Your cruise
With lots of experience as a professional skipper, Camille will help you safely board his sailboat for a day-long sailing course. On leaving La Ciotat, you'll take to the seas to sail in the bay and discover the Côte d'Azur from the water! Whether you're a beginner or more experienced, this sailing day is perfect for everyone - your pro skipper will adapt to each one of you so you have the best day possible.
Your possible stops during this cruise
Camille will meet you at 10am at the port of La Ciotat.
After meeting your captain for the day, he will brief you on some of the safety rules to follow when you're on board. You'll agree an exact programme for the day, detailing your wishes and preferences.
You'll then set off to spend the day sailing in the bay. The water is truly magnificent, and boasts beautiful light. Soak up the sun on the sailboat, perfect your sailing skills and marvel at the beauty of the Côte d'Azur.
When it comes to technical things, you'll be trained in current sailing manoeuvres, adjusting the sails and using the instruments. You'll also be able to perfect your port manoeuvres and learn to choose and adjust good trajectories. If you want to train in any specific technical aspects, don't hesitate to ask your captain.
Their objective is to lead you gently towards independence so you'll be able to rent a boat yourself.
During the day, Camille will explain all the things you need to know in order to sail safely. You'll learn to understand the weather, adapt the safety equipment and finally to prevent and manage man overboard.
For lunch you'll moor in a beautiful little creek and picnic there.
At the end of the day you'll return to the port of La Ciotat around 5pm.

SUN ODYSSEY 34.2 - 10 meters
It is a pleasant boat to sail.
With its friendly and reassuring cockpit, you will be able to take full advantage of the exterior during the navigation, but also once you arrive at the anchorage !
The interior has 2 double cabins, a kitchen, a bathroom, a chart table and a cosy saloon.
The saloon is convertible and if you wish to be more numerous on board, two people can sleep in hammocks on the deck.
If cabins are occupied, the skipper sleeps in the middle
The skipper helps you to cook but everybody is participating

Excellent
Great skipper, knowledgeable, and easy going. Would definitely come again.
Neophytes, we booked 2 x 1 day of sailing initiation with Camille and came back delighted; 1 day with light wind, ideal to start and the second day with much stronger wind, great sensations and just the desire to continue! A great experience.
Camille is an excellent coach, experienced, clear and precise, very good teacher and very charming. We recommend him without any hesitation.
On day 2 the conditions were as expected very different with Tramontane gusts at 30 knots, and with only one day of light airs as an experience for us it was a bit of a jump... and we loved it, in total safety Camille prepared us to go and flirt with a nice swell at the exit of the bay, great.
The setting is simply magnificent!
Great day with Thomas! He completely adapted himself to our desires and allowed us to make the most of our day
diving contest won by Thomas, the skipper! ^^ How to compete with his back salto?
Camille shared with us (family of 4) her knowledge of sailing and the Gulf of La Ciotat and listened to us; we spent a great time sailing (a first for most of the family) and discovering the Gulf and the green island. Sailboat quality and pedagogy are also to be noted. We recommend!!!
Everything was perfect. Organization, contract, contact, information. site very well done. A more precise meeting place would be appreciated.
The favourable winds confirmed us for this first sailing course: the first day towards Les Embiez then back to the port of La Ciotat, the next day the wind weakened and the navigation in the creeks was done with the help of the engine. This contrast has allowed us to better understand the constraints of navigation. Despite a lack of communication about the organization of life on board before boarding, the Sunday market provided a friendly touch for the preparation of the second day's picnic.
Friendly and pleasant, Camille likes to share her passion with pedagogy.
The night on board will remain an unprecedented memory, fortunately our bath sheet was used as a blanket! Plan your sleeping (e. g. sleeping bag or 2 flat sheets)
Very good we on this Sun Odissey with Camille, the weather prevented us from going to lunch in the creeks but in 30 knots it was unmanageable. On the other hand, we were no longer there to learn so it allowed us to take and release reefs with the wind in the bay. To ride an old-fashioned Solent instead of a furling Genoa etc.... The day before, with little wind, we launched the spinnaker and everyone was able to manoeuvre in the harbour, which was the desired goal. I think Skippair is suitable for everyone, whether for a walk or to improve!
Very professional and pedagogue, Camille knew how to measure the weather conditions very well: easy on Saturday and much more complex on Sunday... All the crew was able to steer, hoist, tuck and others each in turn... a good balance... We felt perfectly safe all the time and that's the key to have a good time.
La Ciotat is a superb place for water sports activities, even at the end of October. The weather has changed, which has allowed us to navigate in different situations. Well organized, the internship was very interesting and comprehensive.
Camille, in addition to being an excellent professional, is passionate about sailing but also about pedagogy. His methods and teachings allow everyone to learn the technique of sailing but also to improve the relationship between the crew members. Camille is looking for and succeeds in building a team spirit. Thank you Camille.
It was a memorable day. Camille the skipper is really passionate about sailing and guides us through our day's learning. Trying is adopting it. Now it's your turn to try skippair 😊
More than perfect
Our cruise with Camille went very well, as last year, everything was perfect, we even had the opportunity to swim! I highly recommend this adventure;)
As last year, our internship with Camille went very well, the objective is to enjoy as much as possible, to have fun, at our own pace, as a real guide, Camille teaches us a lot about the history of the coast, the cities and the seabed. Always safe, he plans with us the day, according to our wishes and the weather. Friendly and full of humour, attentive to the crew, Camille is a key element, thanks to which we have a great day, thanks to you! and to the pleasure of doing it again:)
SwimmingMoon fish
A single day but intense and instructive for someone who hasn't sailed in years.......the skipper and the sailboat have given me complete satisfaction. A light wind at 18-20 knots allowed us to enjoy manoeuvring and sailing at sea.
Camille was great on all counts. First he came to pick me up at the station but you shouldn't tell him so that it doesn't create a precedent 😉. Then he showed patience and pedagogy as I hoped.... it was more than a review on all aspects of navigation and the handling of the boat. In short, I learned a lot or relearned thanks to Camille. A big thank you to him. Daniel
Excellent day of sailing, in cool winds and well formed swells!
Skipper as pleasant as he is professional, particularly a teacher
The cruise went very well. We were able to define with the skipper the course for the day and set course for the Calanques as we had hoped. Several anchorages on the programme for swimming and enjoying the landscape on and under water
Camille is very nice and very educational. He involved the whole family in the manoeuvres by explaining the actions to be taken. It was a good way to learn while having a good time on the water. We are all ready to go again.
An unforgettable day on board the sailboat. It was a hot weather but the temperature was pleasant on the sea. We took advantage of the sailboat's bimini, so not exposed to direct sunlight. We made 3 anchorages with swimming in the creeks of Cassis, far from the crowd, and coves of La Ciotat. The setting was majestic
Our skipper Camille was perfect: caring, communicative, competent, full of things to say about the boat and the sea. We were comfortable all day long. We didn't get much wind during our cruise but Camille was able to involve us in a few manoeuvres with a simple vocabulary.
The best memory will be that of the children: the jumps and dives from the back of the boat. They will not soon forget these delicious moments!
We didn't expect half a day like this one but it was very good, we discovered how to "take care" of a sailboat which is very intensive and quite complex but Camille took the time to explain it well and was able to be very patient we really thank her and we see each other very quickly anyway.
Very good, very kind, very available and with a little care
We had a great day, the weather was on the meeting!
We were very lucky to share this cruise with Camille, who is always in a good mood and loves to share her passion for sailing and sailing. He knew how to give us confidence and to accompany us throughout the day. Thanks to him, it was great:)
We had a nice karaoke session, it seems that it eliminates seasickness, in any case we had a good laugh every 5
