal the captain! We were 8 friends to spend the full day on this sailboat ⛵ We were able to learn the basics of navigation while enjoying a relaxing time around pastis and beer in the creeks ❤️! to advise without hesitation for a group of friends or family!
Great day with Pascal aboard his sailboat. Very good captain.
We had an unforgettable day. The boat is very comfortable and spacious. Pascal accompanied us on this day and shared his passion for sailboats. I highly recommend !
Pascal was a very good skipper for our day on his boat. We had been able to discover the city and the island of Frioule for some and learn new things for others. We were even able to drive the boat. Thank you for accompanying us on this important event for our friend, and for having received us with great kindness. Highly recommend a reservation with Pascal. Goodbye
Afternoon at the top for an EVJF thanks to Pascal! Thanks again !!
Very friendly captain and monitor if you want it! ad hoc and fast boat for sea trips and discovery of this magnificent region of Marseille Pascal knows everything at his fingertips absolutely recommendable
Pascal is a passionate and exciting captain who gave us a wonderful day. With humor and pedagogy, he taught us the basics of sailing, always with a smile. It was a day filled with laughter and beautiful landscapes, Pascal leaves the choice of destination to us and gives us the best advice so that we can both learn to sail and relax in the sun. Our next sailing trips will be with Pascal, there is no doubt
Great day with Pascal who is pleasant, discreet and attentive to the group, I recommend!
We had a great family day out on the boat. Pascal's attentiveness and pedagogy as well as the favorable and varied weather allowed us to taste the exhilarating and technical pleasure of navigation.
We had a great day! Pascal is very friendly and pleasant. He was able to share his passion with us with enthusiasm! He was able to reassure those who were a little apprehensive. Those who wanted to were able to participate and learn a few maneuvers... In short, a great day that will leave our group with great memories. Go there with your eyes closed!
We had the chance to share a wonderful day of sailing with Pascal. From the first contacts, we were reassured because we had not experienced ourselves in the matter. After a day, everyone was able to take the helm and have unforgettable sensations. He was able to adapt the program to our desires and our profile while teaching us the basics of sailing technique. The program has been adapted according to the weather and the radius of access from the port of l'Estaque. The sailboat is well equipped to bring your picnic with fridge, plates, table and cutlery. This invites you to try a stay over several days. Our teenagers (girls very 14 and 17 s) were delighted by this day which was the high point of the holidays. Thanks Pascal.
We were able to spend a great day on the water with Pascal! Upstream, Pascal made himself very available to ensure that everything went well. Once on the water, Pascal takes the time to share his passion, makes sure the day goes well and is very friendly! Thanks !
We had a great time on Pascal's boat in this magnificent setting, too bad the wind was a little absent. Pascal was very pleasant and showed us pedagogy to help us discover the basics of sailing. I invite you to share this beautiful experience with him, I recommend. Maxim
A great welcome A wonderful day Thanks to Pascal the captain of the boat ?
Great 4-day family cruise with our 3 children aged 3 to 8 on this A40. Pascal is very nice, great communication and precise answers given to all my questions before departure. He knows the area of the Bay of Marseille very well and has a solid sailing experience (precious for us who are novices). The safety aspect with our young children was important and it went really well, we were able to enjoy great sensations on the boat which is ideal for people wishing to learn to sail. I highly recommend him and will not hesitate to go back with Pascal. Just one point that I was unaware of when choosing this boat: it can only moor in a port and does not allow you to stay at anchor in a creek for example.
We spent a wonderful day on the boat with Pascal, an excellent, pleasant and very kind skipper. I highly recommend it ! We had a great EVJF.
Many thanks to Pascal! We had a great day on his sailboat. Pascal is considerate, accommodating and very friendly. It was a pleasure to have him with us for the day. We highly recommend it ?
A great moment of navigation with Pascal, who knew how to adapt to an eclectic group, to the changing weather and to listen to us: there were 10 of us and we were able to go to the Frioul islands then to Goudes. We helped him maneuver this pretty boat, built for speed but also very pleasant and spacious for lunch in the sun while sipping a beer. All in all very good captain, patient and pedagogue, which we recommend: go for it!
Pascal is a very good skipper, flexible, friendly, welcoming, precise and concerned about safety. We had a great walk in the Marseilles islands thanks also to perfect weather. Hadhoc is a regatta-oriented boat, soberly equipped (no oven and no hot water, no shower, speedo HS) but very clean and the essentials are there. There is no doubt that some adjustments will be made in the weeks to come. Do not hesitate for real sailing outings and learning to race with all the maneuvers you need to know.
Pascal is a super skipper, friendly, welcoming and who is keen to share his passion for sailing. We had a very pleasant day at sea and highly recommend Pascal. We already want to go back with him....
We had a great time aboard Pascal's boat with Eric as captain! We learned a lot and discovered wonderful places! We were 10, super comfortable! I highly recommend !!!
Pascal and the Ad'hoc are simply top notch. My friends and I enjoyed five perfect days with a welcoming, warm and very informative skipper aboard his spacious racing yacht. We were delighted with our stay, our learning and the good atmosphere on board. Thanks Pascal! ??
Superb day on board, we were with the family and it was a pure delight. To do it again, thanks again to our skipper who made us discover his passion in complete safety.
Great day with Eric, Pascal's partner. An outstanding sailor, he was able to introduce us to sailing while enjoying swimming in small creeks with turquoise water. The boat is very comfortable for 10 people. I totally recommend!
Great day ! we were able to do whatever program we wanted. Eric our captain with little care and he taught us a lot about sailing. To be done again! Thank you Eric, thank you Pascal
Pascal is an extra person. He was very accommodating for the specific requests we had. His boat is magnificent, comfortable. We had a little problem during our trip and he listened. I highly recommend, and we will be back! The pirates thank you captain.
