DThe Cruise :C'était une première expérience pour nous et on a adoré! La destination est super et les escales paradisiaques! On en a eu plein les yeux... On a aussi eu beaucoup de chance avec le temps; nous étions en fin de saison et le soleil nous a suivi toute la semaine. Le petit bémol que nous avons concerne l'organisation de la vie à bord... Nous avons eu affaire à une hôtesse inexpérimentée et pas assez discrète... (C'était une première expérience pour elle, selon ses propres dires). Elle s'est tout de même appliquée du mieux qu'elle pouvait pour nous faire à manger tous les jours mais l'entretien du bateau et des cabines ont laissé à désirer... Quant à la variété des repas; à refaire, nous prendrions contact avec le skipper au préalable afin de nous accorder sur le choix du menu...
The Skipper :Stéphane est un skipper expérimenté qui nous a fait découvrir de merveilleux endroits. Pour les clients novices que nous étions, il a parfois manqué un peu de patience quand nous tentions de l'aider; nous aurions apprécié qu'il nous explique comment faire les choses et cela nous aurait permis de ne pas être dans ses pieds au cours de certaines manœuvres... Un peu plus de pédagogie aurait donc été bénéfique pour tout le monde. Ceci étant dit, malgré ces petites remarques, nous garderons de notre croisière un excellent souvenir et nous comptons bien réitérer l'expérience très prochainement!
MThe Cruise :C etait magnifique!
The Skipper :Professionel !
XThe Cruise :Magnifique croisière aux Ils vierges en famille Destination à recommander avec des escales nouvelles et variées tous les jours On ne s'est jamais ennuyé !!!
