Your cruise
After 9 years spent in the Mediterranean, this superb sailboat has been transferred to the Atlantic coast in autumn 2020. It is from Arzal that I propose you to embark on board and discover the joys of sailing in southern Brittany.
Your possible stops during this cruise
The sailing program is decided together, according to your wishes and desires, the composition of the crew, taking into account of course the weather. I am at your disposal to meet your wishes and expectations.
We will meet at 8am for a short briefing on your course. Together we will determine an itinerary, as the sailing area from Arzal is vast, extending northwards to the Iroise Sea (Ouessant, Molène, Ile de Sein...), southwards to Ile d'Yeu, Ile de Ré...
Belle-île en Mer, the bay of Quiberon (Houat, Hoëdic), the Gulf of Morbihan, the island of Groix, the archipelago of Glénan are within sailing distance.The Gulf of Morbihan is a natural park famous for its many islands and islets, the most famous of which are the Île aux Moines and the Île d'Arz... We are spoilt for choice!
The skipper
Set sail with Serge for sailing lessons on the Côte d'Azur or around Corsica!
I don't really have a principle I cling to. Unless it's "safety first".

It was a great first for us (1 couple + 2 young people aged 17 and 20) and we can say that the weather was not on board! but the discovery of the boat, the exchanges with Serge (half Captain Barbosa on the Black Pearl, half gentleman who hides his sensitivities but who knows how to manage everything in all circumstances), and especially the atmosphere on board the boat (with Valerie and a couple of students Léo and Jo), allowed us to get a real taste of what a sailing 'training cruise' means! Demanding, discoveries, sensations, relationships, love and sometimes anger; in short, a great cocktail that made us want to do it again one day ;)
As mentioned above, Serge knows how to make you feel confident and give the right orders so that you understand how to hoist a mainsail, tuck in a jib and lower your head when gybing! On a boat, when it's time for action, there's no room for discussion; when you have to stick to it, you have to stick to it; especially when the weather is getting rough!
All of a sudden, while we are on our side between Belle-Ile and Groix, a good crosswind that makes us go upwind at about 7-8 knots, the appearance of 2 beautiful dolphins that approach our boat and then come to play with the front of the bow: a small film has immortalized this magnificent improbable!
Wonderful itinerary, spacious and comfortable boat, very nice and educational captain. A wonderful cruise to enjoy Brittany while improving your sailing skills!
5 stars, very educational, great sense of humour, knows his boat inside out, wants to pass on his knowledge to others and does so remarkably well
