The skipper

We were delighted with this cruise, which was full of discoveries: discovering life aboard a sailboat, how it works and its "comforts", discovering Guadeloupe and the islands of Marie-Galande and the Saintes archipelago. Discovering Guadeloupe and the islands of Marie-Galande and the Saintes archipelago. Discovering the friendliness of our host FREDERIC and DIANE, our English crewmate, as well as the West Indians. Discovering remarkable sites and beaches for relaxation and snorkeling at various anchorages. Discovering sunshine and blue skies in early March. In short, we're ready to do it all over again as soon as possible.
FREDERIC is a true professional on HIS boat, which he knows by heart and which he entrusts to us neophytes, but with real control, because he anticipates mistakes. We learn from him because, with his past as a teacher, he likes to share his experience in many fields: sailing of course, but also cooking, humor and music. So thank you and bon vent Jean-Jacques!
Had an absolutely amazing trip with Fred. We had no sailing experience and Fred took the time to explain things and teach us, and we now have a new appreciation for sailing. The schedule was very flexible and Fred would ask us about our preferences, where we wanted to stay and visit etc. The food was great and really varied (paella, crepes, casserole, salads, tacos). We were on the boat for 9 days in Guadeloupe and in addition to sailing, we swam in geothermal water, went snorkeling (saw turtles and many fish), and visited cute towns and small islands. We would 100% go on a sailing trip with Fred again. Thank you for an amazing time!
Fred makes friends wherever he goes! He made us and the other guests feel really comfortable and made sure we had a good time.
A fabulous cruise in Les Saintes on a boat offering optimal comfort!
Frédéric is very professional, attentive, funny and dedicated to making sure we have the best possible time!
Fantastic cruise from Le Gosier to Marie Galante. We embarked on our 1st 3-day/2-night sailboat cruise with some trepidation. Frédéric immediately reassured us and patiently introduced us to sailing, even though we were complete novices and he has a solid sailing background. Frédéric had taken care of all the logistics: we lacked absolutely nothing (right down to the ti punch or planteur in the evening). We anchored at several snorkelling spots close to and visited Saint Louis and Grand Bourg. You can also rent a car or scooter to explore the island from these 2 points. We loved life on the water, a different pace of life and a different approach to travel. Thanks to Frédéric for this fabulous first experience. We're already thinking about our next sailing trip...
Frédéric listens to our every need and desire. What's more, he's a very good cook: we were able to taste his paella and Christmas ham ;-) Great evenings and moments of sharing and life on board. Many thanks for everything.
A magnificent cruise. We sailed around Guadeloupe with an average of 25 knots of wind for a week.... These were trade winds. Life on board went very well with Frédéric, who lived up to my expectations in terms of the course and choice of anchorages. Frédéric is an excellent cook. Who cooks doesn't do the dishes. I'd particularly like to mention Frédéric's cordiality, friendliness and exceptional professionalism. Thank you very much for everything you've done for me. I'd also like to point out that Frédéric lives on his boat. This means that you live with him and in his home, which is a very pleasant experience.
Thank you for the organization, everything worked perfectly. You were very responsive.
Sailing in 30 knots of wind several times during the week. Frédéric knows his boat and the region very well, so reefing or sailing under genoa is always the skipper's choice, and the right choice was always made. Thank you
Very pleasant and instructive sailing between Le Gosier, Marie Galante, Terre de haut and Terre de bas (Les Saintes). Frédéric is not only friendly, passionate and a very good cook; we had a great time and chatted a lot! He's also an experienced sailor and skipper with whom you feel completely safe, which is essential if you want to enjoy the moment. He knows the area like the back of his hand (including the anchorages where you can swim with the turtles... ;-). Thank you for this wonderful experience and see you soon
Smooth process with Skippair
We spent three wonderful days and two nights sailing to and around the Iles des Saintes. We had plenty time for exploring the islands on foot, swimming and enjoying our captain's first class meals. Highly recommended!
Frédéric is a fabulous host who goes that extra mile to make sure that everyone is happy. His attention to detail, humour and good taste in wine, food and cheeses made this trip extra special. He is also a teacher and I have come away with extra sailing knowledge!
I have so many great memories and photos from this trip, from swimming in deserted bays, to meeting and chatting with the locals in Terres-de-Haut, singing kareoke as well as meeting people from other boats. All of this possible because our captain has expert knowledge of sailing, the islands and he has a charming relationship with the locals and boating community.
We made the cruise in family around the saintes during 5 days. The children are delighted as we are between swimming, snorkeling, learning to sail ... it's really a great experience that we are not close to forget. Thanks to Fred for all these good moments of life.
Frédéric is a pro who masters his subject and likes to transmit his passion for sailing.
Very easy to organize. Wonderful stay at sea with Frederic who has a great experience of navigation and a real know-how in the transmission and the reception of his hosts. We were able to discover fabulous places, with a great freedom in the choice of anchorage. Frédéric even found the time to prepare delicious meals. We will come back for sure for new adventures at sea.
thank you for the great organization.
Very nice cruise, very well organized with Frederic! He took us to beautiful places around Marie Gallante and the Saintes, snorkeling at anchorages, swimming with turtles, and also some escapades on land. Frederic knew how to adapt the course so that everyone had fun, sailing for parents and swimming for children!
Very good skipper, very friendly, very experienced, and who moreover took care of all the logistics and cooking on board, we recommend without hesitation!
We were introduced to sailing, thanks to the good advice of Frederic, passionate and exciting. We enjoyed this short stay off Guadeloupe. We would go back with our eyes closed.
Thank you Frederic for your adaptability to our constraints and desires. You listened to us and were able to meet all our expectations. It was great!
A real moment of sharing, a very beautiful sailboat well mastered by Frederic, there is no doubt. Frédéric is flexible and adapts to our desires. On my 3 days trip, I wanted to go to Marie-Galante, to put down well on land to visit a distillery, to bathe, to have a good time and on the way back I asked about the possibility to go around Marie-Galante. Bingo with Frederic! It allowed me to see him sailing, looking for the best course, managing the wind, its decline ... Superb moment. Ha and Frederic is also a good cook, who knows how to receive with a good wine, a small rum... What more could you ask for? If : sleep a little on the deck ! Yes, I really appreciated to be so cradled, with a return to my cabin at 4am. Very nice memory, thank you Frédéric and very nice days to you, to both of you, and to all those who will sail with you. Serge
Thank you for being able to adapt to my constraints. I recommend you without any worries
It was a pleasure for me and my boyfriend to spend three days sailing, swimming, sunbathing, relaxing, singing, chatting, eating, drinking and counting stars with Fréd! Marie-Galante is a nice island, with gold beaches, turquoise sea and deep-green vegetation. It’s pretty close to the Marina in the Guadeloupe so it’s the perfect choice for those like us who would like to sail without going too far. Extremely recommend experience!!!
Fréd is an expert skipper and a very cheerful person. He can answer all your questions on sailing while he does his best so that you can have fun and come back home with some amazing memories!
We spent three magical days with Fred, who took good care of us. His boat is really very nice. He taught us how to sail, answered all our questions and also shared with us his great sailing experience. Fred made us discover beautiful places and cooked good food (including his famous paella!). We recommend it with our eyes closed.
Very simple and easy to access.
Swimming with the turtles at Terre de bas
We had a great time on Frédéric's sailboat (call her Fred!), in the Saintes islands of Guadeloupe. Frederic is a great skipper, always in a good mood and with a positive energy. He is flexible, and offers a lot of options according to our preferences (for example, we changed anchorages several times a day).
He made us very comfortable from the first contact. Super ti punchs, and also a good cook ;D
Great! I don't know what else to say, everything was perfect! Fred's welcome, our care, the accompaniment, the planning, the time management, the advice... Fred takes care of everything. He is super pleasant, we felt like we were travelling with an old friend. The atmosphere was great. Fred cooked up some little dishes worthy of chefs. Paella, fish, roast, we enjoyed ourselves. We travelled with our 2 and a half year old daughter and she immediately felt at ease on the boat, she found her place, we couldn't have dreamed better.
On top! A great skipper and a person with an exceptional temperament.
Our first night with Fred. A boat neighbour joined us. Accordion, guitar, a few beers and a memorable night swim!
It was a breakthrough for us. Our first cruise and our best experience during our stay in Guadeloupe. Frédéric is a reassuring, attentive, respectful and cheerful skipper. We spent an extraordinary stay in his company as if we were staying with an old friend. The program concocted despite the short duration of our cruise was up to our expectations. A special mention for Fred's culinary talents who delighted us with his salads and small simmered dishes.PS: above all, if you go with him and you're a maths teacher, tell him instead that you were a backhoe driver! Kisses for Fred from Sabine and Philippe and we look forward to seeing you on your boat.
the organization has been rigorous and flawless. The contacts were smooth and trouble-free.
After a good planter shared with neighbours at anchor and a memorable paella (albeit without peppers!), lie down at the front of the boat and contemplate the starry sky.
5 days of pure sailing with a top skipper to admire this part of the West Indies... An unforgettable cruise, a pleasant monohull, a skipper who listens and listens, authentic landscapes, warm people, a cuisine to fall back on... Unforgettable memories
As for SKIPPAIR, an impeccable organisation As for Frédéric, a professional skipper and friendly man who knows this region of the world inside out... then you can sail with your eyes closed 😎
