superb day with Régis on the sailboat. great memories!

The skipper

Régis is very comfortable and calm on the boat. He looks after our comfort and learning in a very caring way. He accompanied my 7-year-old son at the helm during the harbor trip, which was great!

Great course with Yan! I came away from the course with a rich experience and, above all, fond memories! Thank you! Sincerely Alexis

The skipper

Yan was a very good skipper, despite the vocabulary I had trouble understanding in certain areas. His pedagogy and patience enabled us to learn and above all to develop a real maritime culture. Thank you Yan! All the best to you! Alexis

Best memories

The most memorable moment, and I think our instructor Yan still remembers it well 🤣 It was when Stéphane and I tried to tension the mainsail and the halyard snapped 🤣.

An excellent day's sailing with Yann, who showed us his passion for sailing. What's more, the atmosphere on board was very good.

The skipper

Very well organized! Everyone was able to take part in the maneuvers.

Great experience with Napo. We learned while having fun and enjoying the scenery. The boat was not at its best but the skipper made our day memorable!

The skipper

We spent an extra day! it's not only a sea trip but a real day of initiation to navigation or an improvement depending on the level. Everyone participates, big and small, for us, under the benevolent eyes of Rico. We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day and learned to manoeuvre safely. I recommend all of them!!!

The skipper

Skippair helped me with the booking and payment confirmation! All right! All right!

good family stroll and pleasure to sail againApart from the weather (the rain also invited itself) very good day

The skipper

The cruise

A one-day getaway with Mimi. Unfortunately, the wind was not strong enough at the meeting, but we learned a few manoeuvres, a few knots (well, if I remember... : -)) and all the people who wanted to steer were able to do so. In short, a nice day in the sun!

The skipper

Interesting, explained how her passion for the sea came to her. Pedagogue also to explain the manoeuvres, the wind......

A desire, a dream of cruises ?
