Very nice navigation between Guadeloupe and Marie Galante on a performing sailboat. Active participation
Herber's coaching and teaching is quite rare and very much appreciated.
5 hours of close-hauled sailing on the way back from Marie Galante
Wonderful destination and a great skipper!
Everything went like clockwork!
Magnificent mini-cruise in Marie-Galante with Herber. We learn to steer and have a good time in a sailor atmosphere.
Very good organization.
3 days on the sea !!! A very nice experience. The boat is very well equipped. Herber is a TOP skipper, always listening to his sailors. Extremely kind. A big thank you and see you soon.
As already noted for Herber, a very good skipper. And organizer.For Charlotte from Skippair.com, very nice but maybe she doesn't ask enough questions about our expectations and conditions, before having the contact details of the skipper. Otherwise very good site.
