Your cruise
Discover the Channel Islands and their British charm with Eric. Depart from Saint Malo for a weekend sailing cruise to Chausey for a spectacular change of scenery! Or you could sail west and visit the Brittany estuaries, depending on your skipper's programs – as you wish.
Your possible stops during this cruise
Departure from Saint Malo. Depending on the wind direction, there is a whole host of delightful unspoilt destinations in store! The skipper is amenable to your desires and will happily adapt. He also has several ideas to offer, such as a nature weekend around the Ebihens Islands and the well-preserved barely inhabited peninsular with its dunes, rocks and unspoilt wilderness. The second day can be spent sailing before spending the night in the Chausey Islands, an archipelago of 365 small islands which can be accessed at low tide. The simple landscape – a fort, a chapel, a fishing village and white sandy beaches – is stunning. You can also carry onto La Pointe du Groin a perfect place for weighing anchor in the afternoon and picnicking. Chausey is a magnificent archipelago especially all nature lovers who once there, won't want to leave. Sailing fans may prefer longer sailing adventures, depending on the weather of course. You could forge on north to discover the beauty of the Channel Islands Guernsey, Sark or Jersey. Each of the islands has its own fascinating charm: Jersey has its port and British pubs; the car-free paradise of Sark has its crags and creaks; while Alderney to the north has its white sandy beaches and the Bassan reserve home to thousands of gannets, an enchanting species of bird that you watch for hours. Again from Saint Malo, the skipper also offers a trip west along the coast beyond Cap Fréhel to Saint-Brieuc. Arriving in its bay and nature reserve is a wondrous experience. You could sail on to Paimpol, and even to the isle of Bréhat and its pretty lighthouse if you have the time and the weather permits! Here are three amazing reasons to set sail for a sailing weekend in the Channel Islands or Brittany coast: the landscape which changes with the tide; the delicious sense of peace and tranquillity afforded by the incredible landscapes; and the possibility of seeing dolphins! And there is a fourth reason: the skipper's sense of fun!

Super WE, with good conditions, sunny with light wind on the first day and then steady on the second day, we couldn't go to Chausey as planned because of the conditions and wind direction but we did Cancale and Cap Fréhel which is also worth a detour, the boat is beautiful and very comfortable, perfect!
Professional and friendly sailor, you immediately feel comfortable and safe, and a very good cook!
A good memory: sailing with music in strong winds!
Excellent organisation on the part of the skipper
Very competent
Very good tb

Great weekend! Perfect distribution between sailing, stopovers and living on board! Discover the islets of Chausey, try fishing on foot and take a long walk on the main island!
Eric is a skipper who knows how to adapt the program according to everyone's expectations. With him you immediately feel at ease on your sailboat. And for those who would like to take advantage of a cruise to learn a few things, he turns out to be a very good teacher... Oh yes, and above all he cooks wonderfully well!
2 days cruise on 14/07/2017 (yes I know it took us a while to answer your questionnaire!!!) We are extremely satisfied with our cruise with Eric and his partner, a very warm welcome, very nice fellow travellers too... It was our first time on a sailboat and we are delighted, ready to start again.
Eric and his partner are very kind, welcoming, helpful, fine cooks, always smiling
We loved this short stay which was about discovering us, our colleagues were very friendly, we laughed because a small fishing boat tossed on a rock, the unfortunate did not respect the traffic lanes and rocks nearby... In short it's funny for us and spectacular but not too much for the sailor who arrived but he waited for the tide and didn't seem to have too much damage... Despite the cold of a 14/07 in Brittany, the youngest ones went swimming the next day (but the sea water was really not very hot!!!!!) Everything was perfect because on the return we had the sun it was GENIAL!!!.. Very good atmosphere I highly recommend the Skippair and Eric site
Beautiful weekend, the Chausey archipelago is incredible! Beautiful sailboat, very comfortable, ultra safe and dynamic.
Eric has an experience of encyclopedic sailing, you feel confident from the very first second. Very friendly, motivating and humorous skipper! He seems to have almost as much experience of being a human being as he does of sailing and thus knows how to adapt perfectly to the dynamics of the group. Really want to stay longer on the Blanche Hermine!
Very clearly to steer the boat in a strong wind and Eric's confidence!
