A magnificent weekend with sunshine, it had been almost 50 years since I had set foot on a sailboat for a crossing. Thierry put me in confidence, I quickly took the helm under his advice; his sense of welcome, the conviviality on board, his sympathy, his professionalism and his great knowledge of the sea made this trip very pleasant.
Perfectly organized stay
Thierry had in heart to make us discover the tour of the island of Aurigny by the sea, the landscapes were magnificent with all the colonies of gannets, puffins, egrets...etc. The return on Cherbourg was sporting: contrary current and decrease of the wind in the raz Blanchard put some spice in the crossing way wringer as in Disney, but in better. I can only recommend this trip.
A lot of fun, strong sensations and dolphins to welcome us in Cherbourg
Very happy to have met you, see you next time we hope...
Very nice first sailing experience. As the Channel Islands are not accessible, Thierry suggested an alternative route to St Vaast la Hougue. The weather was also good. This weekend will leave us a very nice memory.
Thierry quickly put us at ease and in confidence. We were able to participate in the maneuvers despite our beginner status. Thank you for that!
It was great! 3 and a half years old, 13 years old, 15 years old and 20 years old our 4 children loved it and so did we, the parents. Three days of initiation to sailing with the family that will remain in our memories for a long time. We were able to discover Guernsey, thank you Thierry
More or less wind, capricious currents but a skipper at the top so a family in confidence and almost no stress for everyone depending on the speed of the boat! ( We don't do it again!)A big thank you to Thierry
Oops..... don't talk to Thierry about rabbits. Like any good navigator, he won't really like the joke!!( hihi)😂
Great cruise, frankly impeccable. Thierry knows his boat, with professionalism, without forgetting the "good mood" aspect, a cruise that allows you to forget all the worries and think of nothing or almost nothing... To do it again without any problem... Thanks again. 😀
I had booked this cruise for my husband's 50th birthday. This one had sailed at the age of 17...then nothing more...I managed with Thierry to make him relive moments, that he had forgotten, really thanks for everything...Sandrine
A really nice weekend in Alderney. Island to discover! Natural landscape.
Thierry has easy contact. Smiling, simple, accommodating and cautious. Nothing to say! If the opportunity presents itself, we'll go on another trip with him
